You’ll Love This One Awesome Activity Series In Charlotte And It Won’t Cost You A Cent
Are you looking for something new and exciting to do in your neighborhood, but want to stay on a budget at the same time? We’ve got the free activities for you with the Arts & Sciences Council of Charlotte’s Culture Blocks series.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
Seeking to break down cultural barriers created by geographical spread, this series encourages community members to engage in fun, educational activities that foster an interest in the arts.
The ASC also provides tools and resources for residents who want to become more engaged in the community, including providing services and training to strengthen cultural professionals and volunteers.
Partnering with local libraries and parks and recreation centers, various activities are planned for these areas and residents are encouraged to come participate at absolutely no cost.
There are also open discussions about what various neighborhoods would like to see happen culturally in their communities.
This makes it easy for residents to become more involved with arts and science organizations that might speak to them through a Culture Blocks event.
These creative clay workshops teach participants how to create their own masterpiece while they learn about topics that reflect the history and cultural influences of ceramic arts.
The dance class open to all ages and will teach some of the basics of ballet to area residents and expose participants to some of the most skilled and talented dancers in the industry.
Throughout the winter, there are plenty of jazz and musically-themed Culture Blocks planned for music lovers.
It takes place every Saturday through February and offers free drum lessons for children ages 3 to 18, as well as a drum circle for all ages.
Whether it is performances, classes, or workshops, Culture Blocks is guaranteed to have an event that will pique your interest and make you want to see what it is all about.
