CULTURE BLOCKS

Culture Blocks connects communities with responsive arts, science, and history experiences close to where residents live. The program engages with creative individuals and organizations with a primary mission of arts, science, and/or history to present programs in specific geographic areas. Culture Blocks, funded by Mecklenburg County, supports cultural experiences that are planned with resident involvement and/or take place at libraries, recreation centers, parks, and relevant community spaces.

All the events, classes, and workshops listed below are FREE thanks to the generous financial support of Mecklenburg County.

Before you head out — double-check the details. We do our best to keep everything accurate and up to date, but plans can change, and occasionally, we might miss something. We recommend confirming events directly with the venue or organizer before attending.
