Our Community

The Weatherspoon is proud to partner with numerous community groups and organizations throughout North Carolina. We welcome the opportunity to bring people together in meaningful ways through art and thank those who help support our community outreach programs including the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro, the F.M. Kirby Foundation, the Hillsdale Foundation, Lincoln Financial Foundation, the North Carolina Arts Council, the Charlotte Wilkinson Toler Art Education Endowment, and VF Corporation.

Art for Lunch

Led by UNCG faculty and staff, Art for Lunch is a series of public talks that closely explores single works of art from unique perspectives in the sciences and humanities. View the event calendar for upcoming Art for Lunch talks.

Community Days

Offered biannually, WAM Community Days are open to all ages and feature hands-on art making activities, live performances, gallery games, and plenty of opportunities to explore the Weatherspoon at your own pace. View the event calendar for our next Community Day and other special events for youth and families.

New Art/New Audiences

Since it's inception in 2003, New Art/New Audiences has introduced hundreds of adults in the greater Greensboro community to the Weatherspoon and contemporary art. The program offers a casual learning environment where strategies for looking at and thinking about art are discussed. Both one-night introductions and in-depth, multiple visit classes are offered as part of the New Art/New Audiences program. 

New Art/New Audiences offers a creative alternative to team-building and out-of-box thinking practices. For information on how your group or business can participate in a New Art/New Audiences program, contact the education department at 336-334-5770 or weatherspoon@uncg.edu.
