Black Lives Matter Street Art

Photos By Mallory Shorter

On Tuesday morning, June 9th,  a group of 17 artists came together in collaboration with the city of Charlotte to create a mural reading “Black Lives Matter” along North Tryon Street between 3rd and 4th street. Each artist designed a letter with its own message. The painting was finished around 7pm the same day. A crowd gathered in a peaceful assembly to see the newly unveiled mural and take a knee in remembrance of George Floyd. Below art the 17 artists who contributed to the mural.
