The world watched this summer as a gushing oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico destroyed habitats, ruined livelihoods, and wasted precious natural resources. Now more than ever, conserving any and all materials made available to us is becoming an emphasis on our daily lives that we cannot ignore. In the spirit of innovation and conservation, UNC Charlotte’s School of Architecture and McColl Center for Visual Art have teamed up to install a permanent canopy made of recycled industrial bi-products.

The Contemporaries are proud to present an art excursion to the Weatherspoon Art Museum in Greensboro, NC on Saturday, July 31 for a private showing of "Big Shots: Andy Warhol Polaroids." SPACE IS STILL AVAILABLE!

The Environmental Artist-in-Residence program is a three month residency program in urban Charlotte, NC that encourages artists to have beneficial impacts on the natural systems in the urban environment through the creation of environmental art installations that combine art, science, community, and education.

Deadline to Apply: Monday, August 9, 2010. Residency Period: September 7 to November 22, 2010.
