Connecting Charlottesville for a 

BRIGHTER
TOMORROW

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.

WE BELIEVE IN

COMMUNITY

Gathering together is at the heart of everything we do. For us, community is interactive, participatory, and collaborative. We start with the invitation, let’s tell our stories and showcase the best about our hometown.

WE BELIEVE IN

HAVING FUN

Building community can be hard work. But one way to get us beyond our differences is the ability to enjoy each other as friends and neighbors. Here’s to laying the groundwork for a stronger community. Here’s to having fun!
