A year of engagement made possible by you A N N U A L R E P O R T JULY 2012- JUNE 2013
This year you got engaged through the arts and transformed our community. One greeter during the “Anne Frank” exhibitions commented that many of the 1,446 visiting students appeared a bit rambunctious upon arrival, but displayed seriousness and thoughtfulness by the end of their tours. Learning about the Holocaust in such a personal way changed them. The experience had a profound impact on visitors of all ages. People ranging from 4 years old to 83 were so moved by the exhibitions that they decided to get engaged. They shared their stories of bullying and injustice on slips of paper taped to an interactive “Witness Wall” display. Ripples from the Holocaust-related exhibitions served as springboards for dialogue. The Arts Council, serving as a cornerstone of culture in our community, engaged with area arts, cultural and historical organizations to present related activities, which led to more than a dozen programs presented by our partners in Cumberland County and Fort Bragg. The “Anne Frank” project is just one example. Whether we are producing an event or writing a grant check that supports another organization, we strive to provide excellence through cultural arts. We invite you to continue engaging with us by reading our story in this annual report. Thanks for enthusiastically saying, “Yes!”

From larger events that reach thousands of people, to a class of 30 children learning to write their own music, the Arts Council serves an elite group: everyone! You were invited to join a hundred thousand others in the colorful celebration of culture at the 34th International Folk Festival and the time-altering event called A Dickens Holiday that rolled the clock back to Victorian times for a 13th year. The Arts Council stands for inclusion and diversity all year long. The building is open for free six days a week, 50 weeks of the year. More than 5,100 visitors poured through the Arts Council’s red doors during monthly 4th Friday events. Online around the clock at www.TheArtsCouncil.com: a cultural calendar, artist opportunities and other resources.
Nationally known musician Ray Codrington, a Fayetteville native, led a thrilling Jazzy Jam session during “Songs from the Soul.” Children had a frontrow seat for the exhibition during school tours and a special art and music workshop.
During the national exhibition “Songs from the Soul,” you and more than 1,500 visitors felt “good, so good!” thanks to James Brown and other icons in music history. Presented by the Arts Council’s Friends of African & African-American Art group, the free exhibition celebrated and explored the contributions of Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin and others. In addition to exhibitions, Arts Council facilities are utilized by community organizations for meetings, workshops, and special events. It’s truly a valuable asset all year long to more than 21,000 visitors. 7

ARTS EDUCATION
84 schools
A LIFETIME OF You were wowed by the seemingly endless creativity of high school art students in the “13th Annual High School Juried Art Exhibition.” The Cumberland County Schools’ Arts Education Program presented over 100 works – from mixed media self-portraits to paperclip sculptures – that were as unique and captivating as the students who created them. The show helped students prepare their portfolios for college admission and gave them a better understanding of how art can be pursued at a professional level. Having their art reviewed by a juror also provided valuable feedback. Learning through the arts is life-changing at any age. Through the Arts Council’s Artists in Schools program, you gave a 7-year-old the chance to learn about centrifugal force while watching a circus performance. Through a lecture on photography, adult artists honed their skills by gleaning the expert advice of Linda Johnson Dougherty with the North Carolina Museum of Art. 9
Students at benefited from grants and education programs for artist residencies, assemblies, performances, and workshops. Schools selected award-winning artists from a directory published annually . The Artists in Schools program is a partnership between the Arts Council, Cumberland County schools, Fort Bragg schools, the North Carolina Arts Council, the City of Fayetteville and Cumberland County.
EVERY STEP
“Footsteps on the stairs, then a rattling at the bookcase. This moment is indescribable.” The words of a 13-year-old girl, hiding from the horrors of the Holocaust. Thousands of visitors experienced Anne Frank’s story at the Arts Council during “Anne Frank: A History for Today” and “Art & Propaganda in Nazi-Occupied Holland,” exhibitions on loan from the Anne Frank Center in New York. A team of volunteer community leaders, including Sonja and Manny Rothstein, requested that the Arts Council present these free exhibitions as a springboard to open community dialogue surrounding issues of discrimination, intolerance and bullying. More than 5,600
people visited, including 29 scheduled schools with a total of 1,446 students. The Arts Council broadened the project by opening for 7 days a week and inviting arts and cultural entities to participate with related programming. Within walking distance of the Arts Council galleries, visitors learned about local Jewish history at the Transportation Museum and Nazi book burning at the Cumberland County Library. The project
Inspiring quotes from Anne Frank’s diary helped visitors transition from a lower-level exhibition about art and propaganda to a second exhibition upstairs and a video about Anne’s short, but impactful, life.

The Arts Council provided opportunities for artists in a variety of ways, including grants and employment. Regional Artist Project Grants awarded $15,571 to 14 exceptionally talented visual artists by funding projects that would have a significant impact on the advancement of their professional artistic careers. (Each year the grant is awarded to different disciplines – for 2012-2013 the grantees were in the field of 2-D or 3-D visual arts.) Artists who resided in these 15 counties were eligible: Bladen, Brunswick, Columbus, Cumberland, Harnett, Hoke, Lee, Montgomery, Moore, New Hanover, Pender, Richmond, Robeson, Sampson and Scotland. The Arts Council administered these grants for the North Carolina Arts Council with support from the Arts Councils of Moore, New Hanover and Robeson counties.
