OPen Studios at Vapa
Meet our artists, tour the facility,
and find yourself in the arts!
The VAPA Center fully reopens and restarts Open Studios after Mecklenburg County-funded renovations totaling $1.7 million which have transformed the VAPA Center, Charlotte’s largest artist hub. Everyone is invited to tour the revitalized spaces, meet the artists, take guided tours, buy art, experience live dance and musical performances, and more…
For both events, as always, admission and parking are FREE!
Art Everyday, because here at The VAPA Center, Art is verb!


Open studios is a wonderful way to find yourself at the VAPA Center. The first and second Saturday of every month, our artists open their spaces and share their art with all who come to see. With over 450+ artists in our building, you’re sure to find who and what you are looking for!
Join us in a monthly celebration of creativity!
