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 colorful wall 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 Greg Whitt. He’s an award-winning facilitator and arts-educator teaching applied philosophy through music in corporations, congregations, communities, and classrooms. Greg is founder of the Raleigh Drum Circle and hyper-active in the local arts community. He is also a graduate of NC State University and holds a graduate certificate in Transformative Leadership from the Maryland University of Integrative Health. He has called Raleigh home since 1986. You can find him online at www.drumforchange.com, in a hammock, or perhaps behind a brew of one sort of another in locally-owned establishments throughout the city.
