The Arts Council, representing a consortium of five 501(c)3 Arts Organizations in Carteret County—Arts Council of Carteret County, Carteret Community Theatre, American Music Festival, Carteret Arts Forum, and the Down East FolkArts Society—received a grant for $6,000 from the Tourism Development Authority in May 2013. The grant funding is directed to advertising our combined activities in Our State Magazine—an estimated total of 68 events between the five arts organizations for the program season July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014. Our goal through advertising is to bring people from outside of our area to Carteret County for our arts offerings. The grant Project Name is "The Season Is The Reason To Be in Carteret County," and this theme will be the focus of our six one-quarter page ads. The first ad that appeared in the September issue of Our State Magazine is posted on this home page.

The Arts Council is excited about the opportunity to promote and support the wonderful arts offerings in our county. We believe this will promote Carteret County as the Arts Destination on the Crystal Coast.
