### ACT:NOW – Act I
 Saturday, July 11 at 4pm

Artists know how to externalize many of the emotions that we are all feeling on the inside. **BOOM Charlotte**, in partnership with **BLKMRKTCLT**, **Charlotte Is Creative** and **The Roll Up CLT**, asked Charlotte’s creative community to respond to the racial inequality crisis in our nation and express their emotions in any way they see fit.⁣ Two weeks ago the call for artists was made.

They were overwhelmed with submissions. A one-night event quickly turned into a three-act series and [**ACT:NOW**](https://boomcharlotte.org/act-now-series-2020/) was born. This three-part virtual event will highlight visual art, literary art, poetry, film, dance, and music. All performances will be held at 4pm on **[YouTube Live](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJlVEoMXPHwOg8hR6wuKYlg?view_as=subscriber)**.

Tune in for the following performances:

- ACT II – July 18th at 4pm
- ACT III – July 25th at 4pm
