Gate City Acres Mini-Golf Is a Hole-In-One for Downtown Greensboro
The Center for Visual Artists (CVA) announces Gate City Acres, a complete playable nine-hole mini-golf course that has been designed by local artists to fill the CVA’s gallery space in the Greensboro Cultural Center at 200 N. Davie St.
When Will This Awesomeness Be Open?
July 16 - August 18
Why Is the CVA Hosting This Event? (Uh...because it's awesome?)
This month-long indoor mini-golf event is a fundraiser for the non-profit and sure to be Greensboro’s favorite event of the summer. All holes are unique, playable, and holes-in-one are possible! Gate City Acres is part of a nationwide trend of artist-designed mini golf, including most prominently the yearly summer fundraiser at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.
Check out a few "teasers" of what the artists have been up to.
