The Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture, Charlotte

Visited the center for the first time and I truly enjoyed it. There were 3 exhibits and they all were great. It's so important to understand our culture. I encourage everyone to visit.

Enjoyed my visit to the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture. I love the architecture of this building. It's located off South Tryon Street in Uptown Charlotte, NC. The tickets are inexpensive and there is free, off the street parking available. The host was very nice and informative. They currently have 3 exhibits Visible Man: Art and Black Male Subjectivity, FuturePresent: Acquisition Highlights from the Permanent Collection, and Reflections of a People: Photographs from the Archive of Jamel Shabazz. I enjoyed the unique pieces by Radcliffe Bailey and Ernest Shaw. Some of the captiviting photos by Shabazz give you a glimpse of Black culture in New York around the 1970s and early 80s. All amazing exhibits with great pieces that embody the Black culture. Great experience.
