NoDaRioty, the arts committee for the Historic North Charlotte Neighborhood Association, partnered with the City of Charlotte and the Neighborhood Matching Grants Program in 2020 to commission artists’ designs for existing trash receptacles. A call to artists was sent out and eight artists were chosen to produce their unique designs. Each is installed in the NoDa central business district so find them all with this short, themed artwalk.
Make special note of the different styles of art included in this project. Many first time public artists and newcomers to the Charlotte art scene are represented as well.
With each artwork, Make the Connection features facts about trash or recycling and about the relevance of the arts in our community. Learn while you walk.
All trash facts are from www.epa.gov and include statistics through 2017 or from the Envision Charlotte report produced by the City of Charlotte at www.envisioncharlotte.com. Art facts are from Americans for the Arts or the Department of Commerce.
