BFT2025 Savethedate

Wednesday, May 14, 2025, 8 - 9 AM

 Come enjoy a delicious breakfast with coffee,
watch performers of all ages take the stage,
and listen as local people share the
impact of the arts on their lives.

It’s a fast-paced feelgood hour designed to get you in,
entertained, and off on your way
with a full heart and belly.

Since 2002, Breakfast for the Arts has been one of the Cabarrus Arts Council’s premier fundraisers, dedicated to championing local artists with your generous support.

This year, we're thrilled to offer you an opportunity to own a piece of this artistic legacy while supporting local artists.

We are featuring three remarkable local artists—Kat Cornelius, Andrea Cunningham, and Janet Borchardt—each crafting 30 unique artworks to serve as captivating centerpieces for over 80 tables. As a special guest, you can be among the first to claim one of these original, one-of-a-kind creations. Priced at just $100 each, or bundled at $275 for a trio, these pieces will be unveiled as a delightful mystery at the event, adding an element of surprise to your acquisition.
