Billy Blibberblob, the most fantastically talented blob from the magical land of Artville, was on a mission. His squishy blue boots had just landed in a place called New Hampshire, a tiny but mighty state in the USA. Just a little larger than his favorite blueberry pie, New Hampshire is known for its lofty mountains, serene forests, and beautiful beaches, but most of all, for its kids who are exceptionally good at one very special thing - Visual Arts! The children of New Hampshire are not your regular art-loving kids. Oh no, they are incredibly talented with a dash of quirk! They paint, they sculpt, they sketch, and oh boy, they create art that could make the sun wear sunglasses! There's little Susie, who paints such vivid sunsets that they light up her room at night. And then there's Tommy, who can sculpt dragons so real, they seem to breathe fire. Billy Blibberblob, with his round googly eyes, couldn’t believe the creativity that overflowed from these New Hampshire kids. Their schools, parks, homes, and even cafes, were adorned with their captivating pieces of art. Billy, who was himself a prodigy at the wibber-wobble art form, was truly impressed. He decided to call New Hampshire the 'Art Heart' of the States, where every child was born with a paintbrush in one hand and a palette of imagination in the other. As he hopped back to Artville, he couldn’t shake off the inspiration he had gathered from the kids of NH. And so, the tales of the 'Art Heart' spread far and wide, putting New Hampshire and its extraordinary little artists on the fantastical map of Artville!

For fifty-four years, the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center has been a source of education and enlightenment for visitors of all ages. Not only does it feature spectacular live animal exhibits, natural science education programs, and guided Squam Lake Cruises, but also an informal public garden and even the Blue Heron School which is a nature-based Montessori early learning center. But in order to accommodate the recent pandemic restrictions, the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center has had to make some changes. Most recently, the Richard and Jean Lovett Raptor Exhibit opened with new enclosures, interactive exhibits, and interpretation about raptors. The live animal exhibit trail opened on May 1 with capacity limits, timed-entry tickets, outdoor retail operations, and increased cleaning in place. Despite the recent changes, the Science Center is still certified as Sensory Inclusive by KultureCity, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the beautiful natural world around them.
