Divergent Threads Now Open at Gantt Center

A native of Apex, David Wilson has created public art in North Carolina and studio works on display across the United States, Germany, Spain and Japan. His Divergent Threads, Lucent Memories consists of 14 glass panels now on display at the recently-opened Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture, part of the new Wells Fargo Cultural Campus in Charlotte.

The subject is the city’s African-American history, including the historic Brooklyn community, a cultural, social and economic center for African-Americans in Charlotte for most of the 20th century and current geographic home to the Gantt Center.

The center is open Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday 1 to 5 p.m. and is closed on Monday. For more information, visit www.ganttcenter.org or call (704) 547-3700.

Another of Wilson’s public artworks, Untitled, is a three-and-a-half story architectural glass wall commissioned for the McColl Building at the Kenan-Flagler Business School at UNC-Chapel Hill in 1997.
