SHOUT! Shots – Creative Correspondents Capture the Spirit of the Streets

Last weekend, the inaugural Charlotte SHOUT! took over Uptown, SouthEnd and Camp North End for three days of creative revelry that capped off three weeks of over 200 artistic events — festivals, concerts, art installations, etc. – celebrating the Queen City’s 250th anniversary. For more information, visit CharlotteShout.com and click here to see the team behind SHOUT!, organized by Charlotte Center City Partners.

With this many events enveloping Charlotte in 72 hours, it’s impossible for any one publication to cover … well … everything. That’s why The Biscuit chose to assemble a team of “Creative Correspondents” to cover the event with help from Porter Metzler and Erin Breeden. Assembled from some of our favorite social accounts across all sectors of the city, the team (or the #CLTAvengers as they decided to call themselves) dove in and brought us incredible coverage of SHOUT! all weekend long. Below are some of our favorites. If you didn’t experience the events, this will make it hard to wait until next year. If you did, enjoying seeing it through their eyes.

@mikewirth is one of my favorite people to see around town, and for the first time I was able to take a picture with him. It’s always a pleasure to catch you in the middle of a project you’re working on and when you take the time to share some words about it. Thank you for being an amazing piece of Charlotte art Mike! @cltshout was amazing this weekend I wish it wasn’t over. ?HOW MANY CAME OUT AT LEAST ONCE?? ?: @jeannauscier #qcjavi #cltiscreative #cltblogger #cltshout #mikewirth #charlotte #charlotteart #queencityjavi #charlottenative #photography #muralist #localhero #charlottehero #communityleader #southerntigercollective @southerntigercollective @cltiscreative

What a fun night exploring the Queen. We watched crews set up the installation Entre Les Rangs in First Ward Park. It’s supposed to look like a rural wheat field swaying in the breeze and it moves to the sound of music. It’s free and definitely one of the many exhibits to check out this weekend at @cltshout ? What are you most excited to see this weekend?
