The Library Arts Center (LAC) operates under the umbrella of the Richards Free Library, and is housed in the library’s former carriage house. The LAC is ultimately accountable to the RFL, however, the Library Arts Center raises its funds separately and is governed by its own board of directors.
The Library Arts Center receives some municipal tax support however, it is primarily funded by membership donations, business sponsorships, grants from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation: Upper Valley Region and other foundations, fund-raising events and interest paid from an endowment fund. Gifts to the Arts Center and endowment from individuals, businesses and foundations help to insure and maintain long-term excellence in Arts Center programs.
