Today I bring you another arts blog that I love: The State of the Arts. You can find it here
Arts North Carolina is "North Carolina’s statewide advocacy organization for the arts. ARTS North Carolina calls for equity and access to the arts for all North Carolinians, unifies and connects North Carolina’s arts communities, and fosters arts leadership. We speak for the arts wherever there is need."
Their blog, as well as their website, keep North Carolinians who care about the arts, updated on the political state of the arts. Arts North Carolina works extremely hard to advocate for the arts in North Carolina. Right now, there is a strong focus on the arts in education. (Education and Poli. Sci. majors: you might be interested!)
Karen Wells, Executive Director and Lobbyist, has an infectious attitude about the importance of the arts in North Carolina. We are extremely lucky to have such a hard-working woman behind this effort!
I recommend joining their email list and following their blog. Many times, the advocacy end of things gets lost in our everyday effort to stay involved in the arts. I urge anyone who is interested in arts advocacy or simply wants to make sure the arts are present in our schools and community to check this organization out and become a member!
