The show opens this Friday, August 29th, from 6pm to 9pm at ArtsPlus, located in the old church at 2304 The Plaza, near the intersection of Plaza and Parkwood Road. The show will then be on the walls for a few weeks, including during ArtsPlus' Fall Festival on Sept. 6th from 1 to 4pm.

New Exhibit, Opening August 29th, 6pm to 9pm For Opening Reception

Opening August 29th at ArtsPlus. Spread the word.

Music As An Image:

Photographs by Daniel Coston, 1995-2025.

Photographs of musicians and artists from the past thirty years, taken by someone that saw the world through the camera, while curating a life in Charlotte, North Carolina. These are photos of your friends, heroes, and others that spoke to us through music. The sound created the memory, and here are visuals that went with those moments.

Upcoming Exhibitions

I'm happy to announce that you can see my photos this fall as part of two exhibitions.

In October, I will be part of an exhibit in Mebane, NC on the life and music of Joe Thompson. In 2008, I spent a few days photographing Joe recording and rehearsing with the Carolina Chocolate Drops, a series of moments that I will always cherish. The exhibit will open in Mebane on October 3rd, and be available to view for several weeks.

I also will be doing my first exhibition in Charlotte in some time, with a exhibit at ArtsPlus, on Plaza Road. This will feature my music and arts photography, with a mixture of onstage and portrait photos. This show will span work over the last thirty years, and will hopefully give you a sense of the times, people and places that informed these photos. The exhibit also open at ArtsPlus on August 29th, and will be there through mid-September.

More news coming soon about both shows. Thank you all for following these adventures. Trust me, there is much more to come.

See you all again soon, and see you on the road.
