Super cool spot where you can peruse and purchase art from Local Charlotte Artists, both newbies…read moreand well known alike. The artists are set up mostly in stalls that they rent from the Art League. The pieces range from all sorts of different mediums: Resin, canvas, sculptures, photographs, etc. I've walked through several stalls and while most of the artists set up and go about their day-jobs, you'll occasionally find an artist using their stall as a studio and working on whatever project they're focused on at the time. Everyone I've talked to here has been friendly and inviting. This isn't your stereotypical "snobby" art place. These people are down to earth and eager to see you. Prices range from the super affordable to the super expensive, with a happy medium in every price range in between. One stall I saw had 24x36" resin piece on canvas that was going for $700!! Way out of my price range but I'm sure someone will see it and decide that they aren't leaving without it. If you find something you like, you can take it up front where the cashier will run your purchase on behalf of the artist. Keep in mind that mostly everything is for sale, but some pieces are works in progress or display only. Everything I've seen in here is labeled properly to avoid any confusion. It's a community cornerstone that hosts events, supports charities, and spotlights some of the most prominent artists in the QC. What's not to like?

The website listed it as open and also when I mapped it. I got to the business and the door was…read morelocked. When I tried to call, there were a couple words spoken and it cut off. Now I don't know if I can visit here because there's no way to contact and no way to know it's open.

First Ward, Uptown

A photography gallery in Uptown, right next to the 7th Street LYNX Station. When I arrived, the…read moreplace was quite desolate. The security guard had me wait in the lobby while he went in to the gallery to turn the lights on. I got the impression that there wasn't a whole lot going on here. It's a good thing that it's free, because 30 minutes of looking at pictures wouldn't have been worth much. And even at 30 minutes, I was still moving pretty slow. When I visited, the exhibit was "Streetwise", a collection of pictures of America's troubled 60's. Capturing images of not just our troubled times, including Boston's "Combat Zone" and close-ups of the Black Panthers, there were also shots of just regular people and places. All in black and white, which gave it a feel of being very like a documentary. Pictures of the pictures are not permitted, but I took that as meaning not taking a picture of the individual pictures. Instead, my wide shot of the gallery doesn't give away the detail but helps you see what you're going to see there. I might come back for the next exhibit, but I think this is a "See it once" kind of thing.

I had never been to The Light Factory and saw there was a very interesting reception called A…read moreShared Elegy. I was so happy I made it out to see what it was all about since I live so close by. Great intimate space, the artist were so insightful and the crowd genuinely appreciated the artist panel and the photography. It was very well curated. Great space, seasoned artists. Well done.

More than a few years back I had some work done - some mountains on my shoulder - that I was not happy with... at all. A few years later I got it reworked over a few sessions and it looked better, but it still wasn't great. I had more or less given up, resigning myself to a tattoo that looked like nothing I wanted and that I would always have to explain as a mistake. It sucked. Fast forward to the summer of '18. I had moved to NC from UT a couple years earlier. I started contacting artists in Charlotte, Greensboro, and Asheville. I sent pictures of what I had and described what I was looking for. Most places never returned my message or call and if they did they more or less said, "I can make it look better, but it will never look like you want". Then I messaged Mike. A day or two later I got a very enthusiastic message saying he would love to work on it and he was confident he could make it look a lot better. We exchanged messages and eventually discussed it over the phone. I came down to Charlotte (still cautions in my optimism). Again, he was supremely confident that he could make it happen. I set up an appointment and went in. My appointment took most of the day, but time flew by. I was more nervous than anything (this was my last chance), which made me more squirmy than normal, but Mike was super patient and kept telling me it was going to be fine. We chatted all day about everything under the sun, told some jokes, watched some TV, enjoyed some Korean food during breaks... all while he worked through a back injury to fix my tattoo. As it turns out, he was 100% right. Not only did he fix the piece, he exceeded my expectations. It was truly incredible. I could not have been happier with the outcome, with what he could do. There is often an intense sense of appreciation when someone does good work on your body bc it ain't going anywhere, but when someone fixes something that has been there for years that you weren't proud of... man, I can't thank Mike enough. Mike even followed up and asked how things were healing. He genuinely cared about the work. He wanted me to be happy. If I could give this place 100 stars I would. Go here to get your tattoos.
