The North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources

We agree with Jennie.  The N.C. Department of Cultural Resources has done a wonderful job for North Carolina and the Arts.   Have you ever visited their website?  It has great information of various arts to learn about and see in North Carolina. 

 "The North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources was formed in 1971 to serve North Carolina’s citizens across the state in an outreach to broaden minds and spirits, preserve history and culture, and to recognize and promote our cultural resources as an essential element of North Carolina’s economic and social well-being. It was the first state organization in the nation to include all agencies for arts and culture under one umbrella. The North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources includes the State Library, the State Archives, 27 Historic Sites, 7 History Museums, Historical Publications, Archaeology, Genealogy, Historic Preservation, the North Carolina Symphony, the North Carolina Arts Council, and the North Carolina Museum of Art."  

Jennie Keatts writes, "The Department of Cultural Resources has done a fantastic job of working with the arts in NC. I was and remain thoroughly impressed with them since moving here in 1999.". Visit her blog at Turning Mud into Gemstones.
