In this episode of Creative Guts, co-hosts Laura Harper Lake and Sarah Wrightsman chat with Portsmouth City Councilor and advocate for the arts, Nancy Pearson! Only in Portsmouth can someone run for local office on an arts campaign and win — and that’s exactly what Nancy did. During her time in office, Nancy championed the City’s “percent for art” ordinance, ensuring public art would be part of every new municipally-owned development. Nancy’s passion for the Foundry Place public art projects is palpable, even in podcast format.
