Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts & Culture

The Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts & Culture is a contemporary art museum and cultural venue located in Charlotte's Uptown, named after the city's first African American mayor. Opened in 2009, the centre features a striking glass façade and houses collections celebrating African American contributions to art, history, and culture through rotating exhibits, performances, and educational programs. Allocate a couple of hours to explore its galleries, which often include works by both historical and contemporary artists. The centre is part of a broader cultural district, close to the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art and the Knight Theater, making for a fulfilling cultural day out. Look out for special events that can enhance your experience.
