The Charlotte Arts and Culture Plan
Now is the time to get involved with Arts and Culture in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area!
The City of Charlotte is currently developing plans to help sustain and grow arts and culture in our communities. As part of their research and development, the cultural planning team is hosting various events, August 23-25, as a way to stimulate conversations with constituents in Charlotte-Mecklenburg and help formulate a vision that will be used in the creation of policies, funding strategies and actionable items to benefit arts and culture in our communities.
The best part — these events are open to the public! Whether you are a supporter of the Ballet or just a general arts lover, these events are the perfect opportunity to let your voice be heard and let The City of Charlotte know where you think efforts should be focused.
As an arts organization bringing high-quality dance to Charlotte and the surrounding areas, we are proud to share these upcoming events with you all and hope you’ll consider attending one or multiple events!
