At Camp North End, creativity is at the forefront of its design.
Developers call the 76-acre historic industrial site a “large scale adaptive reuse project.” With over 100 years of local history ingrained in the campus, it’s a place where the past seamlessly melds with the future.
Around every corner, repurposed sculptures and massive murals adorn the old warehouses and sidewalks.
Camp North End will soon unveil its 106th mural at the site.
The latest design is by Charlotte artist Matt Moore — one of the first mural artists to contribute to the space.
Smith says mural artists serve a unique role at Camp North End. As a public-facing artform, he says they often contribute to the sense of community the site aims to cultivate — sparking conversation and inspiration in those who pass by.
“I think that this place is just kind of awe-inspiring,“ Smith said. ”I think that anybody who comes here is kind of just blown away by the scale of the site.”
