A fresh wave of art will soon hit Cumberland County. The Public library secured $50,260 in federal funding to bring artists right into its walls. This new Creative Collaborations project springs from Library Services and Technology Act funds. "This residency will help connect our community through the power of art," said Cumberland County Senior Branch Manager and Co-Project Manager Gracey Gordon, according to Cumberland County News. Funding flows from the Institute of Museum and Library Services with oversight by the State Library of North Carolina, ensuring the resources are used wisely.
