The 11th edition of Charlotte Art Weekly is not only celebrating the amplifying creativity of the citizens but also the solar eclipse of the century, which was visible in the USA. If you have enjoyed the majestic view of the sky this week but were looking at the eclipse without proper precaution similar to President Donald Trump, make sure you get your eyes checked right away! To test your eyes at home just simply open up your nearest screen and log in to creativeyatra.com, if you aren’t able to read anything go and visit at your nearest optometrist immediately. But if you are fine with everything to go and visit these unusually enriching events happening within the cultural city of Charlotte.
The 11th CAW has borrowed inspiration from the American pianist and music composer Earl Wentz who is renowned for his conception of the American Composer Series within the cabaret genre and being a part of the touring team of Doraine and Ellis. Born in Charlotte, NC Wentz initiated his career as a pianist at the tender age of 12 and by 15 evolved as a recitalist, filmmaker, composer, arranger and teacher. He has guest appearances with famous singers like Nashville, Charleston, Glen Miller and has played at notable venues including the United Nations.
