In April, the Knight Foundation announced the creation of a new initiative, Celebrate Charlotte Arts, inspired by recent efforts like BOOM Charlotte and Goodyear Arts.

A unique program designed to bolster and accelerate the growth of the arts and its impact on the community in the Queen City, Celebrate Charlotte Arts allows creatives across a wide array of disciplines to apply for a grant of up to $25,000 from an available pool of $200,000 the Knight Foundation has reserved for this effort. Applications are due on June 7 and community information sessions about the effort are scheduled May 21-23.

To explore the origins of Celebrate Charlotte Arts, **Charles Thomas**, director of the Knight Foundation’s Charlotte office, and **Jayne Butler**, arts office for the Knight Foundation in Miami, spoke with **Tim Miner** and **Andy Goh** of The Biscuit Podcast about their expectations for the program and guidance on the types of projects they hope will apply.
