What We Do.
A PASSION FOR MUSIC, CULTURE, AND ACCESSIBILITY
Who are we? We are a collective of music and visual art professionals, working with businesses, non-profit organizations, community leaders, and local music lovers, to create events that celebrate the things that connect us all.
How do we do it? We create events that highlight the immense diversity in our communities by working with local, regional, national, and international artists. By working with community partners and sponsors, we make our programs accessible to everyone, because music is for everybody.
What do we do? Oak City Music Collective connects local communities with professionally delivered, high quality, carefully curated concerts and festivals. Our consulting and cultural competence programs support municipalities, organizations, and artists in North Carolina and beyond.
“(the) bookings that Oak City Music Collective does are all very intentional, with the goal of further diversifying the local music scene”
