The Bechtler Museum of Modern Art is a powerful and imaginative setting for events and meetings. Located at the Levine Center for the Arts, within walking distance of the Charlotte Convention Center, the Bechtler is a unique space designed by internationally acclaimed architect Mario Botta.
EVENT SPACES
The Bechtler's lobby can comfortably accommodate up to 120 guests for a sit-down function and 200 for a standing reception. The lobby's glass front walls and doors provide stimulating visual interplay between the city's street life and a special event taking place inside. Offering airy, modern surroundings, granite floors and a colorful 23-foot-tall wall drawing by conceptual artist Sol LeWitt, the museum's lobby delivers an inspired atmosphere for events and celebrations.
The lobby/plaza combination accommodates up to 400 for a standing reception and 200 for a seated function. Events on the plaza take place under the museum’s cantilevered fourth-floor gallery which is suspended by a voluminous column. The whimsical Firebird sculpture serves as backdrop for all plaza events.
The second-floor sculpture terrace is a perfect setting for a cocktail reception, offering sweeping views of the Levine Center for the Arts and The Green park. The terrace can accommodate up to 50 people for a standing reception.
For meetings, workshops, retreats and programs, consider the Bechtler classroom, which offers a Wi-Fi connection and access to audio visual equipment. A number of classroom layouts are available; most room configurations accommodate 25 to 30 people.
