Collectors + Conversation

The Contemporaries is a collectors club created by McColl Center, designed to bring artists, collectors, and art lovers together in intimate settings to connect, learn, and build community around art.

As we launch Year 2, join us for a special evening in conjunction with Anna Berenice Garner’s exhibition at UNCC Lambla. The night will feature a lively and thoughtful conversation on how collecting nurtures artists and shapes cultural legacy.

The conversation brings together voices from across Charlotte’s art world:

• Asa Jackson – President & CEO, McColl Center
• Jen Sudul Edwards – Chief Curator, The Mint Museum
• Kait McElwee – Managing Partner, Arcadia Art Consultancy
• Anna Berenice Garner – McColl Center Alumni Artist

This is an evening for anyone curious about collecting, passionate about supporting artists, or eager to be part of Charlotte’s growing creative community.

Taking place at UNCC Lambla's Gallery, Storrs Building - Main Campus
