Get involved in the arts in your area!

North Carolina is alive with opportunity to see and do things in theater, dance, music, literature and visual art. And don’t forget about North Carolina crafts—featured at festivals and street fairs throughout the year.

“Telling Our Stories” is the 2008 theme for the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources. Among special events for 2008 are “Far From Home,” a free exhibition at the N.C. Museum of Art that features photography, paintings, and sculpture with the theme of relocation and its impact; “ArtDuckO: Waterfowl Culture in North Carolina,” an exhibit at the N.C. Museum of History that will showcase vintage decoys, Audubon prints, artifacts, and images that tell the story of how ducks and other waterfowl have affected our history and culture; and more than 500 events at state historic sites across North Carolina all year.
