The members of the Charlotte Art League invite the public to attend our free “CAL Call” meeting on the third Tuesday of every month from September to April.
CAL Calls offer opportunities for members and other artists to get to know each other and their supporters, to share ideas and insights, methods and techniques, and to find out what’s going on in Charlotte art.
The highlight of each Call is a program (lecture, demonstration, workshop) presented by a guest speaker (artist, educator, public figure) who is prominent and accomplished in the world of art. Past speakers have included Gastonia artist James Biggers (on his uncle, famed muralist John Biggers), renowned sculptor and Center of the Earth founder Paul Sires, and Dennis the Menace cartoonist Marcus Hamilton.
Each Call begins at 7:00 with light hors d’oeuvres and a self-guided tour of the current exhibit and member walls and studios, followed by a brief welcome, organizational update, announcements of upcoming events and the introduction of the speaker. Guests are welcome to remain after the program to socialize with the speaker, network and sell (or buy) art.
CAL Calls are sponsored by the Arts and Science Council as a Charlotte Art League service to the community. Plan to attend them all!
