Arts+ provides music and visual art experiences for the greater Charlotte Mecklenburg area. Our mission is to unleash creativity, transform lives and build community through outstanding and accessible arts education. Our goal is to make the transformative power of music and art available to students of all ages, skill levels and socioeconomic backgrounds. From private lessons to summer camps to community outreach programs, we strive to help each student unlock their full potential through cultural experiences that prioritize individual creativity, resilience, mindfulness and joy . We currently maintain two studio spaces: in Uptown Charlotte at Spirit Square and our newest location, The Bridge, by the Sugar Creek light rail station, as well as facilitate programming in schools and community centers in every corner of the Queen City.

Through Music Around, Arts+ provides music instruction to schools, preschools, and other organizations across Charlotte – in the comfort and convenience of their own classrooms. Music Around can provide new music opportunities and help supplement current music instruction.
Talented Arts+ faculty members travel to dozens of schools each week to lead a wide range of programs. For younger children, instructors use games, singing, instrument exploration, and movement. With older students, we teach classes such as orchestra, choir, and keyboard. Regardless of the age, our Music Around programs are sure to build musical skills, critical thinking, self-expression, confidence, and problem-solving skills.
Arts+ adapts the Music Around program to the needs and interests of the school. Curriculum can be shaped to fit school learning goals as well as state and national standards.
