Dear Friend of the Arts Council,

We join our community in thanking the many men and women working to meet our basic needs of food and shelter (and lights!) post-Florence.

As area artists and arts organizations assess damages and lost revenue, we are hopeful that regular programming can resume as soon as safely possible.

We are proud to support the quality arts programming that Wilmington is well known for and will soon announce more than $75,000 in direct funding to artists and arts organizations through our partnership with the North Carolina Arts Council. In addition we have recently awarded more than 340 tickets to underserved populations through Broadway for a Better World, our partnership with the Wilson Center.

Your Arts Council is eager to aid in our region’s recovery and welcomes any suggestions about what we can do to make a difference!
