#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.
driveway art for a client’s patio in South Charlotte, NC. #thesavageway has expanded Clean Graffiti.
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!).

#thesavageway is once again working with the North Carolina Department of Transportation on a statewide pedestrian and bicycle safety campaign using Clean Graffiti. The Watch For Me NC campaign launched in 2012 and “aims to reduce pedestrian and bicycle injuries and deaths through a comprehensive, targeted approach of public education and police enforcement.” This is a continuation of our Clean Graffiti work in 2015 and again uses messages that are all about watching where you cross and watching for cars.
Clean Graffiti campaign by #thesavageway for the NCDOT in Corolla, NC.
Our first leg of the Clean Graffiti Tour included stops in Corolla, Dare County, New Bern & Wilmington, NC. We targeted intersections that had frequent pedestrian or bicycle accidents. The hope is that the Clean Graffiti will bring awareness to the Watch For Me NC message. Part of the reason that these cities were chosen was due to the fact that there are not many outdoor signage options available to spread a message. Clean Graffiti is a great alternative to grab the attention of a walker/runner before an accident happens. The clean message on a dirty sidewalk sparks interest and can slow people down to make them aware of their surroundings (i.e. speeding cars).
