THE MODERNISTS
A community of young professionals, creatives, and culturally connected individuals in the 21-to-45-year-old age group. Embracing the Bechtler’s mission, we bridge tradition and innovation through vibrant programming, storytelling, and shared experiences that make modern and contemporary art and culture come alive. Our initiative is to engage and attract the next generation of museum supporters.
As the Bechtler develops art and cultural programming characterized by global importance and local relevance, The Modernists will be a key partner in the museum’s drive to make Charlotte an international cultural center.

You will enjoy unlimited museum access, exclusive programming, studio tours with acclaimed local artists, curated gallery crawls, hands-on art experiences, and private curator-led tours.
Mark your calendar for our first event on October 16, 2025.
