Event Navigation
The Fourth Annual Kings Drive Art Walk is scheduled Saturday and Sunday, April 26-27, at the Little Sugar Creek Greenway along Kings Drive, near the Metropolitan, in Charlotte. The festival is a sister to the annual September Festival in the Park.
The Art Walk runs Saturday, April 26, from 10am to 6pm, and Sunday, April 27, from 11am to 5pm, with fine arts for sale in numerous mediums, including paint and drawing, sculpture, pottery, and metal, stone, wood and glass. This year’s event includes the return of JazzArts Music Stage at the Metropolitan, as well as food. Free.
“The maturity of Kings Drive Art Walk is beginning to show,” said David Dalton, longtime chairman of the Festival in the Park board of directors. “We have a group of returning fine artists who are eager to get back along with an expanded number of new artists who will make this the best fine arts festival we have had to date. In addition, we are expanding into Midtown Park due to the increased number of juried artists. As an added treat, we are adding a group of local acoustical musicians to add another dimension to the venue”.
Parking is available in several lots and along neighborhood streets around Sugar Creek. The KDAW asks our visitors to refrain from parking at retail parking lots/decks and any of the parking decks near Carolinas Medical Center. Streets must remain open around CMC open to ensure passage of emergency vehicles.
Mecklenburg County Parks & Recreation serves as the host of the walk. Piedmont Natural Gas is the 2014 Green sponsor.
This project was made possible, in part, with funding from the Arts & Science Council, the N.C. Arts Council – a division of the Department of Cultural Resources – and the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art.
