Bechtler Museum of Art, 420 South Tryon Street, is presenting University Free Day on Friday, September 9th. College students and faculty get free admission all day, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Just bring your college ID.
Students and faculty should take advantage of the opportunity to immerse themselves in Charlotte’s unique collection of mid-century modern art. This will be one of the last opportunities to see The House That Modernism Built in the fourth-floor gallery, and the second-floor exhibition All That Sparkles… 20th Century Artists’ Jewelry, “breaks boundaries” according to The Charlotte Post.
