Hello Members,

The exhibition at Nine Eighteen Nine Studio Gallery is coming to a close. The question is: are you coming to the closing?

What closing, you say? The closing reception of Falling into Place, which is Saturday, November 1, 2025, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Nine Eighteen Nine Studio Gallery in the VAPA Center.

This incredible showcase highlights the outstanding talent within our membership. If you haven’t experienced it yet, this is your last opportunity!

In other news, our Development Committee is planning to apply for sponsorships, donations, and grants for the GCA. If you can connect us with organizations eager to support the arts in Charlotte, please let us know. As you know, we are constantly looking to develop programs that will enhance the benefits of being a member of the Guild of Charlotte Artists.

Our mission remains to support and celebrate our artist members in every way possible.

Aligned with that mission, we are entering into a collaboration with Charlotte Studio Artists, the new group of artists next to the Johnston YMCA in NoDa, who just won an award for Best Gallery in Charlotte. The Guild will have its own wall to rent, at a very reasonable price, to members interested in showcasing their 2D works in a vibrant gallery/studio space that gets a lot of walk-in traffic. Details will follow.

Speaking of collaborations, we are partnering with Charlotte Art League in February to install a curated exhibition in CAL’s exhibition space.

Our holiday party is coming, and it will be filled with fun, food, and camaraderie. The reservations open November 1st, for the December event. There is limited space, so jump on this when you see it go live.

Mikel Frank

President, Guild of Charlotte Artists
