The Arts Council of Carteret County is offering grants to Carteret County local art groups to assist with arts and cultural programming. These grants will be used to financially assist groups in providing quality arts programming to the citizens of Carteret County. Grassroots grants are intended to fund particular arts projects that will be completed by June 30, 2009. Programs can focus on theater, music, dance, writing, folk-life, or the visual arts. The Arts Council of Carteret County and the North Carolina Arts Council Grassroots Arts Program support the program; additional funding is received from the National Endowment for the Arts.
“The Grassroots Arts Program is one of the best ways to raise funds for arts organizations,” says Pam Cooper, President of the Arts Council of Carteret County. Applicants may be either arts organizations or community service organizations that develop arts projects for the general public or for traditionally under-served audiences. Applicants must be non-profit organizations that have federal 501 (c) tax-exempt status or units of local government, civic clubs, churches, schools, theater groups, arts festivals, boys & girls clubs, libraries, senior citizens’ centers, parks & recreation departments and other community-based groups are eligible to submit an application.
A grant panel consisting of Carteret County residents reads and selects grants to be funded. Awards are decided by assessing the overall impact to the citizens of Carteret County, the overall excellence of the program, as well as its practicality.
Grant Applications are due May 31, 2008. For more information, or to obtain an application, please call The Arts Council of Carteret County at 252-726-9156 or email the Arts Council at artscarteret@yahoo.com.

ACCC Launches
“Adopt an Artist”
The Arts Council of Carteret County (ACCC) is sponsoring a brand new program that partners local businesses and the arts community through a venue called “Adopt an Artist.” Given the keen interest from businesses who have expressed an interest to the ACCC about finding and displaying art and visual media for their walls and lobbies, Adopt an Artist provides a means by which businesses can select the artists whose work they wish to display from a list of artists who have registered with the ACCC their work for show.
It is anticipated that artwork selected through the Adopt an Artist venue will begin to be placed in local businesses beginning in November 2007. There is no fee to businesses for participating in this program; yet artists must be members in good standing with the ACCC. Both the businesses and the artists will sign an agreement to participate in the program for a six-month term. Artists will submit application to ACCC, along with non-returnable photographs of the artwork that they wish to display. Businesses will select the artwork for their venues from a catalog of these photographs. Selected artwork will be on display in a business for a period of two months. At the end of the two-month period, the business will receive the next artwork it selected.
Artists may sell their work through Adopt an Artist by placing prices on the artwork and negotiating sales directly with buyers. Neither businesses nor the ACCC will be involved in these sales, nor will they receive a commission.
Recent promotion regarding Adopt an Artist was sent to the entire Carteret County Chamber of Commerce mailing list of its business members. In addition, forms for businesses and artists who wish to participate in the program are posted on this ACCC website— Click on Adopt an Artist, complete the appropriate form, and submit it to the ACCC by mail. Artists must also submit photographs of their work by mailing them to ACCC, PO Box 2294, Morehead City, NC 28557. (The “Samples of Artwork” page from the application form must accompany the photos.) Direct any questions about the program to sally@promiselandphoto.com; type “Adopt an Artist” in the subject line.
A progress report on the Adopt an Artist program will appear in a future ACCC newsletter as well as the ACCC website
