New artwork is coming to downtown Raleigh! Twelve local artists will soon paint colorful murals on downtown streeteries.
A streetery converts on-street parking spaces and is typically located outside of a business. Streeteries provide outdoor seating for the patrons of the business during its hours of operation.
Over the last two years, nine city-funded streeteries were deployed in the downtown core and more are expected to be installed in 2024. At times, the streeteries have been vandalized with graffiti tags. In an effort to bring more art to downtown Raleigh and deter future vandalism, the City is working with local artists to paint the wooden structures.
Mural Artists
The local artists who will be creating murals are SpclSigns, Alison Hawkins, Clark Hipolito, the team of Ray and Jun, Zac Bender, Sean Kernick, Anna Payne Rogers, Dino Valentini, Sarahlaine Calva, Britt Flood, and Matt Mahler.
Stay tuned for additional details on artwork locations and when murals will be installed.
A Project of the Office of Special Events
The Murals on Downtown Streeteries is a collaborative project between the Office of Special Events and Raleigh Arts. The Hospitality and Nightlife team in the Office of Special Events issues streetery permits.
Through interdepartmental coordination, permitting, on-site management, and hospitality solutions, the Office of Special Events champions the creation of inclusive experiences that celebrate the City’s identity and make Raleigh a destination for entertainment.
