Known as "The Tarheel State," North Carolina welcomes art and design students to rural towns in the midst of the Appalachians and large, contemporary cities where 21st century pioneers are pushing at the limits of technological innovation. In Raleigh, the second-largest city in the state, the North Carolina Museum of Art houses one of the Southeast's largest permanent collections of public art.
Arts Innovation in North Carolina
If you're interested in the latest developments in technology, art, and design, you can explore the renowned area between Raleigh and Durham known as the Research Triangle Park. "The Triangle" is a vast complex of laboratories and institutes dedicated to cutting-edge developments in the fields of biotechnology and information technology.
