Old Town Cornelius has long been used to describe the parts of town east of I-77– original homes, buildings, and long-standing small businesses maintaining pockets of charm and tradition amid rapid town-wide growth and development. With the addition of the Antiquity neighborhood, along with new businesses and public spaces, Old Town is growing in size and in scope, and OTC is helping to shape it.
OTC is more than a committed few working to support and expand the local arts and culture scene in Old Town. OTC is energy. OTC is events. OTC is an arts-promotion machine. OTC is an online community as well as a geographic one. OTC is momentum. OTC is a movement. And we want you to join us.
A Rising Tide
In addition to facilitating the planning and execution of most of the arts and culture-based events in Old Town, OTC supports local artists and arts leaders by telling their stories and spotlighting them at events. The OTC team aims to cultivate and grow the already thriving cultural heart of Old Town, and to make it THE destination for arts and culture in the region. A thriving arts scene supports its artists, inspires its residents, and supports all local businesses, as it creates more opportunities for people to come here and come together.
