What is an Affinity Group?

McColl Center for Art + Innovation’s Affinity Group is a group of volunteer community members and thought leaders who seek to initiate, engage, and develop relationships with artists and community, and bolster public and private partnerships to support the Center’s mission. Affinity Groups reflect the Center’s goals to provide artists and community with resources – time, treasure and talent - in order to investigate topics that are critically important locally and globally. Guided by the Spheres of Impact (SOI), the Center commissions artists to address sphere-related topics and issues in a meaningful way. There are four active Affinity Groups, Environment, Social Justice, International, and Craft. Each sphere-related Affinity Group has approximately fifteen members charged with the task of identifying strategies, issues, partners, and resources relevant to their Sphere. The Center’s SOI engagement model has resulted in hundreds of in-depth participatory programs with schools and universities, hospitals, businesses, foundations and city/county government.

The Spheres of Impact are Environment, Healthcare, Education, Social Justice, Technology, Business Innovation, International, Craft, Architecture/Design, and Beauty. If you would like to help McColl Center advance its mission to empower artists to advance communities and impact lives through art and the creative process by participating in an Affinity Group or another activity, please visit our website and click on “get involved.”

YEAR IN REVIEW McColl Center for Art + Innovation is grateful for the generous support provided by our friends, partners and supporters whose contributions make up 74% of our annual operating budget. The Center was honored to recieve grants from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation supporting our Artistsin-Residence, the Windgate Foundation’s support of the Innovation Institute and Affiliate Artists, the Reemprise Fund’s underwrote our new, award winning website, Rasmuson Foundation’s continued support of an Artist-in-Residence exchange program between Charlotte and Alaska and The Surdna Foundation’s continued support of our Environmental Artist-inResidence program. Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Duke Energy’s commitments to the Center are a shining example of Charlotte’s commitment to arts and culture. Ed and the beloved late Gail Peacock funded a residency and were awarded the Center’s Luminary Award at Ashes to Art. Missy and Doug Smith made a lasting impact with their major gift to fund a residency for the next five years. The Center is privileged to have such incredible donors who made transformational gifts so we can continue to lead the way for artist residency programs and community engagement.

The Center is proud to announce that our donor base grew by 25% during our Fiscal Year 2014. This is proof of your commitment to the artists, exhibitions and programs at McColl Center. We celebrate another successful year of bringing artists who have a purpose to their work, not only with the intent to improve their artistic practice, but engage our community in a meaningful way. The result of embedding artists into the community problem-solving process is demonstrating the power of the artist as creative catalyst and the effectiveness of their projects on complex issues in Charlotte.

DONOR SPOTLIGHT “We always leave McColl Center feeling proud. Proud not only that the city to which we belong is home to such a vibrant scene for contemporary art, but proud even more so that McColl Center is giving back to the Charlotte community in so many remarkable ways.” – Missy and Doug Smith After attending the opening of McColl Center back in 1999, Missy was immediately drawn to the mission of the organization, recognizing the transformational power of connecting art and artists to community.

As an emerging artist new to Charlotte, she still remembers leaving the event invigorated by what McColl Center was going to offer its artists as well as its city. Years later, when she met her husband Doug, a Charlotte native, they discovered a common bond in their love for the arts as well as a strong belief in service to the community. She introduced him to McColl Center and her passion for the Center quickly became theirs.

In 2014, Missy and Doug decided it was their time to make a lasting impact on the arts in Charlotte, and they say McColl Center was the obvious choice for them. “We want to support the contemporary arts in Charlotte, but we also want to do something that will in turn benefit people from all walks of life in our community.” Their gift will support one local artist in eleven-month residency for the next five years at the Center. This gift brings to life their philanthropic goal of enabling artists to freely express their talent, beliefs and values through their art while making vital contributions to the community in Charlotte.
