Charlotte Is Creative co-founders, Tim Miner and Matt Olin, sat down with SouthPark Magazine to discuss a few of their favorite things about the Queen City including moonwalkers, wise historians, neighborhood hardware stores, and orange traffic barrels. (Okay, maybe that last one is on their LEAST favorite list.) Use the link in our bio to read more! 📸 = @logancyrus

Like all of us, Armando Bellmas, vice president of marketing and operation at the McColl Center for Art + Innovation, is adjusting to stay-at-home life. The Center is on top of it already, offering a selection of online workshops, but how is he doing?⁣
⁣
Well, it sounds like he’s killing it. Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, Armando had already created “What do I listen to today?” a daily email that recommends one song or work of music — an intentionally eclectic selection — he suggests his friends check out. It’s a starting point for a day’s musical adventure or just a break from the normal stuff of life.⁣
⁣
What else does he recommend to stave off cabin fever? We asked him for some “Housebound Hits” suggestions to help pass the time. Link in bio!

Word on the street is that with TV and feature film productions on indefinite hiatus, the suits in Tinsel Town are looking to tweak some old Hollywood Hits to fit in with the new normal. ⁣
⁣
First up is "Panic Zoom" with Jodie Foster about the secret fears we harbor as the all-seeing camera eye is on us.⁣
⁣
Next up is the Merchant-Ivory classic, "Zoom with a View" about what happens when we all learn what our co-workers' guest bedrooms and dining rooms look like. ADJUST THAT CROOKED ROOMS-TO-GO PAINTING BEHIND YOU! I'M LOSING MY MIND!!!

Good morning, everyone. Let’s get up and create.

Friends, we may be apart, but that separation is something that we all share. Let’s take this time of physical isolation to care for one another & focus on the things that united us.
