Story: Patchwork Crosswalks are a series of commissioned artworks completed in Fall 2021. These three crosswalks share stories of area residents and reflect the unique identities of MoRA’s communities. They are inspired by patchwork quilting where individuals gather to share stories and create art together.
Funded through an Arts & Science Council Cultural Vision Grant and support from the City of Charlotte Neighborhood Matching Grants program, the Patchwork Crosswalks is a partnership between ArtWalks CLT and MoRa and neighborhood sponsors. Artists MyLoan Dinh and Michelle “Bunny” Gregory worked with members of the community in workshops and online community submissions to design the imagery of these murals. Community members helped to paint the murals.
Key Formal Elements:
