Historian Tom Hanchett offers an overview of Charlotte’s development from its Colonial beginnings to the present, emphasizing the city’s rapid early 20th-century growth as the center of the south’s textile manufacturing region. Guests will learn about neighborhood design in Myers Park by the prolific Boston-based planner John Nolen, and in Eastover by his Charlotte-based, yet regionally and nationally influential protege, Earle Sumner Draper. The lecture also highlights historic landmark homes by key Charlotte architects Louis Asbury, C.C. Hook, and Martin Boyer.

Dr. Tom Hanchett enjoys working with community groups on neighborhood histories, museum exhibitions and walking tours. Educated at Cornell, University of Chicago and UNC Chapel Hill, he is best known for his Charlotte history books Sorting Out the New South City and Affordable Housing in Charlotte. Check out his lively website HistorySouth.org for fresh perspectives on topics ranging from the South’s Rosenwald Schools to Charlotte’s international food scene today. Charlotte Magazine calls him “Charlotte’s Dr. History” and named him a Charlottean of the Year.

Tom’s books will be available for purchase at the event!

UNC Charlotte Projective Eye Gallery presents, Miniature, Monumental, a diverse exhibition of artists exploring the psychological effects of miniature and monumental artworks on participants. The exhibition initiates the question, “in what ways does the scale of an artwork affect its viewers?” It draws inspiration from philosophies substantiated in Susan Stewart’s book, On Longing: Narratives of the Miniature, Gigantic, the Souvenir, and the Collection. Do large-scale works produce a sense of awe, as miniature works emit an intimate response in a spectator? Is the “miniature” a metaphor for interiority and the “gigantic” an exaggeration of aspects of the exterior? Does the increase or reduction in scale of the work affect the time and space relations of the everyday world? This exhibition offers an opportunity to explore such theories and more.

This exhibition runs October 31- January 14.

Advice we took, advice we ignored, and the wisdom we wish we’d heard sooner. Mama Said gathers pop, Broadway, and global favorites into a heartfelt, funny, and uplifting concert about the voices that shape us. The Women’s Chorus of Charlotte sings pep talks, tough love, and tender truths—moving from laughter to lump-in-the-throat and back again. Bring the person who gave you your best advice (or the friend who always asks for yours) and celebrate the courage to listen, choose, and love out loud.
