Local Artists Talk About Their Work at Spirit Square in Charlotte, NC
In conjunction with What's New 2 at McColl Center for Visual Art's Spirit Square Galleries, at 345 North College Street, in Uptown Charlotte, NC, three artists will participate in a public forum to discuss their work on May 22 at 7pm. Paula Smith, Marek Ranis, and Roy Strassberg will discuss their work in the exhibition and answer questions from the public. Paula Smith and Marek Ranis have created installations in the Knight Gallery and Roy Strassberg's four ceramic sculptures are sited in the McMillan Gallery. Strassberg's pieces are part of a series that addresses the Holocaust; Smith's Queen of Cups is an exploration of being female in contemporary society; and Ranis examines the current war and the United State's relationship with Afghanistan.
McColl Center will host another public forum on Wed., June 12, from 7-9pm. What's New 2 is a three-dimensional show that runs through June 30 and is the second in a series designed to showcase the work of artists living in and around Charlotte and ranging from Asheville to Charleston. Admission is free. McColl Center for Visual Art's Spirit Square Galleries is open Tue.- Sat., 11am-4pm and Sun., 1-4pm.
The exhibition is partially supported by the North Carolina Blumenthal Performing Arts Center, the Arts and Science Council, and private and public funders supporting McColl Center for Visual Art.
McColl Center for Visual Art is a progressive, not-for-profit organization committed to enhancing and promoting the visual arts in Mecklenburg County and building the Charlotte Region into a vital visual arts center.
