Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

We believe that communities thrive when they draw on participants' personal experiences and local cultures. By telling stories - whether in the form of performance, radio, video, or other media - communities build power, envision new democratic possibilities, and change culture and policy. Our work is located at the intersection of arts, technology, and social change. We work with grassroots groups, nonprofits, foundations, media-makers and journalists in the U.S. South and beyond.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Working with communities to tell great stories that inspire, activate and enliven our democracy.

  • Narrative Arts Center: Narrative Arts' staff work collaboratively across programs to support grassroots, foundations and communities in harnessing the power of storytelling and narrative change for equity.

    Expenses $382,685

  • Narrative Arts Performances: create, produce, and tour performance work based on the history and lives of coastal North Carolina's people and other rural communities. The progam collaborates with other artistic companies to create performances that address issues of place and culture. The program also works with communities across the county to help them explore their own cultures, stories, and community concerns. Narrative Arts staff produce original works, research methodologies, and create curriculum guides (Where I Come From, Loud As We Want, and Still Here).

  • Coastal Youth Media (CYM): trains youth in media arts and develops leadership and civic values. The program takes place year round in Wilmington, North Carolina, and in seven surrounding counties. CYM works collaboratively with peers and media professionals to create powerful documenrtries and new-media productions that tell the stories of our region's diverse culture. Through the process of researching and producing original media, participants create individual and group works that also allow participants to explore career and higher education interests.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
