????????????CHARLOTTE – Resident Artist Wanted. While most apartment communities expect residents to pay a monthly rent, Hub South End is looking for an artist-in-residence to live rent-free in exchange for having their work displayed in community areas. So what does it take to be an artist-in-residence? Videographer Mark Borja says, “It’s been an amazing experience to connect with other creatives. My friend Jon Reed, bassist of the band Of Good Nature, recently came on board as another artist-in-residence and we’ve discussed how much we appreciate not just the space to live, but the platform and the physical space to bring local artists together.”
Like most of Charlotte, Hub South End is decorated by pieces from local Charlotte Artists and residents and art appreciators alike can find interesting pieces around every corner. Hub’s art canvas even extends outside, where streetgoers enjoy several art displays. The Hive by Grace Stott is an intricate, 95-square-foot mosaic that honors individuals involved in creating the Hub, as well as iconic Charlotte landmarks.
