Information About

Arts North Carolina




In addition to providing support for arts organizations in the forms of technical assistance, professional development, and networking opportunities, ARTS North Carolina works closely with another not-for-profit organization, Arts Advocates of North Carolina, which provides support for a full-time arts Lobbyist and a yearly Grassroots lobbying event, ARTS Day. These lobbying efforts are designed to increase funding for the local arts councils, which in turn increase the amount of grant money available to local artists and arts organizations.

Their current campaign is entitled ''Plant the Arts: Grow North Carolina'', which has identifiable connections with a similar campaign by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, entitled ''Goodness Grows in North Carolina''. The campaign makes the claim that investment in the arts industry will lead, through various direct and indirect channels, to a better economy for North Carolina.

The current Executive Director (and registered lobbyist for Arts Advocates of North Carolina) is Karen Wells, and the current Board President is Georgann Eubanks.
