About
Vision
To boldy celebrate the art and artists of Charlotte.
ArtintheQC is here to highlight the diversity of Charlotte's visual art scene and make sure the city is known for artistic excellence.
​
Guided by a commitment to art advocacy and community, we seek to reshape perceptions, challenge the "Charlotte is boring" stereotype, and showcase the heart and soul of the city.
Who is Behind This?
ArtintheQC is an art advocacy organization founded by Charlotte entrepreneur Alexandra Smith. Alexandra is also the owner of Squash Blossom Social, an agency founded in 2020 to serve those in the visual arts with marketing, coaching, and consulting. She has worked with dozens of artists and art organizations in the Charlotte area, including the McColl Center, the VAPA 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 are plugged into a vast artist network and donate hours each week to curate a visual art events calendar, so no one misses out.
