Who tells our story? Who explains to our neighbors all that an architect must master to create functional designs which are aesthetically pleasing, environmentally sustainable, and integrate with their surrounds? Who explains to them the Art of Architecture and the Art of the Detail? We know this story can only be told by us! And this year we have a grand opportunity to connect with our community and share our stories. Charlotte's 60th Annual Festival in the Park will be held September 20-22 in Freedom Park, and AIA Charlotte is privileged to have been chosen to participate. If you enjoy Arts Festivals and can take a couple of hours out of one weekend day to tell your neighbors about what we do, then join us under the "Big-Top" (or in this case, under our 10x10 tent.) We need a minimum of 24 volunteer members who will work in pairs over a two-hour period to staff our tent. If you have time to volunteer, make this a family event. There will be plenty to see and do at this annual gathering. And if you are one of our members with an unquenchable desire to design, then plan to come to the Booth Design Event hosted by Morris Berg Architects on Wednesday evening the 28th. If it's an architecture booth, it needs to stand out as an expression of what we represent. Can you help us achieve this? Come and be part of this adventure with your colleagues and meet your community. Help us design a great space under our tent, and help us tell our story the way it needs to be told.
