For over 25 years, McColl Center has carried that story forward, transforming these historic walls into a place where artists create, experiment, and connect with the Charlotte community. This November, we’re kicking off a year-long celebration of this building’s past, present, and future. The Centennial Celebration begins with a special Centennial Open House + Patron Party, bringing our community together to celebrate the building at the heart of McColl Center. Explore McColl Center from top to bottom with open artist studios, art in progress, hands-on experiences, music, food, and moments that connect the building’s history with the artists shaping what happens here today. The celebration continues throughout the year, with the Benefit Art Auction on February 20, 2027, and our Spring Patron Party on May 22, 2027. Together, we’ll honor the history held within these walls, experience what’s happening here now, and imagine what’s possible in the next 100 years. Come for an hour. Stay for the afternoon. Join us throughout the year as we celebrate a century of this remarkable building, and the people, like you, who continue to bring it to life.  *Edwin Gil: The Heart Series* Charlotte-based artist Edwin Gil* returns to his artistic roots with The Heart Series -* a deeply personal body of…
