Arts & Culture, Moore Square Redesign Competition in Raleigh NC

With all the growth and new residents arriving each month here in the Raleigh NC area it's so refreshing to know that the city planners are at the top of their game with the planning and development taking place for Moore Square.  The goal - to re-design and incorporate the park with the art community.  Watch this interview with Sarah Powers, the owner of Visual Art Exchange, to learn more about the role that Moore Square plays in the arts community. 

Moore Square located at S. Blount Street is one of the few places we have where residents of downtown Raleigh NC can enjoy a park like setting for picnics, throwing the frisbee, or just relaxing on a blanket on a warm summer day.  Those who work downtown can take their lunch to the park or go for a brisk walk to get some fresh air.  If you're a visitor with kids, the park offers fun thing to do like  the marbles kids museum.

Planned events such as 1st Friday, The Visual art exchange, movies, and festivals all add to the fun that Moore Square brings to us in downtown  Raleigh.  And since Raleigh is the capital of North Carolina there's plenty of museums and places to explore around the park as well.

So the competition is on for young designers and local firms to get involved in the groundswell taking place in Raleigh to meet the city's goals to develop sustainable growth and incorporate Moore Square Park, the  arts, and the growing downtown Raleigh NC area. 

I'm so proud to a resident of beautiful Raleigh NC with her tree lined streets, rich history, and vibrant growth!
