In 1977, the North Carolina General Assembly established the Grassroots Arts Program to ensure that every citizen has access to quality arts experiences. The program provides funding for the arts in all 100 counties in North Carolina. A local arts council, like the Haywood County Arts Council, approved by the North Carolina Arts Council to receive and administer Grassroots funds is known as a Designated County Partner (DCP).
Applications for the 2017-18 grant season will be made available in late summer or early fall of 2017. The Grassroots Arts Program is supported by the N.C. Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
