About Culture and Collabs

Art & Soul is produced by curator Kenard Karter of Culture and Collabs. Culture and Collabs (short for Culture and Collaborations), is a content and communications initiative that Kenard started in Cincinnati, Ohio during the riots surrounding the murder of George Floyd by a Minnesota police officer. Kenard brings 20 years of corporate media and agency marketing experience in roles of on-air talent, program director, music director and business development manager. In 2025, Kenard was further compelled to return to his hometown of Chicago to begin telling meaningful and authentic cultural stories through collaborations that educate and serve as a promotional vehicle for individuals, causes, artists and brands doing purposeful work.
