Join Sustain Charlotte and ArtWalks CLT for a colorful adventure through NoDa, where art, community, and great urban design come together!
Guided by a local mural artist and ArtWalks CLT founder Anne Low, we’ll enjoy a leisurely walk through one of Charlotte’s most creative neighborhoods, stopping along the way to uncover the stories behind some of its most striking murals. You’ll learn how public art reflects a community’s identity, sparks conversation, and helps create vibrant places where people want to live, work, and spend time.
We’ll also visit a street mural that Sustain Charlotte and the Charlotte Department of Transportation helped create during Open Streets 704 in 2018, exploring how art can transform public spaces and strengthen neighborhoods.
Along the route, we’ll take a closer look at what makes NoDa such a walkable, bike-friendly, and transit-connected community. Whether you arrive by light rail, bus, bike, or on foot, you’ll discover how thoughtful transportation and placemaking work together to create healthier, more connected neighborhoods—and leave inspired with ideas for making it easier to drive less and help shape a more vibrant Charlotte.
Come curious, meet fellow city lovers, and experience NoDa through a whole new lens!
IMPORTANT: Event capacity is limited to 30 participants due to the interactive nature of the tour. Register early to avoid disappointment!
