In 2023, with the support of the NC Arts Council and Raleigh Arts, United Arts awarded over $100,000 to 69 individual artists to help them complete work for exhibitions, buy new equipment, create websites, attend workshops, pay for studio space, and so much more.

Supporting local artists is a direct line to supporting the local economy. A vibrant cultural scene is a key component of a community where people want to live, work, and play and we can’t have that without supporting the artists and their ability to continue to create.
