Everyone at Dare Arts is heartbroken for our artist friends and the artistic communities in the Western North Carolina mountains that have been devastated by Hurricane Helene.
Dare Arts will be collecting monetary donations for NC Arts Disaster Relief Fund during First Friday in downtown Manteo on Friday, October 4 from 6pm to 8pm. The NC Arts Disaster Relief Fund is run through the North Carolina Arts Foundation and provides funding and assistance to artists and arts organizations affected by Hurricane Helene. You can donate with cash or a check at Dare Arts Gallery's main checkout area or at their courtesy drink station during First Friday. Checks must be made out to "NC Arts Disaster Relief Fund" and please write "Hurricane Helene Relief" in the subject line. All donations will be sent directly from Dare Arts to the NC Arts Disaster Relief Fund.
Dare Arts has created a list below of trusted organizations that directly support artists in times of crisis. This list was created as a resource for artists looking for help as well as a resource for individuals looking to support artists in the NC mountains.
We are always inspired by the resiliency and creativity of our NC arts community, and we know that we are stronger together. Dare Arts will continue to finds ways to support our mountain artist friends in the weeks and months to come.
Dare Arts is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts organization dedicated to encouraging the arts in Dare County through advocacy, enrichment and opportunity.
