Art On The Greenway Ride Series - Ride #2
2025-09-27 10:00 - 12:00 | NC Museum of Art, 2110 Blue Ridge Rd, Raleigh, NC, 27617
Join Oaks and Spokes and Raleigh Arts for three fun and social group rides to help shape the future of public art on Raleigh’s greenway system. These rides are part of an ongoing effort to identify where and what kinds of art could be added to make our greenways more vibrant, welcoming, and reflective of our community.
Along the way, we will visit or discuss several potential locations listed in the City of Raleigh Greenway Master Plan as priority sites for public art. These include sections of the Reedy Creek, Crabtree Creek, Little Rock, and Walnut Creek Trails. At each location, you can share your ideas about what types of public art you would like to see, such as tunnel murals, sculptures, wayfinding features, decorative fencing, infrastructure murals, or pathway art.
You do not have to pre-register to participate. Just arrive at the starting location by the posted start time for each ride.
The pilot list of locations includes areas like the North Carolina Museum of Art Blue Loop to Blue Ridge Road, Industrial Drive to Atlantic Avenue, and the Little Rock Trail between Davie and Cabarrus Streets, among others. These sites were chosen for their visibility, community connections, and potential to create unique experiences along the trail.
Whether you ride the greenway daily or visit it occasionally, this is a chance to explore it in a new way, imagine how art could enhance the space, and contribute to decisions that will help shape the greenway’s future.
Water and snacks will be provided, but participants should come prepared with their own water, sunscreen, and clothing suited to the weather. Please bring a safe and working bike, scooter, Onewheel, or other personal electric vehicle if you plan to ride.

What’s GIS, and Why Does It Matter?
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) help us better understand the world around us. This tool helps us understand and visualize information based on location. It is like a smart map that can do more than just show you where things are. It can also tell you what’s happening there, how things are connected, and help people make better decisions.

Discover how state and local governments use GIS to tackle everyday challenges and explore cutting-edge GIS technologies.

What to Expect:

Hands-on learning stations

Live technology demos

Cool mapping tools in action

A chance to chat with GIS professionals
