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.
