HotWorks.org Presents
4th Annual Charlotte Fine Art Show™
December 9-11, 2011 – 3 days
New Location! Charlotte Convention Center

The 4th Annual Charlotte Fine Art Show™ has a new and improved location indoors at the Charlotte Convention Center, located in Uptown Charlotte. Dates are December 9, 10 & 11 – this is a three day event. As you may be aware, this is the old home of the American Craft Council Show which no longer happens there. In the past, Hot Works has held the Charlotte Fine Art Show™ at The Park Expo & Conference Center, formerly known as the Merchandise Mart. Many seasoned artists have requested us to make the move to the Convention Center – which we are doing! Artists who have participated in our previous Charlotte shows, who will be returning this year include John Benton and Brian Sykes, Wood; Antanas Ulevicius, Clay; Woodrow Nash, Sculpture; and David Goldhagen, Glass; Mia Tyson, Fiber, to name a few.

In the past four years, Hot Works has created grass roots relationships within the Charlotte Metropolitan Area. The event is highly advertised and promoted on print, radio, television, social media, posters and post cards. In the last few years, the new Mint Museum and Bechtler Museum of Modern Art have been newly built and are now open within a few blocks of the Convention Center. The Harvey B. Gantt Center for African American Arts & Culture, also located a few blocks from the Convention Center, went through an $18M beautiful renovation. The new Nascar Museum is adjacent to the Convention Center, and a parking structure with 800-900 parking spots has been added on.

The Institute for the Arts & Education, Inc., is the 501c3 non-profit organization that is part of the event and helps find ways to enrich lives and strengthen the community through the Power of Arts. Many positives link the Charlotte Convention Center to a successful Fine Art & Craft Show.

Charlotte, NC has not been given the chance it deserves to make this high quality juried fine art & craft show a success. There is a lot of potential in Charlotte. Hot Works has built its flagship event, the Orchard Lake Fine Art Show® now held in West Bloomfield, MI to be in the top 100 art shows in the country the last four years in a row – in Michigan’s worst economic times. We can do the same for Charlotte, NC!
