The City of Charlotte is creating the Charlotte Arts and Culture Plan to sustain and grow the creative sector in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, and we need to hear from YOU!

This Sector Workshop for Visual Artists ((Painting, Drawing, Printmaking, Sculpture, Ceramics, Photography, Video, Filmmaking, Design, Crafts and Architecture, and Land Design/Placemaking and Muralists) will be hosted at the Charlotte Art League, a 501 (c)3 non-profit visual arts organization that offers a unique mix of open working studios, classes, and community outreach programs along with a public gallery located at 4237 Raleigh Street Charlotte, NC 28213. Attendees will help us shape the future of arts and culture by sharing perspectives, priorities and experiences. All are welcome.

We want to hear from artists and Charlotte-Mecklenburg residents of all ages and backgrounds. You will hear from City of Charlotte leadership, the consultant team from Lord Cultural Resources, and have the opportunity to make your voice heard. We hope you can join us!
