Our yearbook continues to be our most important communication with visitors, members, partners and funders.
Your ad helps make that possible. Thank you!

Now with two locations, our distribution reaches more visitors and serves an even more important role in telling the story of our Museum, sharing the work we do (seen and unseen) and celebrating the spirit of our community that strengthens our organization every day! As you know, this is more than an event publication, but a year-round gift to all who visit the Museum and 806, our marketing piece for tour groups coming to the county, and as an outreach, these publications are distributed at all events, conferences and meetings we attend.

AND – our yearbook is being used more and more ONLINE as part of our website and included as a link to many of our promotional efforts. View last year’s at: CoreSound.com/23-24yearbook

And this year we are going FULL COLOR!

This publication, beyond being our more important promotional project, also serves as our report to members, sponsors and funders. Our programs and projects have become so strong, so exciting and so critical to the continued expansion of our education and outreach work, that we have decided to give this keepsake document the attention it deserves.

• We want readers to see the smiling faces of all the students who are part of Core Sound's educational programs from Shell Point to Cape Lookout!

• Our growing teacher programs, reaching out across the state, can only be captured with the bright blue waters of Barden’s Inlet shining in the images of those wonderful days with educators.

• We are eager to share all the beautiful artwork on display here - from carvings to quilts - it life-like images from our exhibitions.

• And we want our advertisers to have this same opportunity, to showcase their business with all its colorful graphics and photos.

We are just going to do it! Full-color here we come! The time is right... 2025 will be one of Core Sound’s most consequential years and we are preparing to tell our story in new ways to new audiences! Thank you for helping us do just that!

If you are a repeat advertiser – thank you. We hope you will continue to support this publication by being an advertiser for this important documentation of our community’s – and our museum’s – continued recovery, from the storm, the pandemic…

If you are a NEW advertiser – welcome and thank you!

And to all of you, thank you for supporting our ongoing determination to keep sharing and celebrating Down East every day of the year is so many growing ways!

For All Down East,
