McColl Center celebrates creativity and builds community through art collecting. The Contemporaries isn’t just a collecting group, it’s an immersive experience where members engage with contemporary art, connect with professional artists, and strengthen their ties to Charlotte’s cultural landscape. Together, we share curated experiences, enjoy commissioned artworks, and have fun. Whether you’re an experienced collector or new to the world of art, The Contemporaries offers a welcoming space to discover, connect, and be inspired.

Join us May 8th to learn about our first year. We will also reveal 2025 Artists.
