Walking on Color – Street Art Walk

Public art, whether it’s graffiti or park sculpture, can often act as a city’s visual voice. What does Raleigh have to say?

This Street Art Walk starts at CAM on Martin and West and meanders through the Arts District then up towards Nash Square. Along the way, you’ll see and learn about colorful murals, street art, and sculptures. You’ll also be invited to interact with others and reflect upon how creativity transforms our lives and what it means when a city’s creativity is impacted, empowered, or stifled.

This week’s guide is Julia Snyder, Raleigh artist and local art supporter. Julia was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and earned a degree in Engineering Science. During and after college, she traveled to Europe and discovered her passion for the arts. She realized that her soul needed to be refreshed by the artist’s viewpoint and was determined to keep the arts in her life. While she raised her children, she volunteered as the Cultural Arts Chairman at her children’s elementary school. Working with the United Arts Council’s Artist in Schools program, she helped bring the performing, written and visual artists to children.
