About the Project
The Journeyman’s Development Guild reimagines what creative infrastructure can look like in a growing city like Charlotte. At its core is a repurposed shipping container that has been transformed into a mobile, solar-powered cultural space. This intentional use of reclaimed material reflects a broader vision for sustainability, adaptability, and equitable access to the arts.
