Art comes to Central Ave.


My Twitter buddy @underoak (aka Merry Oaks resident and free-lance journalist and social media expert Andria Krewson) shares this photo of one of the murals going up along Central Avenue, part of the city-funded streetscape project. If you'd like to see sketches from the other artists selected for the series of murals on vinyl, visit the UnderOak blog.

Andria tells me the stencil-like bike wheels at the mural's bottom are the artist's nod to freelance photographer and avid biker Nancy Pierce, who lives in Merry Oaks, and other neighbor bikers.

Thanks for sharing - crazy to think we have that much talent in CHarlotte. Truly awesome. I LOVE Duy Huynh, who by the way also has murals in Therapy bar/restaurant downtown that are unbelievably beautiful. I am sending to my son who is an Art student at Pratt in Brooklyn...
