Kick off the new year with creativity and connection at our January Business After Hours on Thursday, January 8, from 5–7 p.m. at Portsmouth Music and Arts Center (PMAC) in the West End.
Join fellow Chamber members for an inspiring evening of music, art, and community—featuring live jazz by PMAC faculty, a hands-on art activity with teaching artist Anna Nuttall, and plenty of time to mingle over lite bites and libations. Hosted by PMAC in partnership with Partners Bank, and sponsored by Bank of New Hampshire, this relaxed after-hours gathering is the perfect way to reconnect, recharge, and start the year on a creative note.
