2025 EOY Campaign

This year has shown how essential the arts are to our community, from First Friday Art Crawls and Buskers Fest to new public art along the Middle Fork Greenway. With rising needs after Hurricane Helene, the Watauga Arts Council has continued stepping up to support artists, strengthen the creative economy, and bring people together.

Your year-end, tax-deductible gift keeps this work alive. It directly supports:

• Arts programming that brings joy and connection

• Art for All Abilities, expanding inclusive arts access

• Art in the Outdoors, boosting cultural tourism

• Opportunities and resources for local artists

• Planning for a future Art Center & Innovation Hub

Since 2022, WAC has helped secure more than $558,000 for arts nonprofits and public art, but operational support depends on individual donors like you. Your contribution ensures we can continue leading, creating, and inspiring.

If you believe in a High Country where creativity fuels resilience and community, we encourage you to give to our End of Year Campaign by December 31. Every gift truly matters.
