Charlotte Neighborhoods

Charlotte Neighborhoods is a community-based, design education and advocacy project, centered on an exhibit series that explores Charlotte’s neighborhoods, past and present. This exhibit series gives museum visitors and Charlotte-Mecklenburg residents the chance to explore and analyze a deeper recognition of “community” and promote positive social change.

The neighborhood history component of the exhibit will rotate periodically to showcase a different Charlotte community. This component of the exhibit explores the neighborhoods through their history, architecture and culture. Previously featured neighborhoods are: NoDa, Brooklyn to Biddleville, and Center City. We are currently displaying Plaza-Midwood.

Crossroads Charlotte's component was added in conjunction with the Charlotte Neighborhoods: Brooklyn to Biddleville opening. Crossroads Charlotte is a large-scale civic engagement initiative designed to help the community craft a future based on intentional choices and creative foresight. Through this project, organizations, institutions, and individuals will hear and respond to four stories depicting plausible futures for the Charlotte community. The exhibit installation features an interactive component designed to engage visitors and start the process of exploration and discussion. Crossroads Charlotte is funded by John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and Foundation for the Carolinas, and is managed by the Community Building Initiative. Click here to visit Crossroad Charlotte's website.
