About this adventure

McColl Center, located in a historic building north of Uptown, is a renowned artist residency and creative community in Charlotte. The center is housed in a century-old Neo-Gothic church building, converted to include open professional art studios for woodworking, ceramics, printmaking, and sculpture. An Open Art Studio Family Day is offered, where children can safely observe resident artists' pottery throwing and sculpting processes up close, and experience non-toxic natural clay modeling and printmaking at public creation tables. The center is equipped with a direct passenger elevator for easy stroller access between floors, and its high-ceilinged lobby offers a spacious and quiet environment. First-floor restrooms are equipped with standard parent-and-baby changing stations, making it a quality, unique destination to inspire children's art appreciation and hands-on interest.
