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.
