The Grounding Stone
Located within walking distance of Contoocook Village in the town of Hopkinton, Merrimack Valley, New Hampshire. We are ten minutes from the capital of Concord, off I-89, Exit 6. We are just an easy 1/2 mile from the highway. The village is named after the Contoocook River that runs through it. The name Contoocook came from the Pennacook tribe of Native Americans and means "place of the river near pines".

The Blueway Art Alliance is an arts entity that supports the advancement of emerging and established contemporary artists by facilitating communication and dialogue between artists and the local community. It is founded on the notion that a society which is aware of and involved with artists and educational programs for the arts is one that is more hopeful and more meaningfully sustainable.
