THE EVENT: PALATE TO PALETTE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7 at 7 PM Palate to Palette is the signature annual event of the Contemporaries of McColl Center for Visual Art. This lively event pairs six artists with a different wine for reasons specific to their unique relationship.

Now in its fifth year, Palate to Palette has hit its stride and earned a reputation as a “can’t miss” event in Charlotte.

THE AUDIENCE:The Contemporaries of McColl Center for Visual Art are a vibrant, diverse group of art enthusiasts and artists whose events provide a lively, social avenue for exploration of contemporary art.
