Art Hole Noda

This is a lovely place.
Neighborhood, picturesque and convenient to the area with walking/​running trails across the street.
I must say that I lived in Wisconsin (home to PBR) for 11+ years and never ever once did I see anyone dedicate anything to Pabst and for that reason these guys have won~
There’s only street parking but this set up was totally Brooklyn DUMBO-​area-​esque.
Between the DJ, outside art, food truck, specialty soda, and pretty cool people.
FYI: See my pictures and tell me you can’t feel the vibe.

I visited the Art Hole Noda for the recent PBR event. It was a fun little evening event with art, food trucks, and spray paint.
The thing that stuck out the most was the community that it fosters. There were so many different types of people that came out to enjoy the event, and it really seemed like a big family.

This is one of those places where after you leave you can’t help but think, «damn, we have some really badass ish and good people in this town.»
Pabst is fully funding this pop-​up gallery to support the arts. 100% of the proceeds go directly to the artists. The events are also free and open to everyone. Oh, and did I mention you can drink a beer while enjoying it all? Yes, yes you can.
Last night was my first time seeing the Art Hole in action. Johnny V said we’ll open the doors early for you and the Unilocal community. So, I went at 5:45pm. I had so much fun that I ended up staying past 10. The event was a showcase of local artists interpreting PBR. Ahuff provided the tunes, KO Food Truck had delicious tacos, and the brand new Hart’s Soda Shop kept everyone from dying in the humidity with cold treats. This is part of the reason I stayed so long. John H and I were determined to eat #allthetacos and #allthesundaes. There was a giant piece of plywood setup and tons of cans of spray paint for everyone to get in on the action. It was really cool to see the kids get involved and how it all turned out in the end. Loved seeing even the littlest of artists diving in to leave their mark.
By 9:30pm, there had already been at least eight pieces sold and 300+ people in and out of the door. It was pretty cool to see so much support for this project. It felt like a big neighborhood block party.
It’s so important to have things like this in place to help promote our local art scene and community. I encourage you all to keep an eye out for more events here. There’s even a pumpkin carving type deal set for October.
Major props to Johnny V, PBR, and the NoDa neighborhood. I hope all of Charlotte gets a chance to come out and see what you guys are creating.
