NoDa: The Evolution of Charlotte's North Davidson Art District (1997) | VHS Documentary

A look back at Charlotte's NoDa neighborhood in the 1990s, when the former textile mill community along North Davidson Street was becoming the city's arts district. This locally produced documentary follows the artists, gallery owners, and residents who helped turn North Davidson into a hub for art, music, and nightlife. It's an interesting look at NoDa before the breweries, apartments, light rail, and redevelopment that have changed the neighborhood so much over the past few decades. The film was created by local artist Jerry Kirk, with financial backing from Jack Burke, and received a "Best New Video" award in 1997.
