The cart hums through Uptown as painted faces and geometric floods of color lean toward you from brick and concrete—each mural a conversation on a city block. On a summer evening the murals seem to rearrange themselves: bright tags catching late light, portraits holding their gaze while the driver eases between stops for photos and stories.

Charlotte’s growth from a Revolutionary-era town to a banking and manufacturing center left large brick structures that artists now use as canvases; public art programs expanded in the 2000s.
Conservation
Many murals are community or nonprofit-funded—avoid graffiti-tagging and follow posted rules; staying on sidewalks reduces damage to plantings and public spaces.
