About this Event

What does it truly take to build a creative career that leaves a lasting impact?

Join us for Black Men in Art, a free community artist talk celebrating creativity, entrepreneurship, and the power of storytelling through art.

Hear from two accomplished Black artists based in Charlotte, North Carolina, as they share their personal journeys, creative processes, business experiences, and the lessons they’ve learned while building meaningful careers in the arts. Whether you’re an aspiring artist, entrepreneur, creative, or community supporter, this conversation is designed to inspire, educate, and encourage you to pursue your vision with confidence.

This event is proudly sponsored by the CLT Creative Growth Grant and the ASC Venue Access Grant, making this experience free and open to the public.

Hosted and organized by Curvaceous Behavior Nonprofit, under the leadership of Founder and Executive Director Geornee Jefferies, this gathering is more than a conversation—it’s an opportunity to connect with Charlotte’s creative community.

Come early to explore and support local vendors, network with fellow creatives, and experience an afternoon filled with inspiration, authentic conversations, and community.
