Where Are We in CLT? Dilworth Artisan Station

Where Are We in CLT? Dilworth Artisan Station

  3. Where Are We in CLT? Dilworth Artisan Station

With so much public art in South End, it’s easy to overlook the work of more than 25 local creatives waiting for you inside Dilworth Artisan Station (DAS) at 118 E Kingston Ave.

Much like Camp North End, the building that houses DAS has had a rich life. It’s been a furniture factory and a textile mill. During World War II, soldiers’ cars were stored there.

Today, nestled along the light rail line on Kingston Ave., the three-story building is an active art hub where artists create, show and sell their work. The art isn’t just inside the Station. In fact, mural artist Mike Wirth is painting three exterior walls of the building right now with help from Arko and Drew Newpher. 

To help us explore the building, Charlotte photographer, Brooke Brown, stopped by to tour the Station and meet artists Caroline Simas, Evelyn Henson, Kim Gibbs, Bruce Welnack, Bridgette Martin and Eva Crawford. Take a tour of Brooke’s photos below.

DAS is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and plays host to gallery crawls the first Friday and Saturday of the month.
