Uptown Charlotte from Fourth Ward (Paul McDaniel)

This is an exciting weekend at Charlotte’s highly acclaimed Levine Museum of the New South. The much anticipated “Changing Places: From Black and White to Technicolor” exhibit opens this Saturday, February 14, 2009.

The museum’s website for this exhibit offers a compelling description about the background for this exhibit and the purpose of the exhibit itself. A quote from the Changing Places brochure states that “the region is suddenly swirling with newcomers! We come from many places, but we have more in common than you might think. From the most recent arrival to the most deeply rooted native, everyone is dealing with change. Levine Museum of the New South invites you to take a look at the evolving blend of cultures and people that are transforming Charlotte and the region. Come see Changing Places, and come to understand.”

The grand opening event this Saturday, February 14, will include free admission and a variety of special activities, music, dance, crafts, and more, for the entire family. See the museum’s Changing Places Community Day website for a more detailed schedule of the day’s events.

If you live in Charlotte or will be traveling here, you will definitely want to make some time to visit this stirring and timely exhibit. Don’t worry if you can’t make it this weekend, however, because the exhibit will be here for over a year, from February 14, 2009 until February 28, 2010. Also, while you're at the museum, be sure to check out their other exhibits, such as the showcase permanent exhibit "Cotton Fields to Skyscrapers" named one of the best exhibitions in the Southeast.

See the museum’s visitor information website page - which includes information about admission, hours, and parking - for planning your visit to this venue in Uptown Charlotte. The Levine Museum of the New South is located at the corner of College Street and Seventh Street in Uptown Charlotte, one block from the Seventh Street LYNX Blue Line Light Rail station. Free 90 minute parking is also available on weekdays in the Seventh Street Station parking deck next to the museum.
