Our Story

We’ve made ourselves at home since 1985, as Charlotte’s oldest nonprofit art gallery with working studios and display walls. Since then, we’ve been paving a new landscape for the art scene—an authentic art experience for art lovers of all ages and backgrounds. Learn more about our community—we promise this will be fun.

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.
