Arts
in North Carolina
From
the Blue Ridge Mountains and the homegrown music rising out of them,
to the breathtaking vistas and sacred places commanded by
generations of Cherokee, to the literary landscapes drawn from Tar
Heel fact, fiction and legend—there’s no place like North Carolina
for authentic cultural experiences! Performing artists tell our
state’s stories in song, dance and theatrical productions. Notable
North Carolinians,
from John Coltrane to Doc Watson, James Taylor to Billy Taylor,
Nnenna Freelon to Shirley Caesar, Thelonious Monk to Earl Scruggs,
have gone from being citizens of our state to being citizens of the
world. Craft artisans carry on centuries-old traditions—or push them
in dramatic new directions that have given our state a national
reputation for contemporary craft. Take a look at the
offerings through the
NC Arts Council.
