About SEEK Raleigh
SEEK Raleigh is an experimental public art program by Raleigh Arts that engages the community through public art in City of Raleigh Parks, greenways, and/or community spaces.
Asian Joy Mural

This community-driven project celebrates the experiences and joy of Asian Americans in North Carolina. It explores the intersection of Asianness and Southernness, highlighting their impact on the well-being and community of Asian Americans. Learn more.
The Grid Project
The Grid Project is a Raleigh-based arts collective comprised of artists Daniel Kelly, Jean Gray Mohs, Pete Sack, and Lamar Whidbee. Over the course of a year, the project will feature exhibitions, engagements, and workshops, utilizing donated indoor and outdoor spaces. Its goal is to cultivate a vibrant, inclusive, and supportive art scene in Raleigh, providing artists with opportunities to experiment and interact with the public and one another.
Brood Awakening
Katie Stewart and Jay Ross, a Raleigh-based creative team, collaborated to bring the community a unique medley of art, environmental education, and culinary experiences. Their interactive art walk of native wetland flora, fauna, and fungi inspired by the vibrant ecology of Southeast Raleigh’s wetlands at Walnut Creek Wetland Park will be open until November 3. Join us to celebrate nature, education, creativity, and community, complete with exciting events and delicious food!
Taylor Allison
Taylor Allison's SEEK Raleigh project is a soft sculpture inspired by the Carolina Lupine (Thermopsis Villosa), a native herbaceous perennial with upright clumping bulbs. The flower's base will be bare in the beginning, but the audience will perform the “blooming” by placing small, separate bulbs of their choosing into open slots of the tall base sculpture during the performance on November 16.
La Ceiba
Martín Wannam's SEEK Raleigh Project "La Ceiba" was displayed in downtown Raleigh on Sept. 15 at La Fiesta del Pueblo.
"La Ceiba," inspired by the sacred tree, is a 50-foot pink and yellow inflatable with a futuristic haze that aims to spread radical hope and evoke childhood memories and celebration for immigrant communities and queer folks in North Carolina.
