Theaster Gates: The Mission Remains Constant

Renowned artist and professor Theaster Gates shares his thoughts on the Gantt and how the institution’s keen focus on its mission yields the “care of, preservation of, celebration of, and amplification of Black creatives.” We were honored to welcome Gates to Charlotte to participate in our artist residency, Black Carolina, where artists learn and create through an equity and social justice lens, and implement in-community projects informed by their work.
