Artist-in-Residence, Daniel McCormick has been working on a public art installation in the “unlikely site” of Freedom Park. Part of a collaboration with Catawba Lands Conservancy and Carolina Thread Trail, Mecklenburg County Government Park and Recreation Department, Charlotte Nature Museum, Queens University of Charlotte and many other groups and organizations helping with the project, McCormick is creating a site-specific sculpture installation in the park.

One of my favorite things about working at McColl Center for Visual Art is being able to see the progress our resident artists make during their term. I have seen everything from ceramicists turning into printmakers, jewelers transiting into public art and studios transforming from their basic function into whimsical installations. This residency period is no different, the artists have yet again captivated my interest in their creative process.

As an extension of its current exhibition program, the Center is actively seeking proposals from visual or interdisciplinary artists, curators, architects and designers for exhibitions in one of our main galleries, Gallery 115. We're looking for something new, something unique, something outside the box - maybe even something that redefines the box! Proposals are due by December 15, 2009.
