Artist-in-Residence at McColl Center for Visual Art

The Center accepts applications from emerging, mid-career and senior level artists

Fall residency dates run from September to November, and Winter dates are from January to March. Artists selected will be notified approximately one year prior to their residency.  The selected artists will be given $2,000 for materials and awarded a stipend of $3,300

McColl Center for Visual Art is located in Uptown Charlotte, a very short walk from the heart of
the city. Charlotte is a growing, vibrant city coming into its own. A new cultural campus is open on the south end of Tryon, approximately 1 mile from the Center and includes the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, The Mint Museum, and the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture (formerly the Afro-American Cultural Center). As an urban artist-in- residence program, McColl Center for Visual Art actively participates in and contributes to the energy and vibrancy of the city. The community is welcome to visit the Center and artist/public interactions are encouraged. Goals of the Center include demystifying the creative process - which makes contemporary art more accessible and raises the perception of the value of artists to society. Through interaction with artists in their studios, the Center provides a portal from which the non-artist can gain insight into the creative process.

STUDIO TIME
It is an expectation for Artist-in-Residence to be working in their studios during business hours
Monday to Friday. The Center is open to the public Thursday and Fridays 2:00 – 7:00 pm and
Saturdays 11:00 am – 6:00 pm. These times are great opportunities for the public to get to
know you and they may have an interest in purchasing your artwork.

EXHIBITIONS
Artists-in-Residence participate in 1-2 exhibitions during their residency sessions.
