Check out these events going down in Charlotte and the surrounding area this weekend— as selected by the folks at Creative Loafing.
Friday, March 6
Art: At Ciel Gallery’s new exhibition, titled Sticks and Stones you can gaze upon art created from all natural elements. Who knew art supplies could be found right outside? Be sure to check out the opening reception of the exhibition, which goes down from 6 p.m.- 9 p.m.
Theater: The Afro-American Cultural Center and Carolinas Black Pride Movement have teamed up to present Before It Hits Home, a play that touches on a man’s life as he suffers from AIDS. Check out a performance at the Afro-American Cultural Center.
Music: Rock out to music by the Hymns, who will perform at Snug Harbor.
Saturday, March 7
Sports: Charlotte’s all-female roller derby league, Charlotte Roller Girls will face its first bout of the season against Athens, Ga.’s Classic City Roller Girls at the Grady Cole Center.
Music: It’s not often that two musicians big in the music world come together for a full-fledged tour together, but that’s exactly what happened when legendary artists (and pianists) Elton John and Billy Joel joined forces for the “Face 2 Face” tour, which will make a stop at Time Warner Cable Arena.
Art: Elder Gallery’s newest exhibit, titled Body Beautiful features paintings and drawings of human figures.
Sunday, March 8
Dance: It’s not every day that you can see Irish step dancing mixed with traditional Irish music, but Riverdance has it all. Check out a performance at Ovens Auditorium.
Film: As the Charlotte Jewish Film Festival winds down, be sure to check out its last film screening of Beau Jest at Ballantyne Village Theatre.
Food: Warm up by filling you belly with some of Lupie’s satisfactory chili.
