#thesavageway had the privilege of creating some Clean Graffiti for David Weekley Homes and their Central Living Charlotte locations. David Weekly Homes is a part of the Charlotte community and they are building some new properties in the South End area of town including Iverson, Ideal & Carson.
Clean Graffiti for David Weekley Homes in Charlotte, NC – #thesavageway
The spots were put down in the Historic South End area of Charlotte, NC and included a positive message, “Love Where You Live” and a fun representation of the Charlotte skyline.
New Love Where You Live Clean Graffiti by #thesavageway in Charlotte, NC.
David Weekley Homes has been “building in Charlotte-area suburbs for nearly 20 years, but (they) recognize that life in these areas is not for every Homebuyer. The Central Living communities offer the right home for your lifestyle and low-maintenance living while minimizing your home’s footprint. Enjoy the proximity to everything you’re already familiar with, such as a variety of entertainment, shopping and dining, and easy access to sporting venues, cultural landmarks and area employers.”

It’s been fun to have people send us texts, snap chat messages and post on their social media when they see a Clean Graffiti spot. The fact that you can only see these spots when you are walking around the neighborhood makes it awesome for targeted messaging. Here are a few snaps that we received for the Love Where You Live Campaign.

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.
The New Levine Center for the Arts logo / initiative that launched earlier this spring.
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.

driveway art® is an extension of #thesavageway’s commercial Clean Graffiti service. If you’re not familiar with Clean Graffiti, it is the process of putting a clean message on a dirty sidewalk. You can click here for examples.

For driveway art®, we decided to partner with a local architectural designer, Robin Tonelli, to bring new designs & creative options right to your driveway. Our artwork is an eco-friendly option (it’s just water – no harsh chemicals) and allows individuals and families to display their creative side.

OrthoCarolina has been a partner of #thesavageway since 2012. We admire the way that this group of privately owned physicians interact and help the Charlotte, NC community grow. From supporting innovation initiatives like TEDxCharlotte and Seed 20 to helping young entrepreneurs, OrthoCarolina seems to be everywhere. One area that is particularly awesome is their involvement with youth sports.
Recently, we completed a Clean Graffiti campaign surrounding OrthoCarolina Soccer. Getting kids active and healthy has always been important to the OC community. Blair Primis, Vice President of Marketing at OrthoCarolina, said, “As part of an ongoing effort to support and promote youth sports in Charlotte, soccer seemed like a natural way to make that a reality. For boys and girls, men and women.”

We put down Clean Graffiti spots in five Charlotte neighborhoods. These spots are near six parks and two schools – but all near soccer fields where kids practice or play the game. The creative is a positive, motivating quote and a bouncing soccer ball (and we loved it!).

Our latest Clean Graffiti project took us down south to Columbia, South Carolina. We partnered with the Riverbanks Zoo & Garden for an in-house messaging solution.
Riverbanks Zoo & Garden is the first private zoo to utilize Clean Graffiti. #thesavageway

Riverbanks Zoo and Garden is “home to more than 2,000 magnificent and fascinating animals and one of the nation’s most beautiful and inspiring botanical gardens. It is the mission of Riverbanks to foster appreciation and concern for all living things.”
In early summer 2016, their newest attraction, Waterfall Junction, opened to the public. This 3-acre interactive children’s garden “inspires exploration, imagination and nature play with tree houses, a dinosaur dig, streams, ponds and plenty of room to roam.” It is tucked away behind the beautiful Botanical Garden. In order to bring attention to zoo-goers that this family-friendly addition exists, the team at Riverbanks thought some innovative Clean Graffiti would be perfect to use.

“Clean Graffiti was an excellent fit with Riverbanks’ mission of conservation as a green and renewable way of advertising. It also allowed us to promote and advertise our newest attraction in the park without creating new signage. New signs not only aren’t recyclable but they also clutter the park and are often overlooked. Clean Graffiti afforded us the unique opportunity to take advantage of under utilized space and grab people’s attention with innovative advertising.. Right under their feet!” said Lochlan Wooten, Director of Marketing for Riverbanks Zoo & Garden.
#thesavageway traveled to Columbia, SC to execute the Clean Graffiti on the Riverbanks Zoo campus. Our land surveying usually doesn’t include lions and flamingos, so we were sure to take a moment and say hello to the animals.

We put down 12 Clean Graffiti spots around the zoo. The signs combined to say Waterfall Junction, Now Open, Explore.Imagine.Play, and we even added a fun water splash mark.
“Guests and staff alike have loved this installation; its innovative, fun and renewable- what could be better? It’s really been a lot of fun to watch people react to the different installations,” added Wooten.

The next time you’re enjoying some family time at the Riverbanks Zoo, make sure to head across the bridge to Waterfall Junction (there is no additional cost for this portion of the park). Pro tip: bring your swimsuit to splash around (it looks like so much fun).
