Friday, January 29

It isn’t just new apartments that are popping up around town, art is too! And poetry. They’re called Wall Poems and you’ll find them on buildings and other surfaces. A lot of local artists are working to get more art into public spaces and engage Charlotteans in the process. We meet some of the people behind these unique art installations and find out how they create art that represents the neighborhoods they occupy.

The final showcase for the “Skyline Artists in Residence” at the Goodyear building is tonight, January 29.

Please join us for our first Artist Showcase celebrating the artists in residence during the month of July: Kathryn Godwin, Holly Christine Keogh, and Todd Stewart.

This short-term artist residency project provides studio space, a stipend, and a showcase for three outstanding Charlotte artists each month for July - September, including installation art, sculpture, painting, theater, dance, and music. This project will transform the Goodyear building, the future home of Tryon Place. Resident artists will create and show their own work - and alter the building itself.

The project is co-presented by The Wall Poems of Charlotte and Amy Herman. Huge thanks to Crescent Communities for the space and support, along with Moore and Van Allen, PLLC; Little Diversified Architectural Consulting; The Wilbert Group; and Find Your Center.
