North Carolina Arts Plan!

The North Carolina Arts Council has released a draft plan for the arts over the next four years and is seeking input from the public through an online survey. The Arts Plan for North Carolina 2015-2019 builds on the work of the Arts Council over the last five decades in every 100 counties of the state.
 
The plan is based on the core belief that among North Carolina's greatest assets are its arts, which fuel a thriving creative economy, prepare students for successful futures, and are essential to building and enriching our communities, large and small.
 
The survey is open until June 1. For more information about the arts in North Carolina and the programs of the N.C. Arts Council visit www.NCArts.org.
