Don’t miss inspiring visual and performing art, thanks to our art sponsor, Lowe’s.  

Art is instrumental in the vibrancy of our city. It transforms streets, buildings, sidewalks, and alleyways into canvasses to tell the story of its inhabitants. It breathes energy into our Center City and invites visitors to stay a little while longer.   

Charlotte SHOUT! spotlights internationally- and locally acclaimed artists all throughout Uptown. Discover dozens of interactive installations and exciting pieces that will be sure to inspire your own creative side.

Poster Competition 2024

The winner of the Charlotte SHOUT! 2024 Poster Competition is "Uptown Delight" by Jerry Kirk!

"Happy participants in the upcoming Charlotte SHOUT! festival enter a magical Uptown Charlotte, ready to showcase their talents and to enjoy what others bring.

This painting is all about the fun and excitement that the Charlotte SHOUT! festival exudes. In a colorful and whimsical style, I have depicted the type of artists who will participate beneath the glory of Uptown Charlotte's beautiful skyline. A happy sun fills the sky, as a blimp with a sign announces the event, and smiling flowers bloom. Like the festival itself, this is joy and celebration." - Jerry Kirk
