Queens University of Charlotte presents artists from both Mecklenburgs
Show highlights work from artists in Mecklenburg County and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany

It is the second part of a cultural exchange that began with a 2008 exhibition in Pasewalk, Germany.  The project fosters creative dialogue by pairing Charlotte and German artists who, though living in different cultures, address similar concerns in their work. This contemporary cultural dialogue is made possible through Charlotte’s historical connection to Mecklenburg, Germany.  “Approaches/Annäherungen” represents yet another aspect of our relationship to the larger world.

The Friends of Art at Queens hosts this exhibition in collaboration with The Charlotte Symphony, the Mint Museum and “Changing Places,” a Levine Museum of the New South exhibit exploring the influence of place and change on culture. 

“Approaches” opens Nov. 12 with a reception featuring visiting artists from 5-7 p.m. in the Max L. Jackson Gallery in the Watkins building.  It will be open Nov. 12-Dec. 11 weekdays 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and weekends 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is free and open to the public.

Queens University of Charlotte is a private, co-ed, Presbyterian-affiliated comprehensive university with a commitment to both liberal arts and professional studies. Located in the heart of historic Charlotte, Queens serves approximately 2,500 undergraduate and graduate students through its College of Arts and Sciences, the McColl School of Business, the Presbyterian School of Nursing, the Wayland H. Cato, Jr. School of Education, the School of Communication and Hayworth College for Adult Studies.
