Description

Press release from the City of Raleigh: Dec 2, 2021 Make Your Mark is a series of interactive sidewalk murals in neighborhoods and parks throughout Raleigh. Much like a life-sized coloring sheet, the murals' empty areas encourage people to draw over and in-between the lines using the free supplies available in the small supply houses positioned at each installation site. The result is a more colorful piece of art that transforms with each person who interacts with it. The mural renews with rain showers allowing continued interaction over time. This project was created by artist Anna Totten(link is external) and carpentry business deft and level(link is external) with support from Raleigh Arts and Neighborhood Art Funds.
