Connecting Charlottesville for a 

BRIGHTER
TOMORROW

When we all come together,

what can we create? 

From our signature Festival each April in Charlottesville VA, to dozens of events throughout the year, we are storytellers about the future of our cities, starting with our own. Our mission is quite simple; connect communities around big ideas, envision the future together, and share solutions to make it happen. 

 

For the 12th Annual Tom Tom, we invite YOU to share your ideas about Charlottesville’s future—through conversations, art projects, workshops, and gatherings.
