Celebrating Charlotte Arts… Virtually

Published April 17, 2020 by Jayne Butler

Today, I should be in Charlotte enjoying the 5th annual BOOM festival, an artist-led presentation of contemporary visual and performing arts, which is supported by Knight Foundation. The 2020 festival was originally scheduled for this weekend, April 17 – 19 and like many events across the country, it’s been postponed until further notice as a result of COVID-19. So, instead of celebrating Charlotte’s arts scene in Plaza Midwood, I’m at home, which I expect is where you are, too.

Being home won’t stop us from celebrating, because now, more than ever, our artists and our communities need to be recognized, celebrated and supported. BOOM will be sharing virtual programming from this year’s roster of artists starting at 4:00 pm (EST) tomorrow, Saturday, 4/18. Be sure to check out BOOM’s website for details, or follow them on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
