Abstract:

The painting of A.R. Ammon’s “Salute” on the side of the Dandelion Market was inspired by wall poems in other cities. The project, a vision shared by locals Amy Bagwell and Graham Carew, was made reality through the assistance of students from Piedmont Community College. Since their project was unveiled, wall poems have been painted on other buildings in Charlotte’s West 5th Street area.
