UNC Charlotte’s Mobile Arts & Community Experience (MAX) is in residency in the Montclaire neighborhood through October 22. Montclaire is a neighborhood established more than 50 years ago in the south Charlotte area and hosts a diverse group of individuals, families, schools, businesses, and institutions. Situated in the center of this neighborhood is the culturally diverse Title I CMS school, Montclaire Elementary. MAX will reside on the grounds at Montclaire Elementary for four weeks in September-October and host in-school and after-school programs for the students of Montclaire, as well as open community programming on Saturdays.

UNC Charlotte students will be visiting MAX to work on literacy and dance with elementary children during the school day.
