Do you miss Charlotte SHOUT!? You can still see elements of our beloved festival around Uptown. ❤️ The captivating art installation, “Xyzzy” by @superdaftbros is now featured inside @themarketat7thst! Previously showcased in @cItshout’s Eggs on Parade, this mesmerizing piece has finally landed at the Market! Xyzzy (pronounced ziz-zie) is an interactive experience like no other. Inspired by early video game cheat code and designed as an ornate arcade machine, it captures hidden gems of Charlotte, resembling Fabergé Eggs, under its honeycomb matrix. Don’t miss your chance to witness this extraordinary masterpiece! Visit the Market and immerse yourself in the magic of Xyzzy for a limited time only! #themarketat7thst #uptownclt #cltshout #superdaftbros #artinstallation
