Arts Resources
North Carolina had long been recognized for rich traditions in crafts, literature, historical drama and music when, by executive order in 1964, Governor Terry Sanford created the North Carolina Arts Council to strengthen North Carolina's creativity, invention and prosperity.
Under Governor Dan K. Moore, the Arts Council became a statutory state agency in 1967. It operates today as an agency of the Department of Cultural Resources, the nation's first cabinet level state agency for the arts, history, and libraries.
The N.C. Arts Council is governed by a 24-member board appointed by the Governor, a 26-member staff, and serves as the steward of state and federal funds appropriated for the arts. Arts Council Board meetings are open to the public.
