NCAM creates events to raise funds and awareness for arts on the coast. We split the money we raise into two key areas:
Scholarships – Scholarships to high school seniors pursuing further education and training in the Arts. We define arts as any creative activity, from fine art to writing to music to culinary to coding – all of these are forms of art that elevate communities
Special Projects – We are raising money to build a recording studio at Neah-Kah-Nie High School to create a Music Technology program, and we offer recording grants to local musicians via our in-house recording studio.
