We’ve made ourselves at home since 1965, as Charlotte’s oldest nonprofit art gallery and organization. Since then, we’ve been paving a new landscape for the art scene—not your average ‘Poppies in the Park’ painting, but an authentic art experience for art lovers of all ages and backgrounds. CAL is a 501 (c)3 non-profit visual arts organization that relies on annual membership dues, studio rentals,

donations, and grants to sustain its activities. We offer a unique mix of open working studios, classes, and community outreach programs along with a public gallery.

Join us on Wednesday May 27 from 6–9 pm for the reception of May Featured Artist Michael Weddington!

As a Charlotte-based multimedia artist, Weddington creates sculptural and mixed-media works that explore social boundaries, transformation, narrative, and the intersection of art, construction, and public life through wood, metal, plaster, and found objects.

Michael has also been instrumental in helping bring the vision of the Bridges Project to fruition through fabrication, installation support, and creative collaboration.
