Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture launched a new advisory board on Saturday, May 19, 2018. The group consists of thirteen young entrepreneurs and professionals who will lead efforts to attract millennial patrons to support the Gantt Center and African-American arts and culture. Led by Hands Law attorney Charles Hands and Marcus Howard of the local consulting firm Engage Millennials, the inaugural meeting provided participants with an in-depth history of the Gantt Center's legacy, followed by training on the role of the advisory board.
The Millennial Advisory Board will work closely with Gantt Center leadership to build community among Charlotte's millennial demographic and develop messaging that resonates with them.
