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.
