McColl Center
Description

The McColl Center's internationally acclaimed Artist-in-Residence program serves as a catalyst for growth for emerging and mid-career artists. McColl Center hosts three residency terms per year—fall, winter/spring, and summer, for four artists per term. An artist residency at McColl Center is a moment to think big, take risks in the creative process, and explore ideas within the context of Charlotte.

Artists-in-residence receive private housing adjacent to McColl Center, a large-scale private studio in our historic building in Uptown Charlotte, curatorial guidance, marketing and PR support, and a generous stipend. While in residency, our artists have the freedom to fully focus on artistic research, exploration, and creation while also engaging with McColl Center’s Igniters community and the local creative sector.

Current open call: McColl Center seeks applications for Winter-Spring 2025 artists-in-residence, for which the deadline is 1 June 2024.

Outcome

Varies by artist-in-residence.

Studio Information

In addition to a private studio, all Artists-in-Residence can use the various labs and equipment available throughout the building. The McColl Center is equipped with a Woodshop, Ceramic Lab, Metal Lab, Media Lab, Printmaking Lab, and a 3D Printing and Laser Cutting Lab along with various tools.

Accommodation Information

Private housing on campus (individual apartment/cabin/house).

Location

McColl Center is located in the former Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church in Uptown Charlotte, North Carolina.
