The New Hampshire Institute of Art is located in the heart of New England in beautiful Manchester –the state’s largest city. Boston, the New England seacoast, and the Lakes Region are all within an hour’s drive, and the White Mountains are just 90 minutes to the north providing multiple opportunities for recreational activities and sightseeing.

The mission of the New Hampshire Institute of Art is to engage students, artists, scholars, and the community in the arts through quality education, outreach, and access to creative resources, with a focus on the present and a vision on the future. The Institute will distinguish itself through a continued emphasis on teaching the integration of creative, aesthetic, technical, and critical skills in artistic expression.
