We’ve made ourselves at home since 1965, as Charlotte’s oldest nonprofit art gallery and organization. Since then, we’ve been paving a new landscape for the art scene—not your average ‘Poppies in the Park’ painting, but an authentic art experience for art lovers of all ages and backgrounds. CAL is a 501 (c)3 non-profit visual arts organization that relies on annual membership dues, studio rentals, donations, and grants to sustain its activities. We offer a unique mix of open working studios, classes, and community outreach programs along with a public gallery.

Intuitive Line Drawing Sept 23 6-8PM

Come explore Intuitive Line Drawing with artist Joy Fanning, a fun and freeing way to let your imagination set the pace and discover what unexpected images want to emerge on the page.

By relaxing into a deeper state of awareness and letting go of preconceived ideas about art and design, you’ll follow your intuition and allow lines, shapes, patterns, and images to develop naturally. There’s no pressure to make something “right”—just an opportunity to experiment, create, and let your subconscious mind show up and show off!

This is a relaxed and encouraging class open to all experience levels. No previous art experience is required.
