Who is Behind This?

ArtintheQC is an art advocacy organization founded by Charlotte entrepreneur Alexandra Smith. Alexandra previously founded Squash Blossom Social in 2020 to serve those in the visual arts as a marketer, coach, and consultant. Since then, she has worked with dozens of artists and art organizations in the Charlotte area, including the McColl Center and Blumenthal Performing Arts Center. She believes there is tremendous potential for the Queen City to become an arts destination.

What Sets Us Apart

Most artists don't have the time, energy, or marketing team to submit to local event calendars. For that same reason, they typically don't promote events beyond their own social sphere. 

 We spend hours each week curating the visual art events list for you so no one misses out. Charlotte artists deserve comprehensive event coverage!

Vision

Every creative spark contributes to a more colorful and dynamic community in the Queen City. We are here to highlight the diversity of Charlotte's visual art scene and make sure the city is known for artistic excellence.

Art and artists should be boldly celebrated. Guided by a commitment to art advocacy and community, we seek to reshape perceptions, challenge boring stereotypes, and reveal the vibrant creativity that defines us.
