Arts and Audiences--North Carolina Arts Council

Arts and Audiences

The Arts Council believes that arts organizations should provide programs of high quality and facilitate ways for participants and audiences to find personal meaning in these activities. The Arts and Audiences program underscores the importance of striking a balance between these two principles in order for all kinds of arts organizations to remain relevant and vital in their communities.

Description

This category provides funds to organizations to increase and enhance participation in the arts by linking the content of art programs they wish to produce with the interests and experiences of the audiences they wish to engage. Grant funds will be awarded to support strong artistic programs with clear audience and participation goals.
Projects may be designed to:
  • Give your current audience a deeper experience with and connection to your programs
  • Build relationships with new audiences whom you want to serve
  • Increase the numbers of people involved in your programs
The NC Arts Council funds a wide range of arts projects, including, of interest to CHASS scholars, projects in Film and in Literary Arts.
