Calling All Artists
Art nourishes the soul. Multiculturalism strengthens community. MeckMIN's Interfaith Friendsgiving has been proving both for 50 years — bringing Charlotte's diverse faith traditions together in celebration. This November, we're inviting artists of every background to help us do it again.
