Art thrives when artists do.

Nestled in the heart of Uptown Charlotte, McColl Center is an internationally recognized artist's residency and contemporary art space housed in a striking 30,000‑square‑foot Gothic Revival building. Once a historic church and now 25 years into its next chapter, McColl Center continues to be a place where art is created, and history evolves through the work of contemporary artists.

This exciting season at McColl Center continues with the arrivals of Hopeton St.Clair Hibbert and Nancy Bowen in October.
