More Examples
Here are a couple more views of Tryon, as observed from McColl Center for Visual Art. It's truly fascinating how different artists will perceive and recreate the same general scenery in their own unique way... pick up a packet and try it yourself!

A Little Inspiration...
Here are some sample drawings by staff members at the Center, as well as an example by artist-in-residence Rebecca Aloisio. As you can see, everyone's unique visions and artistic styles have created a wonderfully varied portrait of our city.

What is it?
The idea behind this project is to combine the viewpoints of many different Charlotte residents into a collaborative art installation at McColl Center for Visual Art.
Using Tryon Street as the starting point to look for participants (who might actually live or work several blocks away), this piece aims to observe and celebrate our fair city with a citywide drawing.
To participate, pick up supplies from one of the sites listed below. It's simple: we provide you with a transparency, marker and envelope. You tape the the transparency to your window that faces the direction of Tryon Street and using the permanent marker, carefully trace everything that you see. It will be unique to you and your surroundings. Once the ink is dry, mail your finished drawing to McColl Center of Visual Art and we will compile all the drawings into an installation piece. The exhibition will be revealed August 8th, 2009.
We encourage businesses and organizations to get involved! Email us with questions: tracesoftryon@gmail.com
