Raleigh Iron Works Innovation Hub Launches Public Art Project
New mixed-use innovation hub Raleigh Iron Works is launching a public arts initiative. The Collision Project connects creatives to site-specific opportunities in Jamestown’s real estate portfolio, including Raleigh Iron Works, which is a joint venture of Jamestown and developer Grubb Ventures.
The initial installations include murals from Durham native Gabriel Eng-Goetz and Raleigh natives Morgan “MCK” Cook and Taylor White.
In addition to the murals, spoken word artist Johnny Lee Chapman, III of Fuquay-Varina will perform Raleigh Iron Works creed “Iron Code” to a live audience in 2024.
“We want Raleigh Iron Works to be a backdrop and platform for creativity,” said Michael Phillips, President of Jamestown. “Named for the role of spontaneous collisions in the creative process, the Collision Project fosters experiential art and facilitates areas of co-creation in the built environment. Through the Collision Project, Raleigh Iron Works will become a canvas for emerging and established artists across disciplines.”
