Summer Exhibit: “Framed: Step into Art”

Step inside the framework of famous paintings and experience art like never before in “Framed: Step into Art,” opening at ImaginOn: The Joe and Joan Martin Center on May 20 through Sept. 3. Children and adults can enjoy a robust noontime meal in Grant Wood’s “Dinner for Threshers,” climb into a tent and explore camping gear in John Singer Sargent’s “Camp at Lake O’Hara,” add corn husks to the flower tower in Diego Rivera’s “Corn Festival” and enter Clementine Hunter’s “Big Chicken” to get behind the reins of a giant rooster.

ImaginOn is turning 16? Sweet!

ImaginOn opened its doors sixteen years ago and we want to celebrate with you, Saturday, September 25th!  Please join us to help celebrate ImaginOn's Anniversary AND Children's Theatre of Charlotte's opening day for My Wonderful Birthday Suit.  The show is ticketed but the outdoor fun is not!  Here's what is planned:
