FFTC Connects: The Future of Arts in Our Community

Join fellow fundholders and partners of Foundation For The Carolinas for a dynamic conversation exploring how the arts shape our region — and how they intersect with broader community issues such as education, equity and economic development.

This quarter, FFTC Connects will explore the future of the arts in our community, with a focus on the challenges and opportunities facing both emerging and established arts nonprofits. Join us at the newly restored Carolina Theatre to hear from arts leaders who are expanding access, fostering creative expression, and addressing community needs through education, cultural engagement, and innovative programming.

Welcome: Adam Santalla Pierce, President, Arts & Science Council 

Panelists:
Adam Burke, Artistic Director, Children's Theatre of Charlotte
Alexander Piñeres, Executive Director, Raíces Latino Arts
Rory Sheriff, Founding Artistic Director, Brand New Sheriff Productions
Brit Swider, Executive Director, We Rock Charlotte

Moderator: Cathy Bessant, CEO, Foundation For The Carolinas
