The 3rd Annual Charlotte Fine Art Show happens October 9 & 10, 2010 at The Park Expo & Conference Center (formerly called Charlotte Merchandise Mart). This is a high quality fine art & craft show. We focus on making this event different from other art shows in the area. The event is juried by art professionals who are in the art business and who have an art education. Media includes sculpture, paintings, glass, clay, wood, fiber, photography, jewelry and more, and is available for purchase. All work is personally hand made by the artists. Our team continuously travels around the country and to Canada to recruit the best artists, of which this may be their only North Carolina event. In order to attract the higher quality artists, the judges award cash prizes. The event is produced by Hot Works, LLC, which is the same company that produces the award winning Orchard Lake Fine Art Show in Michigan – voted in the top 100 art shows in the country the last three years in a row! We bring the same quality standards to Charlotte.
