Congratulations to Isaac Payne, winner of Charlotte Magazine’s 2013 Best of the Best Award for Visual Artist. Isaac is one of our painting instructors at CPCC and recently had a two person exhibition in our galleries with Chris Watts.

In the words of Charlotte Magazine, “Payne leaves the figures in his work ambiguous and forces the viewers to project their own experiences and thoughts onto the familiar scenes.”

We look forward to showing one of Isaac’s paintings alongside work by many other talented CPCC Faculty members in our upcoming 2013 Faculty Show (May 8-September 6). Stay tuned for more details.

On Saturday, April 13, the CPCC art department held an open house and welcomed Charlotteans into their studios. Visitors traveled through work spaces for painting, ceramics, jewelry, printmaking, photography, design, and more, as students worked on projects.
