North Carolina is not recognized as much
for the size of its arts grants as for its de
velopment of community arts, Cooper said.
"We are claimed to be a leader in the
development of localized popular culture. We
have 91 community arts councils. There is an
arts festival once a year in every town of any
size in the state."
The state agency responsible for instigating
and encouraging such community culture
growth is the North Carolina Arts Council.
Its stated purpose reads: "It is the mission of
the North Carolina Arts Council to represent
and support excellence in the arts, to en
courage their growth and evolution in North
Carolina, to foster a broader understanding
of the role of the arts in the total society, and
to provide opportunities for every North .
Carolinian to participate in the creative
process." ,
The council also follows several goals: "to
provide leadership to assess the needs of the
arts, to help arts organizations increase their
capabilities to serve their constituencies, to
build a network of local sponsors, and to em
phasize the development of the arts in areas
of limited resources."
Cooper said the council achieved its pur
poses not be generating programs itself but
by funding programs implemented and de
signed by local groups. Allowing community
groups to create their own programs and
helping them only by Financing their indivi
dual endeavors decentralizes the creative pro
cess. "We don't operate arts for the state by
running our own programs. We give money
out to let people of the state operate the arts
for themselves. We want to give people their
own opportunities."
Grants are awarded on a matching basis,
and applications which ask the council to
assume more than 50 percent of the cash ex
penses of a project are rejected. Sometimes
"in-kind contributions" such as volunteer
work or donated office space can be equated
with cash contributions and used to match
North Carolina Arts Council grants.
The council itself also avoids soliciting
funds from sources outside the state legisla
ture. It leaves that task to localized arts coun
cils to ensure them a greater chance of fund
raising success. "We don't want' to do that
.because we'd be taking away from a particu
lar organization the chance to get money. '
We'd reduce their available funds," said
Coooper.
How successful have the council's efforts
been?. Statistics provide, the. clearcit .answer..

In the same span of years, the number of con
cert series have grown from 15 to 95, art dis
play centers from 30 to 200, symphony or
chestras from 8 to 16 and community arts
councils from 10 to 91. "The increase in arts
activities in North Carolina has been pheno
menal," Cooper said.
One of the programs primarily responsible
for this unprecedented growth is the Grass
roots Arts Program which this year divided
$593,750 among all North Carolina counties
on a per capita basis, he said.
The Grassroots Arts Program was ratified
by the N.C. Senate in 1977. It is designed "to

assist the counties in the development of com
munity arts programs." Through this pro
gram the state provides its major support of
local arts projects, Cooper said.
Money is awarded in bulk to the county
and disbursed by a local distributing agent
nominated by the county commissioners and
approved by the state council. Typically this
agency is the county arts council. In the 41
communities which do not have a council, the
North Carolina Arts Council chooses the dis
tributor or gives the money to individual or
ganizations. In Orange County, for example, there is no
countywide arts agency, so the grassroots
funds are awarded on an individual basis.
This year, the county as a whole received a
total of $7,410. Of that the Art School in
-Carr Mill Mall received $2,200, the Apple
Chill Cloggers $1,210, the Triangle Weavers
$500, the School Art Guild $500, the Carolina
Area Friends of Bluegrass and Blues $500,
the Chapel Hill Preservation Society $1,000,
the CenterGallery $750 and the Chapel Hill
Young People's Orchestra $750.
To be eligible to receive any funding from '
the North Carolina Arts CounciHhe organi
zation must:
exist primarily to aid the arts
consist of programs open to the entire
community
be a non-profit, tax-exempt corporation
registered with the state
be governed by a citizen board which is
not self-perpetuating
be in existence for more than a year
be able to match the funds made avail
able to them
' The North Carolina Arts Council's budget
for 1980 is divided into five categories: Basic
Arts Delivery System, which includes the
Grassroots funds and grants to cover opera
tional costs of certain arts agencies
($ 1 ,073,750), Development Grants ($191 ,000).
Individual Artist Grants ($136,300), Touring
Sponsor Development ($178,000) and Tech
nical Assistance Administrative Training
($39,000).
The Grassroots Arts Program is part of the
Basic Arts Delivery System which also awards
funds to organizations categorized as state
wide arts resources. These 14 agencies, which
include such organizations as Brevard Music
Center and the Southeastern Center for Con
temporary Art, are given funds to alleviate
the strains of their basic operation costs.
Development Grants ' include challenge
t grants to encourage local governments to
K match funds'-'for the arts Salary" 'assistance
-grants and -support for ipiiblic-scWolsl hiring
professional artists.
Individual artists may receive commissions
for a new work or to become an artist-in-resi-dence
at community colleges and technical
institutes. Emerging artists also are matched
with established professionals to facilitate
career-entry for the younger artist. Four
$5,000 fellowships are awarded each year to
allow chosen artists to purchase materials or
have time to work uninterrupted on their cre
ations. Tours are developed through grants in con
junction with the NEA and Southern Arts
Federation. These grants help local sponsors

Technical and administrative skills -are

shops and consultant services sponsored and
provided by the state.
Cooper said the arts audience in North
Carolina was growing and gaining in its so
phistication. "The people are hungry for the
: arts. People were skeptical about bringing
northeastern professional dancers down here
for the American Dance Festival,' but the per
formances are continually sold out."
Cooper cited a Harris poll conducted in the
early 1970s as proof of a growing interest and
willingness to support the arts. "People were
asked if they would be willing to pay $10 in
taxes to go specifically to the arts. Ninety per
cent of the people said 'yes.' "
Given the nationwide arts renaissance and
the accelerated culture growth in North
Carolina of the last five years, Cooper pre
dicts the arts in the state will continue to grow
and improve. "Even if money becomes tight
arts are the kind of things that make people
' feel better. North Carolina arts won't slow
down at all."
