Ricky Singh is at it again.

Over the past few months, we’ve shared Ricky’s work to use art to create community pride along the Beatties Ford Road corridor, paint a #CountOnMeCLT mural to promote COVID-19 safety and launch the “Rise Up” video series of student poems and spoken word at Charlotte Lab.

Now, he’s working with SHARE Charlotte to prepare us all for #GivingTuesdayCLT on December 1, a day designed to counterbalance “Black Friday” and encourage the community to invest in local nonprofit organizations. To do this, Ricky and SHARE cultivated a group of 10 Charlotte artists to create 10 original works to feature on social media. Each work will be inspired by a different Charlotte nonprofit.

To date, the series has featured work from Carla Aaron-Lopez (HEAL Charlotte), Makayla Binter (CrownKeepers), DeNeer Davis (Beds for Kids) and Frankie Zombie (Isabella Santos Foundation.) We know the remaining, but it’s a closely guarded secret. So, you’ll have to check out the SHARE Charlotte Instagram feed throughout the month to see the rest.
