DO NOTHING AND
A BEIGE NEW WORLD AWAITS.

If Beige wins, the world won’t stop turning. The fallout will seem random and unrelated at first - a closed venue here, an abandoned coffee shop there, a muted wall where color once opened minds and imaginations. And closer to home, local arts nonprofits will become a thing of the past. Their grants run aground and other matters are on people’s radars.

Local art is in trouble, Charlotte. Funding for the arts ceased in 2024, and it’s an easy issue to temporarily lose sight of. Which wipes the slate clean for Beige. The color of compromise. The official choice of boring. Will Beige show up in Charlotte like a new employee, well-suited but completely devoid of personality? Will Beige take local art’s lunch money? Or will you help us send an urgent memo to Beige?

Street art will not be your primer coat. Not without a fight. Art will continue to express itself freely, vividly, and beautifully - throughout Charlotte and its surrounding areas. On commissioned walls and billboards. But we cannot kick Beige’s butt without you - we need a savior, a sponsor, a grant. Where would our streets be without art? What would people of all ages point at, smile at, and be beautifully moved by? Beige? We don’t think so.
