The Cater Building artists launched the first Annual Community Palette Mural
June 4, 2011.
Raleigh: My Dream City is the theme of the new community mural at the Carter Building in Raleigh.
The Carter Building artists shared a palette with diverse members of the community on Saturday June 4, 2011. Participants were given the freedom to explore the painting process while being guided by resident artists.
The mural was sketched onto the vinyl canvas by Lee Ball and Tunde Afolayan prior to the event and color maps were on hand to aid the painters. At first some people were hesitant saying, “We don’t want to mess up the mural!”. However, they quickly learned an important fact about the creative process: there is no such thing as “messing up”. Happy accidents become a part of the creative experience. Within a few hours, brush strokes, splashes of color, movement of lines, and textures began to come alive.
It was a great day as more than 60 individuals, including children, families, artists, local politicians, and passers-by, participated in the exciting, fun-filled creative experience. The mural measuring eight by twelve feet was complete within eight hours. The finished mural will be installed on an exterior wall of the Carter Building.
Rick Bennett, a Carter Building Resident Artist characterized the experience: “What an amazing day at the Carter Building! You could feel the creative energy in the air. Everyone participating had so much fun. The mural is fun, colorful and captures the story of the Carter Building Community. I am so excited to be associated with such a talented, imaginative, accomplished, hard working community of artists.”
The Carter Building, located at 12-22 Glenwood Ave in Raleigh, NC, houses the studios and businesses of more than 75 creative professionals. An eclectic mix of artists, commercial photographers, design studios, boutiques and yoga are all located under one roof.
