If you're a fan of the arts, you're familiar with the Arts Council of Moore County. That means you likely know Chris Dunn and Ray Owen, a dynamic duo who are passionate about the arts and their place in the culture of Moore County.

The Arts Council is the center of a thriving creative district, with arts and cultural industries generating $13.2 million in local economic activity annually.

The Campbell House, home to the Arts Council, is one of the region’s most significant landmarks, owing its existence to the Boyd family. Once part of the Weymouth estate, the natural setting is among the nation’s important historic landscapes, encompassing the world’s oldest longleaf pines. For more than 100 years, Campbell House has been a beacon of culture, informing, influencing, and enhancing civic life. A gift to the Arts Council is the ultimate expression of faith in our goal of sustaining our community as a place resilient with the arts at its core.

In the latest Paradise in the Pines podcast, Dunn and Owen talk about the history of the arts in Moore County and the exciting and innovative things to come.
