Charlotte Street Foundation on Uniquely Kansas City - KCPT

Kansas City Public Television (KCPT), featured the Charlotte Street Foundation (CSF) on it's quarterly televised arts magazine, providing a comprehensive outline of CSF's history and initiatives, including the Urban Culture Project and the CSF Awards to Visual Artists. Featured are interviews by Founder/Director David Hughes, Jr.; Associate Director Kate Hackman; and Visiting Critic/Curator for the Visual Art Awards, Gregory Volk of Virginia Commonwealth University.

Founded in 1997 as a fund of the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation and incorporated in 2004 as a 501c3 non-profit organization, Charlotte Street Foundation (CSF) supports and recognizes outstanding artists in Greater Kansas City; presents, promotes, enhances, and encourages the visual, performing, and interdisciplinary arts; and fosters economic development in the urban core of Kansas City, MO. In all endeavors, CSF places artists at the center of its mission and has built an infrastructure that depends on and reflects their involvement. As a result, CSF is an organization that continually evolves in response to artist input and in relation to the city's larger cultural ecosystem. The name of the Fund is derived from a long—standing group of artists who gather for food, fun and friendship in midtown Kansas City.
