ArtPop’s final public event of 2025 was an incredible show of community support! ArtPop’s Art Markets are casual, accessible environments where all are welcome to connect with ten featured local artists and support their small businesses.

ArtPop is thrilled to have hosted our 5th Annual Upcycled Fashion Show & Fundraiser on September 6th at Blume Studios! This art-filled spin on a runway fashion show is a celebration of local creativity, sustainability, and community.

Enjoy this recap of everything that this premier event had to offer, including 15 featured pieces of upcycled fashion, unforgettable experiences, and how it supports the creative transformation of our community through art.

ArtPop is excited to have partnered again with Cain Center for the Arts to present another exhibition of works by our talented artists & alumni! For this 3rd-annual partnered exhibit, the theme was lens-based media - including digital and traditional photography, videography, and artworks that incorporate original photographic imagery.

Through ArtPop’s Inspiration Projects division, 20 local artists have been commissioned to creatively embellish table runners that will be on displayed at Carolina Farm Feast. This event hosted by Carolina Farm Trust is a farm-to-table dinner highlighting regional food & art, and celebrating a decade of the impact of their organization’s efforts.

We were thrilled to bring sustainable style to one of the season’s most elegant events! Guests of the Hats in the Garden event at Daniel Stowe Conservancy were treated to a mini fashion show during lunch and met our talented models and designers up close as they transformed the garden into a living runway.

As a part of the Beige campaign, ArtPop and the TAOH Outdoor Gallery staged this awareness event to draw attention to the immediate need for arts funding in Charlotte. The typically-bright and colorful creative space at TAOH was blanked out as the bland face of Beige as artists, art-lovers, and the press converged to discuss the massive impact that the arts have in our community!

The community showed up in full force at our first Art Market of 2025, making it one of our most-attended yet! ArtPop’s Art Markets are casual, accessible environments where all are welcome to connect with ten featured local artists and support their small businesses.
