Celebrating Iredell County’s Grassroots Arts Nonprofits
A big part of the Iredell Arts Council's mission is to lift up and support other arts initiatives in our county. One of the key ways we achieve this is through grant support.
This #GivingTuesday, we’re proud to spotlight the incredible organizations that received funding from the Iredell Arts Council through the NC Arts Council Grassroots Arts Programs Grants. These nonprofits are vital to Iredell County’s creative and cultural heartbeat, and we’re thrilled to support their missions through grant funding and community collaboration.
