The Graham Johnson Cultrual Arts Endowment believes that by supporting the arts in our community we promote a creative economy and add to the quaility of life to our residents. People want to live in a community with culture, with a high quality of life. Wake Forest has a rich background of history, education, and tradition and continuing to develop the arts in our community will only make us stronger and enhance the lives of those who live work and play here.

The GJCAE supports arts within the greater Wake Forest community. Programs supported include the placement of a J. Seward Johnson sculpture, "Yum Yum" (pictured at left) in historic downtown Wake Forest. Co-sponsoring entertainment for the Wake Forest Community Christmas Dinner and sponsoring arts programs for local children at the Wake Forest Boys & Girls Club including variety arts and pottery.
