Since 1985, the state Arts Council has provided funds for the Regional Artists Project program to support professional artists. The regional consortium of eastern North Carolina arts councils matches the N.C. Arts Council to create a pool of funds for the artists. In 2009-2010, more than $200,000 was awarded to 142 artists statewide for projects that advanced individual artistic development. In the East, grant awards to artists generally range from $500 to $1,000, and follow a competitive application and review process. Pitt County Arts Council at Emerge serves as lead arts council for the Eastern North Carolina Regional Consortium and manages the application and review process. Application forms and grant guidelines are available on their website at http://www.pittcountyarts.org/grants/regional-artist-project-grants. Applications must be received no later than Friday, September 17, 2010 at 5PM delivered to Arts Council of Carteret County or to the Pitt County Arts Council at Emerge located at 404 S.
