The North Carolina State Art Society held its annual meeting in Raleigh with a full day of sessions and a climax of announcing winners in the 1958 North Carolina annual artists competition. Gov. Hodges presided at lunch as Dr. John Shirley of North Carolina State College spoke on Russian museums and art. Shirley recently returned from a five week tour of the Soviet Union. The Roanoke Island Historical Association and other cultural groups filled Culture Week, with Lt. Gov. Luther Earnhardt stressing arts as an economic plus for attracting new industries. Hunter Johnson, a Tar Heel composer, had his trio premiered, and his $1,500 grant for distinguished service to American music was noted. The Roanoke Island Association plans a $15,000 fundraiser to cover a $20,000 deficit for next season’s Lost Colony drama, which will still qualify for $10,000 in state funds.
