Coffee & Culture

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Coffee & Culture! This year’s event celebrated Wake County’s vibrant cultural community. Attendees enjoyed a continental breakfast while networking, experiencing the power of the arts, and recognizing our grant recipients and the elected officials who champion the arts in our community.

We were honored to present Capitol Broadcasting Company with the inaugural United Arts Champion Award, accepted by WRAL anchor Dan Haggarty, for their outstanding contributions to the arts. The event featured performances by the Enloe High School Jazz Ambassadors, a keynote speech from Freddie-Lee Heath, and live artmaking by visual artist Patrizia Ferreira, creating an inspiring and creative atmosphere.

Thank you for making this event a success, and we can’t wait to see you next year!

Stay tuned for more information.
