North Carolina State Board of Education policy specifies that the NC Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) will formally collect feedback on the draft revised standards from educators, administrators, parents, students, institutions of higher education, business/industry representatives, and other education agencies. The purpose of this survey is to obtain input from educators and stakeholders familiar with the Arts Education Standard Course of Study in order to inform revision decisions.
The NCDPI Arts Education Team requests your thoughtful input and comments on Draft 2 of the revised academic standards for Arts Education using the general feedback survey, which is also accessible with the QR code.
This survey is estimated to take about 10-20 minutes to complete. We thank you for your time and input. Your feedback is extremely valuable to the Arts Education standards revision process.
Society Awards is delighted to announce a new scholarship opportunity for graduating seniors attending traditional, non-selective NC public high schools.
The Youth Renaissance Scholarship will offer three financial awards of $10,000, $3,000, and $2,000 for deserving students who will pursue a major or double major in the visual arts at a university or college. Applicants must be nominated by an art teacher and referred by a counselor.
Full details will be provided on the Society Awards website from April 1, including a link to a recommendation form for teachers. A reminder will be issued in the April newsletter.
Students will submit art portfolios during the application window from April 15, 2024, through May 15, 2024. The attached flyer provides some information about the scholarship and why Society Awards wants to encourage our young people to pursue careers in the visual arts.
We look forward to hearing from you and your talented students.

North Carolina's Vision for Comprehensive Arts Education
In today's globally competitive world, innovative thinking and creativity are essential for all school children. High quality, standards-based instruction in the arts develops these skills and effectively engages, retains, and prepares future-ready students for graduation and success in an entrepreneurial economy. Dance, music, theatre arts, and visual arts, taught by licensed arts educators and integrated throughout the curriculum, are critical to North Carolina's 21st century education. (Senate Bill 66: Comprehensive Arts Education Task Force, 2010)
