    “While South End gets more culturally homogenous by the year, one organization in the neighborhood is fighting for equity, diversity and social consciousness in the arts community that’s historically found a home there. Founded by K. Liles, SouthEnd ARTS is a nonprofit whose mission is ‘creating equity art exhibition space, building cultural bridges, empowering artists and their communities in South End.’
    Each month, in the Charlotte Trolley building on Camden Road, the organization holds a two-night juried art exhibition featuring underrepresented artists. A speaker is paired with these exhibits to create the Social Justice Speaker Series, which invites the community to engage in a conversation around the theme of the exhibit. For example, September’s “Clearing the Air” addressed air pollution in the Historic West End and featured Charlotte City Council member Dimple Ajmera as speaker.
    Behind the scenes, SouthEnd ARTs works with artists to help them professionalize their portfolios to prepare for a world that expects corporate-style presentations for funding consideration.”

    FOR ARTISTS…ABOUT ARTISTS…BY ARTISTS

    SouthEnd ARTS ….  Making history by creating monthly equity art exhibition space in South End.  
    SouthEnd ARTS, aka SEA, is expanding programming and outreach locations because of the immense needs of underinvested artists to show and sell their work.
    SEA considers Charlotte‘s artists a vulnerable demographic, mostly disregarded when the community assesses the impact of Charlotte’s lack of upward mobility. The mission of SouthEnd ARTS is to fill that need by creating equity exhibition opportunities, buildIng cultural bridges and empowerIng artists and their communities.
    SouthEnd ARTS believes in providing economic opportunity by paying our musicians, speakers, performance artists, BFA & MFA invited jurors and 4 prize-winning artists.
