Cain Center for the Arts partners with Arts & Science Council to offer a day of culture on January 26
Cain Center for the Arts will host a day of culture during Connect with Culture Days, an annual Arts & Science Council (ASC) event that provides the Charlotte-Mecklenburg community with free cultural experiences and activities.
Connect with Culture Days kicks off on Friday, Jan. 25 and continues through Saturday, Jan. 26. In Cornelius, Cain Center for the Arts will present multiple free visual arts experiences on Saturday at Cornelius Town Hall (21445 Catawba Avenue, Cornelius) from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
“We are excited to be an arts and cultural hub for Connect with Culture Days in the Lake Norman area,” says executive director Justin Dionne. “There is a huge community here that believes in the arts, and we are excited to give them a taste of what the center has to offer during this community-focused event.”
The center’s visual arts experiences include activities that emulate artists like Piet Mondrian, Alexander Calder, Diego Rivera, Henri Matisse, Faith Ringgold and Georgia O’Keefe.
“Everyone deserves to experience arts and culture regardless of where they live or what they can afford,” ASC President Robert Bush says. “Connect with Culture Days brings a sampling of our vibrant cultural community beyond Charlotte’s Center City and directly into neighborhoods.”
In addition to offering arts, science, history and heritage experiences throughout Charlotte-Mecklenburg, ASC’s Connect with Culture Days also offers free entry into participating museums in the Queen City. A full schedule of arts and cultural experiences and participating cultural organizations is available at ArtsAndScience.org.
ASC’s Connect with Culture Days is sponsored by Culture Blocks, Duke Energy, Novant Health, University City Partners and Atrium Health.
