2026 Charlotte Reciprocity Circles #1

Charlotte Reciprocity Circles (CRC) is a series of live, facilitated social capital exchange events produced by Charlotte Is Creative.

The concept is simple: after a short, inspirational performance by local artists, attendees will be seated in circles for a powerful social capital exchange process guided by trained facilitators.

Whether it’s a full-time gig or a part-time passion in music, design, art, performance, digital art, fashion, writing, inventing, etc., countless Charlotteans have creative, entrepreneurial or community projects just waiting to be unleashed. However, too often, those projects don’t succeed because of small barriers — a missing resource, an undiscovered collaborator, lack of local knowledge, a needed contact, etc. CRC is designed to unlock access to such resources and connections to help bring creative projects, initiatives and business ideas closer to reality.

Each person in a circle is there to share what they know with others while receiving support and inspiration in return. In a 90-minute session, this powerful opportunity will offer assistance in advancing other's projects and in advancing your own!

This event is part of our Creative Entrepreneurs Initiative, supported by Wells Fargo, LISC Charlotte, LPL Financial and Mecklenburg County with funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).
