NFocus is a monthly magazine that covers philanthropy and the arts in Charlotte. With innovative photography, event coverage, feature writing, and monthly columns NFocus brings you an insider’s view of what Charlotte’s most progressive and charitable crowd is doing. Each month we cover the city’s can’t-miss philanthropic events—the black-tie galas, the fashion-forward balls, the who’s-who luncheons, and the foodie-scene feasts. Our event coverage includes photos of the guests and a detailed account of the party—where it was, how it was decorated, what charities benefitted, what sponsors donated, who was there, how they were dressed, why the event is important to our city, and what the buzz was all about. Our cinematic covers and feature spreads profile the city’s leading philanthropists, bringing you stunning photos of CEOs, politicians, and civic leaders like you’ve never seen them before. Our in-depth feature writing then gives you the private story behind these very public faces. We also bring you a broad spectrum of columns by the Charlotte’s best writers and most passionate aficionados: NFocus is a feast for the eyes, the intellect, and the spirit. Our mission is to tell inspiring stories with substance and style! Amanda Pagliarini, Editor 1000 NC Music Factory Blvd., Ste. C2 Charlotte, NC 28206Charlotte

Join the Nashville N crowd. Read Nfocus. Nfocus reflects Nashville’s culture, its people and their generosity—both up and comers and long-time blue bloods, their passions and quirks. Nfocus readers are players, the people who make things happen in Nashville. Nfocus debuted in November of 1993, a brainchild of founding editor and native Nashvillian, the late Herbert Fox. Herbert became a beloved figure on the social scene—his seventh career, after rehabbing a chateau in southern France (“I figured I could write anywhere”), working in New York’s fashion industry and serving as head writer for the long-running television show “Hee Haw.” His monthly column was often the first page readers turned to. Now in its 20th year on the Nashville social scene, Nfocus has a nose for fine things, fun and philanthropy. The community’s leading citizens were its founding shareholders, and Nfocus has an insider’s view of the city’s finest homes and most charming people. Miss the party? Nfocus will tell you exactly what it was like to be there—not just soup to nuts (anybody can read a menu), but what was the buzz and what were they wearing. Nashville’s must-read magazine for natives and newcomers alike, Nfocus includes features no other publication can duplicate like Match Game (fit the wit with the words), a wine column by millionaire businessman and internationally recognized oenophile Tom Black and indelible party coverage with can’t-miss photography (no grip-and-grin shots here). Plus, you’ll find columns from some of Nashville’s finest writers on topics from art and real estate to food and humor. We hope you enjoy the read and it provides you with an intimate look at the inner workings of Nashville society. Cheers! Sinclair KellyNashville
