The Arts District of Charlotte, NC comprises of areas named The Arts District, NoDa (short for "North Davidson") and Plaza-Midwood.

It is located in the North Charlotte neighborhood on and around North Davidson Street and 36th Street, approximately one mile northeast of Uptown. Formerly an area of textile manufacturing and mill workers' residences, the area has also served as a center for the arts. The name "NoDa" was coined by architect Russell Pound. The neighborhood is known for its funky art galleries and colorful bungalows. In addition to old mill houses, NoDa has seen a boom in residential construction in the past few years.

Beginning in the late 1980s gallery owners began promoting gallery openings with bimonthly Friday events which include music, street theater, food and drink, drumming, homemade television, multimedia presentations, and other activities.

Plaza-Midwood was first established in 1910 as a streetcar suburb of Charlotte. The Oakland Land Company was responsible for the layout of the roads within the neighborhood. Through the Great Depression, Plaza-Midwood would thrive, before its decline commenced in the 1950s. By 1975, the Plaza Midwood Neighborhood Association was established to protect and preserve the neighborhood.

Since the mid-1990s, the area has seen a dramatic comeback as reinvestment has transformed once dilapidated homes into funky urban dwellings. It continued redevelopment has spilled over into other surrounding neighborhoods, and resulted in the overall renaissance of the former inner-ring suburbs of old Charlotte.
