About the Project

The City of Raleigh plans to feature public art at Fire Station 15. The new site is located directly beside the Anne Gordon Center for Active Adults as well as Millbrook Exchange Park and Millbrook Magnet High School. The surrounding sites are heavily used by the public and the artwork will have visibility from patrons as well as by commuters along Spring Forest Road.

Potential artists for the project should consider how the artwork could be placed along the large Western exterior wall that faces the active adult center or along the sidewalk at the driveway entrances to the station. Art may be stand-alone or mounted on the building and will be designed to engage both drivers and pedestrians.
