There’s a free PBR art show with Insta-worthy installations coming to Charlotte
Charge your phones and get ready to social. Soon, you’ll be able to immerse yourself inside a world of “weird and happy creations” made by Charlotte artists, including a wooden sculpture garden, a Taxidermy Wall with hand-painted animal heads and a UV-reactive throne you can sit on.
The “Good Times” art show, sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon and Imek Studio at The Underground, is a free collection of installations and artwork in a diverse range of styles that will open April 30. Many of the creators are alumni of Art Hole, the pop-up gallery that PBR once sponsored in NoDa.
For “Good Times,” neon signage designed by IMEK Studios will revive the look and feel of that original Art Hole space within The Underground, with original local artwork that will be available for sale. The show featuring a walk-through floral experience, LED-illuminated cotton clouds and larger-than-life canvas works is one of three that Pabst Blue Ribbon launched amid its 1000 Creators initiative to help artists affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
