We’re continuing to celebrate National Poet

📣 We’re continuing to celebrate National Poetry Month with this powerful piece by Nicholas Johnson from Wakefield High School. “Should Have Died” was one of 12 finalist pieces in our 2024 High School Spoken Word Competition. 📝✨

Wake County’s arts economy generates $543.3

🎨 Wake County’s arts economy generates $543.3M—nearly 1/4 of NC’s total $2.2B arts impact. This kind of return is made possible through public funding from orgs like the NEA, which gives $1.2M to NC and we turn that into billions.

Now that’s a pretty solid ROI, don’t you think?

Public investment in the arts works. Let’s keep it going! Read the full AEP6 report at the link in our bio.
