Yard Art Day ~ Unique Labor Day Fun In Charlotte, NC

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty 179530

Yard Art Day In Charlotte, NCLooking for unique fun in Charlotte, North Carolina on Labor Day Weekend? Why not participate in or attend Charlotte's annual Yard Art Day? Yard Art Day is celebrated throughout the City of Charlotte and the immedite metro areas. And I've referred to Yard Art Day as "unique," because it does appear to be unique to Charlotte. Couldn't find a mention of a similar event anywhere else in the USA.

 

On Labor Day, Monday, September 5th art will be on display in yards all over the Queen City metro area. The Yard Art Labor Day event is a 24 hour event and is for anyone with a front yard to express themselves creatively, regardless of age, talent or level of expertise. (By the way, if you are in a building with balconies facing a street you can also participate in Yard Art Day. Just make sure your association will allow it.)

 

Art of any and all mediums can be on display on Labor Day. So if you're a budding artist, feel free to set up your exhibit in your front yard on September 5th. Click here to see pictures of yard art exhibitions from previous years. They might just inspire you!

“It is my dream that for one day people remember that child within them that likes to play creatively without any judgment or restraint. For us to cross neighborhood, city boundaries. To be inclusive. Art can do this.”


– Deborah Triplett, Yard Art Day creator

Will Hamm ~ hi Will, we keep hoping for rain. But hopefully if it doesn't come by Friday, it'll hold off for the Labor Day weekend. At least it's not snowing by you!

Wayne Martin  ~ hi Wayne... a truly unique event to Charlotte. And if your HOA doesn't allow pink flamingos in your front yard, here's one day when you can put them out and call them art!

Sheila Anderson ~ hi Sheila... the best thing about it is that you can focus in on a few neighborhoods, park your car and stroll around.

Nina,

I love yard art, it is fascinating stuff what people can come up with...it is how primitive art and folk art began.  A

This is a very unique and fun day for Charlotte! I looked at your link, and , how doesn that lady stay on the ground all day posing? Is it not a real person?

Hi Evelyn... this is something Larry could takepart in. I'd lend him my yard! I think that lady may be the founder of this group, actually.

Hi Nina Hollander ,  I haven't seen anything like it.  That would be fascinating to see a whole town decorated like that.

Larry Johnston ~ good morning, Larry. I figured that as an artist you would find this venue "right up your alley."

I would definately check out the work around town, if I were in Charlotte.  It wouldn't work where I live.  We are on a major road, with no sidewalks and no place to pull off the road to park.  With the traffic, sometimes it take a while to get out of the driveway.  Would you believe this used to be a remote road?

Larry Johnston ~ hi Larry... we have roads like that now, too. So yes, I'd believe it. Most of the art is exhibited in front yards inside subdivisions, so there isn't a ton of traffic to contend with.

Nina Hollander Yard Art Day on Labor Day sounds like fun.  I wish we were closer or traveling through your area.  We have picnic at beach today & picnic at my daughter's home tomorrow and free day on Labor Day but Charlotte is too far for day trip.  Enjoy the Yard Art Day.
