dix park mural activations
The City of Raleigh seeks to hire three to four artists or artist teams to create temporary large-scale murals and/or wall-based installations at Dix Park. Each artist/artist team will receive $20,000 to create a mural or installation.
About the Project
As part of the ongoing renovation of Dix Park, multiple buildings have recently been decommissioned and their first-floor windows have been boarded up. Artists are asked to envision how they might create bold and impactful murals or wall-based installations that could cover both the facades and boarded-up windows of these buildings. This could include creative attachments of 3D-elements or thoughtful strategies around painting all boarded windows (even if the mural doesn't span the entirety of the facade).
Timeline
Artists will be selected by March 2026. Final art should be installed by Summer 2026.
