The EOTA Group, founded by Dane Chilton, is a local, independent Arts and Culture Organization operating out of the Charlotte / Davidson Area. The Evening of the Arts seeks to promote arts within the community and beyond, with an annual showcase of awards and talent. The first broadcast aired on March 4, 2021, where it reached over 3,200 people. The Evening of the Arts is projected to expand to a larger viewer-base, and we look forward to watching this organization grow. The arts play a vital role in our everyday lives, and assuring that we continue to support, foster, and encourage students to participate and immerse themselves within the arts is essential.
