From now through May 31, 2021, I invite you join the McColl Center and support Ignite Momentum as we raise the last $150,000 towards the Momentum One Million Dollar Challenge. Gifts of all sizes support McColl Center’s innovative growth; energized by an engaged community of contemporary artists, arts advocates, cultural and corporate partners, and an enthusiastic and curious public.

So what does that mean in real life? 

Your dollars will allow local artists to rent studio space at a steeply subsidized rate for a year. In addition to a place to work, they will have access to equipment to expand their practice, other artists to exchange ideas, and professional development opportunities.

Your support can help cover tuition costs for young people interested in attending art-based camps and master classes, designed to build the next generation of creative professionals.

Contributions will help support  artists take chances in their practice that often lead to national and international recognition, putting Charlotte repeatedly on the map when it comes to contemporary art. 

This is a real opportunity to support artists. PLEASE GIVE.

Your gift today will be matched dollar for dollar. $50 turns into $100, $250 into $500, $1,000 into $2,000. Your donation will directly support the countless artists that look to McColl Center for partnership in developing and propelling their creative practices and careers.
