Charlotte’s arts scene continues to thrive, thanks to institutions that make creativity accessible and inspiring for everyone. At the heart of that movement stands the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art — a cultural landmark known for its stunning architecture, world-class collection, and inclusive approach to modern art. Since opening in 2010, the museum has become a hub for connection, conversation, and creative exploration for visitors from every walk of life.
Our guest today, Todd Smith, is the Executive Director of the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art. With decades of experience leading museums across the country, Todd is passionate about making modern art meaningful and relevant to today’s audiences. Under his leadership, the Bechtler continues to expand its community reach — through innovative programs like Wednesday Night Live, Jazz at the Bechtler, and Music & Museum — all of which invite visitors to experience art in new and unexpected ways.
