Located at 4237 Raleigh Street, Ste. 5 Charlotte, NC 28213 our gallery space is full of over 20 Unique Local ‘Resident Artists’ who rent out their own wall space to display and sell their wonderful and unique creative works.

This month, we host Emancipation, as we prepare for our upcoming Summer Juried Show!
Rooted in Community.
Charlotte Art League grew into something far greater than a gallery—it became a living ecosystem of artists, stories, and shared purpose. This video honors that legacy as we begin our next chapter as Queen City Art.
