Abstract:
Gutted by fire in 1985, the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church in Charlotte has risen from the ashes in a new guise - the Tryon Center for Visual Art. Restored through a $7 million grant from Bank of America, the center provides three-month grants and work space to national and international artists. It is also a place where young and old can take classes, artists can exhibit, and local artists can lease space for a small fee.
