CVNC is Getting a New Look!
We are so excited to get to share some big news with you! CVNC is rebranding!
CVNC has contracted Vitruvian Vector out of Winston-Salem, NC, to update the Cultural Voice of North Carolina’s brand and website. After announcing CVNC’s official name change on March 1, 2022, the leadership team – including staff, board, and writers on an internal branding committee – discussed some goals related to the look and feel of CVNC.org and its related branding. The main elements this team came back to were ease of use, streamlined infrastructure and back-end editing, and visual modernization. Much of these changes will happen behind the scenes in the next 6-8 weeks as the website is migrated to a newer host that will be easier to edit and customize while preserving the integrity of our archived articles and events. However, the branding changes are the first visible results of these efforts and the leadership team has been bursting to share the results!

THROUGH 5/14: Stephen Towns’ Mesmerizing Visual Stories of Shadowed History at Reynolda House Museum of American Art
The mesmerizing recent work of painter and textile artist Stephen Towns welcomes interaction and introspection at the Reynolda House Museum of American Art, the last stop of the Stephen Towns: Declaration & Resistance exhibition tour. This exhibition pulsates with power as it ponders the American dream and expands the historical narrative of African Americans who persevered through the enslavement, convict leasing, and other hardships that significantly contributed to the development of the American economy. Exploring the lives of African Americans from the late eighteenth century to the present day, Towns emphasizes their resistance and resilience in poignant multi-media paintings and exquisitely crafted story quilts.

Make CVNC a Part of your Year End Giving!
Dear Friends of the Arts,
Thank you for your continued support of the arts and your help furthering CVNC’s mission to preserve local arts advocacy, critique, and arts literacy through journalism. We’d like to tell you what CVNC has been up to over the last 12 months, so you can see the direct impact that your support makes, both for our organization and the ones we serve.
NAME CHANGE
CVNC, formerly the Classical Voice of North Carolina, has changed our name to the Cultural Voice of North Carolina. CVNC remains committed to covering the fine arts across the state, but this change reflects the desire to fully embrace all of the unique cultural arts experiences present in the state. Never fear – we will continue fully cover our historically loved classical art forms! But North Carolina has so much more to offer and is unique in having excellent representation of incredible artists and presenters across the artistic board, from opera to bluegrass, art exhibition to intersectional arts collective.
2022 COVERAGE BY ART FORM
This calendar year to date, CVNC has published over 300 articles that range in scope from news announcements, preview articles and presenter features, with over 200 event and media reviews. Our reviews of local events and media covered:
