Unity Project 

2020-2021
Picture
The sculpture entitled “Unity” is a 12’ tall papier-mâché sculpture that was created by and painted by children in Craven County. The representation of two hands represents the unity and strength of our community when working together, and draws from the imagery of the local “Unity” mural on Broad Street.

Peace by Piece

2021-2022
Picture
Peace by Piece is Craven Arts Council & Gallery’s second project in their Art in Public Places program. Art in Public places is a new initiative to create large-scale community centered public art pieces, made by the community for the community. Peace by Piece volunteers have helped fold 1000 origami cranes to be installed on a former billboard pole in Five Points behind Crema Brew. Peace by Piece will be a long term art installation symbolizing our community working together for harmony and the diversity of our town inspired, by the legend of 1000 cranes popularized by Sadako and the 1000 Cranes.
