Our North Carolina artists and community are invited to experience a captivating showcase of larger-than-life artworks that promise to transform the way we engage with visual art. Opening on Friday August 7th 2026, Scaled Up brings together an array of oversized works, each measuring greater than 36x48 inches creating an immersive, awe-inspiring experience for our community. 

Scaled Up aims to elevate the visual experience, pushing both the physical and conceptual limits of art on our walls. From large abstract expressions to vibrant figurative representations, the artworks on display embody the power of scale as a form of storytelling, drawing viewers into powerful narratives and compelling compositions. 

The exhibition will open with a free public reception on Friday, August 7 from 6:00–9:00 PM, inviting the community to engage with our artists, immerse themselves in the magnitude of scale and share the love for their favorite local non-profit gallery in Greensboro.   

In addition, the NC Folk Festival will be held on Sept 18-20, 2026 during our Scaled Up Exhibition offering guests from all over the world the chance to experience our impressive large works hanging in our gallery in the heart of the festival footprint. The Greensboro Cultural Center is the hub of all things creative and a nice reprieve for festival-goers during the heat or inclement weather.  

The exhibition will be available to the public until Saturday, September 20, 2026.
