performARTS: Charlotte Street Foundation

We profile The Charlotte Street Foundation as part of our performARTS series. The Charlotte Street Foundation plays in important role in cultivating an environment in the urban core of Kansas City in which artists and art can thrive.

This week, in conjunction with KC Studio Magazine, our performARTS Series takes a look at the Charlotte Street Foundation. Named after a house near UMKC where poets, painters and music makers would gather to eat, drink and talk shop, Charlotte Street celebrates turning 15 this year. Randy Mason has more about this unique operation, which through cash awards and other forms of assistance helps the region’s artists do more of what they do best.
