Our mission is to encourage & assist current & next gen artists to work towards a sustainable living in the arts through education & exposure to a diverse range of art mediums. Accessibility is an essential component as when an individual feels capable, a world of opportunity blooms. We do this via events with educational & inspirational purpose, with a varied group of artists & wellness practitioners facilitating. As our name states we are a collaborative effort bringing artists from all realms together including but not limited to painters, mural artists, sketch artists, performing artists (musical & otherwise), digital artists, dancers, spoken word artists, yogis, & more. Currently we are raising money for the second annual CLT Edge Fest on the Event Lawn of Charlotte Art League Charlotte, NC on July 15th, 2023.
What We Need
To make this a successful event we need community funding. If you donate to this campaign, this is how your dollars will be spent:
We provide each artist of all types, funds granted for their time & energy
We provide all the paint, canvases, materials, etc. for the artists & festival participants to create
We provide funds granted for sound & light technicians.
Most importantly the events are free for participants so as to increase accessibility to the arts
In addition, the production costs to pull this off add up quickly: runners, transportation, documentation (i.e. photographers & videographers) signage, insurance, events, security, etc.
The only area where your dollars don't go is to the leadership of Charlotte Street Art Collaborative. We are a 501(c)3 Non-Profit driven completely by a small group of community volunteers.
The Impact
This meeting of the minds from a diverse group of artists & entertainers will bloom into an incubator for other types of events, increase accessibility for arts education, & as beautiful byproduct be an avenue for healing. All this assisting artists to attain & maintain a sustainable living in the arts.
