On Friday, August 30th, 2019, at 10 a.m., join Northwest School of the Arts and the Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Association at the dedication ceremony and celebration of the new mural in front of the school, at 1415 Beatties Ford Road.
The Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Association (LHNA) and Northwest School of the Arts partnered with award-winning Charlotte artist Rosalia Torres-Weiner to write a grant that was awarded by the City of Charlotte to create a mural on Beatties Ford Road. LHNA wants the neighborhood to be seen as an artistic, creative space and has the artist incorporate the neighborhood’s cultural identity into the mural. According to Ms. Torres-Weiner, “We believe that NWSA is building the future generations of artists who will challenge, enrich, and inspire our world, and having this on the Beatties Ford Road Corridor at NWSA highlights the rich artistic history of the area and the value of NWSA to the region.”
Friday’s event is open to the public.
Northwest School of the Arts is Charlotte’s public arts magnet school, serving talented, motivated students in grades 6-12.
