Art Around Town

 

Travel through a city filled with art via a chartered luxury motor coach. Wonder at the beauty of some of our most breathtaking gardens...in addition, take a superb look at some of the “brightest jewels” in Charlotte’s cultural crown! You will be escorted by one of Charlotte Arrangements’ finest tour escorts. The tour may include:

  • Ben Long’s Frescoes: Ben Long, a North Carolina native and world renowned painter, perfected this art form. Charlotte is proud to be the home to several of his works.

  • Uptown Buildings: Some of the most eclectic art can be found among the collection of buildings that make up the Charlotte skyline. Each building has a collection of public art as well as a park-like area outside its main doors. The display of free art, waterfalls and fountains and the sound of birds singing in the trees make visitors feel welcomed even on the most hectic of business days

  • Mint Museum of Art: Yesterday, the first branch of the US Mint; today, the home to American, European, and African art, Victorian silver and a collection of 3,000 years of ceramics.

  • Mint Museum of Craft + Design: Experience the evolution of crafts as it relates to the disciplines of our time. The museum’s permanent collection is a series of pieces tracing the Crafts Movement in the 19th century and its relationship with today’s decorative arts and designs. A stunning work by world-famous glass sculptor Dale Chihuly graces the ceiling of the museum’s lobby

  • Performing Arts Center and Main Public Library: The tour will take you by the gorgeous $60 million state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center. You will also have the opportunity to view the library’s famous mural “Before Dawn” by nationally noted collage artist and native son Romare Bearden.
  • Spirit Square: Visit the galleries in Spirit Square, formally Charlotte’s First Baptist Church, which is now a multi-arts complex housing innovative theater, exhibits, visiting performers, classes, and studios. Put our resources to work on your behalf.
