UNC Charlotte Center City Is a Cultural Gem

Since opening in the summer of 2011, UNC Charlotte Center City has become not only an educational extension of the College of Arts + Architecture from the UNC Charlotte main campus in north Charlotte, it's become a cultural gem in Uptown. The leaders at the 12-story building, which resembles a stack of books, have done a great job of opening its doors to the community. Donell Stines-Jones, community outreach coordinator at UNC Charlotte Center City, and Crista Cammaroto, director of galleries for the College of Arts + Architecture, are two of the people most responsible for the great art exhibits and cultural events that have been featured there over the last year and a half. I had the privilege of partnering with them on an event in September on behalf of the Hip Hop Caucus-Charlotte.
