There’s an old song you’re probably familiar with: "You can always go downtown." Well, in the Queen City, you really can’t go downtown—or at least, you shouldn’t refer to it that way. Charlotte, North Carolina doesn’t have an official "downtown" area, you see, but rather an Uptown—the very name of which signifies that the area is ever-expanding, constantly improving, and ultimately thriving, making it a perfect central hub and cultural focal point for a city that remains always on the up-and-up.

For some, the study and enjoyment of art is a solitary task. It’s something done quietly, privately, and in isolation, perhaps on some rainy afternoon in a musty old downtown gallery or museum. That’s a perfectly find way to experience visual art, of course, but it isn’t really the full extent of how the arts are meant to be enjoyed. For many artists and art patrons, it’s a community matter, something that’s savored as a group—even as a city—and not in isolation.

And indeed, there is an entire arts district in the Queen City, and a vibrant community of painters, sculptors, musicians, actors, writers, and other creative types who give the city a certain panache. And along with a vital art scene, of course, one expects to find some great art galleries and museums—which, for Charlotte, means the Mint.
