Raleigh’s Smallest Park
A collaboration between Downtown Raleigh Alliance, Dix Conservancy, and Artsplosure
Mural by Gabriel Eng-Goetz 3D Installation by Katie Stewart
Located at 7 S. West Street near the intersection of Hillsborough Street, between Roast Grill and State of Beer.
”Inspired by Gabriel Eng-Goetz's mural, this installation was created by multi-talented, local artist Katie Stewart who reimagines Eng-Goetz's themes and color schemes in a three-dimensional, interactive context. The installation welcomes visitors of all ages, cultivates engagement with art and fosters connections within the community. It also pays tribute to Dix Park's past - embracing its present energy and projecting its future as a creative, communal hub.
This small park nestled in downtown Raleigh is an illustration of art's inclusive and transformative power; it presents a unique space for reflection, connection, and inspiration to be enjoyed by all.” - Downtown Raleigh Alliance
The materials used in Raleigh’s Smallest Park 3D installations are repurposed acrylic, sculpted hard coated foam, reclaimed astroturf, wood and scrap steel. Fabrication assitance from Courtney Evans of Tactile.
