In 2004, Weiss pledged $100,000 to the Manchester Community College Foundation to establish the Hans Weiss Arts Scholarship. In recognition of this generous gift, the MCC art gallery located in the SBM Charitable Foundation building was renamed the “Hans Weiss Newspace Gallery.” The art gallery hosts monthly exhibits of work by local and international artists, both acclaimed and emerging, as well as student art and pieces from outside artists.
