The City of Charlotte is conducting a series of community conversations to chart the future of arts and culture in the Queen City.

Working with Lord Cultural Resources, the Arts & Culture Advisory Board is developing a comprehensive plan to guide arts funding and development for the next 10 years. But, for this plan to be as inclusive and effective as possible, WE NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU!

– Where are arts & culture thriving here?
– What challenges face us?
– What opportunities exist?
– What space needs do we have?
– What do creatives need to build their careers?

SHARE YOUR OPINION WITH US ON OCT. 20!

To do our part to help the plan be as well-rounded and insightful as possible, Charlotte Is Creative is sponsoring a community conversation on Oct. 20 from 6 to 8 p.m. This conversation will take place at AC Hotels by Marriott in Ballantyne.
