SUPPORT
WCPSS + United Arts = 40 (Plus) Year Partnership

Thank you WCPSS employees for supporting Arts Education

For over 40 years, United Arts has partnered with the Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) to enrich the lives of students through the arts. Last year, through our Artists in Schools performances and workshops, arts integration training for teachers, Pieces and Gifts of Gold, and more, United Arts invested more than $432,000 in arts programming in Wake County schools.

Many thanks to all the teachers and staff at WCPSS for their contributions to their workplace campaign last month. As our largest group of collective donors, we are grateful to them for their support of arts education in their schools and for the priceless impact they are making on their students every day. <<back to the top>>

The End of Year is Near

As the holiday season approaches, we have much to be thankful for this year. United Arts is grateful for people like you who have contributed your time, money, and talent to ensure a bright future for the arts in Wake County.

United Arts is dedicated to helping arts and culture organizations create diverse and inclusive arts events, programs, and services that are accessible and equitable to all Wake County residents. By investing in arts organizations, towns, schools, and artists, as well as introducing new programs and grants such as our Diversity in Arts Leadership internships and our Community Spotlight Project Grants, we work to bring the arts to all in our community.

We hope you will consider making a gift in support of United Arts programming before the end of this year. With supporters like you, we are able to MAKE ART HAPPEN across Wake County!
