Murals on Downtown Streeteries

Local artists are painting murals on downtown Raleigh Streeteries as part of a City-led initiative.  

What is a Streetery?

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

Artist on the project include 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. 

A Collaborative Project

The Murals on Downtown Streeteries is a collaborative project between the Office of Special Events and Raleigh Arts with vital support from the Transportation Street Maintenance team.  

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.
