Things To Do In Charlotte NC : Charlotte Art Weekly #30

New Year Wishes to the City from Charlotte Art Weekly’s 30th Edition

The coldest three days stretch in 22 years has been faced by North Carolina’s most eventful city Charlotte. The Winter Storm Grayson has impacted the weather with an intolerable breeze, but the spirits of American enthusiasts can meltdown any cold atmosphere to transform it into a celebration of vivacity. This time we are celebrating the 30th week of Charlotte Art Weekly, a schedule for the enthusiastic citizens of Charlotte, who never want to settle for less experientially. Let us all begin 2018 with some art, photography, theatrical, musical concerts, thoughtful talks and everything that helps you gain enrichment and not just entertainment.

Our this week’s inspiration has been borrowed from wordsmith and adroit rhymester Fred Chappell, who has served at the University of North Carolina as an English professor for more than four decades. Born in Canton, NC in 1936 the former Poet Laureate of North Carolina had Duke University as his alma mater. His most celebrated work is the Dagon Novel, which was honoured with the best foreign book of the year made him win the Prix de Meilleur des Livres Etrangers, the Bollingen Prize, and the T. S. Eliot Prize.
