  Performance: Sensory Friendly Chamber Music Concert with Dr. Elizabeth Sullivan and Friends
  Join us at 1pm for a free to attend concert! Have you ever wanted to take your kids to a classical music concert but were worried they may not be able to handle the environment? We are partnering with Dr. Elizabeth Sullivan, music professor at UNC Charlotte, and her colleagues to provide a child-friendly musical concert that will also be performed in a way that invites neurodivergent children to enjoy the experience. We will have sensory tools, a quiet space for overstimulation, and other materials to have kids feel as comfortable as possible while enjoying the music!
  
  This event is in collaboration with Lenz Studio, The Bead Lady and ShoeBeeDoo.
  

Frequently highlighted by Charlotte on the Cheap, the area’s popular go-to blog for free/low-cost family entertainment, Cabarrus Arts Council Family Days are fun and free!

Each Family Day will be different and may include creative art projects in The Galleries, a performance or movie in the Davis Theatre and even activities on the front lawn of the Cabarrus County Historic Courthouse.

Children also will be able to do activities related to the current exhibition, including the “I Spy” art work scavenger hunt, “Art Box” craft projects and “Think About It” guided questionnaires.

People may visit any time between 1 pm and 4 pm. Family Days are free! Children must be accompanied by an adult.
