Embark on a fascinating journey through the skies and cosmos in the interactive aerospace exhibition Above and Beyond!

Above and Beyond celebrates the incredible innovations that have shaped flight – from the earliest dreams of the Wright brothers to today’s space exploration and tomorrow’s cutting-edge aviation technologies.

Explore the frontiers of air and space travel through immersive simulations, hands-on design challenges and dynamic storytelling that brings the history and future of aerospace to life. The journey begins in a wraparound immersive theater, then expands into five themed galleries featuring dozens of interactive stations.

This reception will take place November 6th 6-8pm.

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.

Students from the studios of Cynthia Lawing and William Fried aim to captivate the audience in Tyler-Tallman Hall with a program featuring solo and collaborative works.
Tyler-Tallman Hall, Sloan Music Center
Free and open to the public.

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.

It is probably safe to assume that there are no other musical duos who represent a synthesis of Old-time Music and Klezmer favorites - “klezgrass.” Natalya Zoe Weinstein comes from a long line of klezmer and jazz musicians, and John Cloyd Miller, the grandson of bluegrass fiddling legend Jim Shumate, comes from bluegrass royalty. They are a Davidson favorite, having first performed at a Traditional music concert in 2017, and more recently appearing as our Music Department guest artists for the 2021 Holiday Gala.
Tyler-Tallman Hall, Sloan Music Center
For tickets, please contact the Union Box Office at 704-894-2135. Free for Davidson students, but tickets are required.
