This former pop-up gallery found a permanent home in Myers Park in 2015, allowing founder Chandra Johnson to forge an arts destination in Charlotte. Crowds pack show openings, and pieces sell out. SOCO’s bookstore helps visitors accessorize their coffee tables and bring home affordable art. And the exhibits, such as Liz Nielsen’s Night Garden and Xavier Guardans’ Traveling Lights, make SOCO Gallery a spot to watch on a national level.
