We loved this post last week from HYPERALLERGIC about the hidden oases of art in NYC. They even made a great little google map!  We thought it might be cool to create our own hidden art oasis map for Charlotte!  Tell us where your favorite piece of art is off the beaten path or out of the public eye… email happeningsclt@gmail.com or post on our facebook or tweet to us @happeningsclt or hashtag your instagrams #happeningsclt & #CLTartoasis.

Here are a few of our favorites right in the uptown area. Tell us more and we will make a map of Charlotte’s hidden gems!

The Sculpture Deck at the Bechtler Museum. Germaine Richier, Woman Grasshopper, 1946 (bronze).

The Carillon building featuring Jean Tinguely’s Cascade (1991) and Sol Le Witts Wall Drawing #683 (1991).

Bank of America Corporate Center Lobby with three Frescoes by Ben Long (1998).

Carolyn Braaksma’s Fish Fountain on the Green which has work by 7 different artists.
