2026 Delta Arts Center Juried Invitational Exhibition

The Delta Arts Center has long been dedicated to its mission of enriching the community through the promotion and preservation of the arts and humanities. As a cornerstone for cultural expression in North Carolina, we are particularly proud of our history of providing a platform for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) artists to showcase their voices and visions.
