Charlotte, NC is becoming an awesome cultural hub for museum exhibitions, music, dance, and street art. In May of this year, the arts scene was taken to another level when the #LongLiveArts Free Community Festival took place in Uptown.
Levine Center for the Arts hosted this first-of-its-kind collaboration. Levine Center for the Arts is “one of Charlotte’s major cultural destinations, home to Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture, John S. and James L. Knight Theater, and Mint Museum Uptown. The Center was made possible through the support of the City of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, Campaign for Cultural Facilities, and The Leon Levine Foundation, one of the country’s largest and most impactful philanthropic organizations, along with the generosity of Bank of America Foundation, Wells Fargo Foundation, and Duke Energy Foundation, among many others.”
#thesavageway was able to join in this collaboration of the arts community by creating some Clean Graffiti for the #LongLiveArts initiative.
These spots can be found throughout the Plaza Midwood, NoDa & South End neighborhoods of the Queen City. While the Clean Graffiti was placed in promotion of this FREE community festival, the message lives on and will continue to ring true in this beautiful city.
