Sensoria CPCC app for iPhone and iPad

Sensoria began in 1993 when CPCC launched its original Spring Literary Festival. Founded by Irene Blair Honeycutt, the literary festival has for twenty years both celebrated local and regional talent and brought to CPCC internationally-renowned and prize-winning writers, including Yusef Komunyakaa, Li-Young Lee, Natasha Trethewey, and Ron Rash. This tradition continues. In 2006, the Spring Literary Festival was renamed Sensoria to reflect its expansion outward from literature into the wide variety of arts and cultural events now offered.



Each year, more than 15,000 people attend some of the best presentations in literature, music, visual arts, history, culture (and food!) around the Charlotte region while learning more about CPCC’s outstanding programs. Past participants have included Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist John H. White, U.S. Poet Laureate Kay Ryan, Author Ron Rash, Joffrey School of Ballet, Carolina Voices, the Jewish Film Festival, Tosco Music Party and many more.



So mark your calendars and make plans to join us this year for one of the more than 80 events we’ve scheduled.



Attend Sensoria and let us heighten your senses during what is becoming one of Charlotte’s finest celebrations of the arts.
