OPEN OCCUPANCY Artists Respond to HB2 

(Quoted from McColl Center for Art + Innovation)

Friday, August 19, 2016 - Tuesday, September 20, 2016

McColl Center For Art + Innovation and Charlotte Pride present Open Occupancy: Artists Respond To HB2.

Provoked by recent attacks on LGBTQ rights by North Carolina’s legislature (House Bill 2, or HB2), Charlotte area artists and advocates began a conversation about reclaiming the narrative of sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression; from one of fear, bigotry, and public exclusion to one of respect, tolerance, and public inclusion. 

This conversation has grown into a series of provocative temporary art installations in seven of the public restrooms here at McColl Center for Art + Innovation. Each restroom features the work of a McColl Center Alumni Artist, inspired by a dialogue with local LGBTQ advocacy groups. Their responses range from the serious to the whimsical, and show that creativity can be a powerful response to prejudice.

McColl Center is open for extended hours during the 2016 Charlotte Pride Festival & Parade:
Friday, August 19, 12-5 PM 
Saturday, August 20, 12-8 PM
Sunday, August 21, 11 AM-5 PM
