Join us at Caraleigh Park on Saturday, June 14 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a free, family-friendly event celebrating the tactile public art coming to the park! Meet artist, Jean Gray Mohs, share your thoughts on the artwork, and help shape the project with your feedback. Enjoy cool popsicles and get creative with a hands-on paper art activity. All ages welcome—come be part of the process and the fun! This event is free to attend. Learn more about the Public Art at Caraleigh Park. Learn more about the Caraleigh Park Improvements.

Join artist, Jim Gallucci, for a scratch block workshop at Sertoma Arts Center. Participants will carve their own design into a sand mold that will be cast with molten iron during an iron pour event later this year. Jim will incorporate the completed iron blocks into his design for new art that will be a part of the Sertoma expansion. All materials will be provided. The activity involves scratching into sand, so be prepared to get a little sandy.   Register for the Scratch Block Workshop.

Join us for a final open house on June 26, from 5 - 7 p.m. at Tarboro Road Park Community Center (121 N. Tarboro Street, Raleigh).

Following the June open house, the Parks, Recreation and Greenway Advisory Board and the City Council schematic design will review the project design for final approval later this year.
