The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) announced Friday, Dec. 5, 22 North Carolina organizations will receive $527,000 in the categories of Art Works, Challenge America and Creative Writing Fellowships in Poetry.
The NEA will award 1,116 grants totaling $29.1 million to organizations and individuals across the United States.
“These new projects will continue to demonstrate the power the arts have to deepen value, build connections and foster an atmosphere of creativity and innovation both at the community level and with individuals throughout the nation,” NEA Chairman Jane Chu stated in a Dec. 5 North Carolina Arts Council press release.
Wilmington’s Cucalorus Film Foundation will be awarded a $15,000 grant to support the 21st Cucalorus Film Festival.
