Our Mission
Local ARTbeat is more than just an app – it's a movement to celebrate and preserve the vibrant artistic heritage of Eastern North Carolina. We believe that every mural tells a story, every sculpture holds history, and every creative space deserves recognition.
Through our community-built platform, we're creating the most comprehensive digital map of public art in the region, making it easier for residents and visitors to discover, appreciate, and support local creativity.
"Every mile we drive adds another story to the map of Eastern NC."
