Survey for Visual and Performing Arts Artists / Groups

Survey for Visual and Performing Arts Artists / Groups
Imagine a place where artists thrive, creativity flourishes, and the community unites through the power of the arts. Charlotte Center for the Arts is building an accessible and affordable hub in South Charlotte, designed to break down barriers for performers and visual artists.

With dedicated spaces for rehearsals, performances, exhibitions, and education, we are fostering a cultural movement that ensures every artist has a stage and every patron has a seat.

We want to know what YOU, the artist or arts/culture group, need when it comes to performance, rehearsal, and exhibit space in Charlotte. Thank you in advance for your candid feedback. We plan to use the data (with names removed) in our discussions with developers and City officials to help justify the need. It is only through opinions like yours that we can provide more performing and visual arts opportunities in Charlotte.
