The Community Council for the Arts incites all non-profit groups, organizations and agencies in Lenoir County to apply for Grassroots Arts Programs. These grants are intended to assist organizations in producing new or existing arts programming which the organizations themselves plan. Applications may be picked up at the Arts Center located at 400 North Queen Street in downtown Kinston. These subgrants are made available through the Grassroots Arts Program allocation to Lenoir County from the North Carolina Arts Council, a state agency. The Community Council for the Arts is the local distributing agent for these funds.
