  • Brief Description

    The City of Raleigh seeks to hire an artist to create public art at Method Community Park. As part of the 2022 Parks Bond, the City plans to:

    Renovate the existing historic community center to address needed improvements and community priorities.
    The Community Center is housed in one of only two surviving buildings from the multi-building Berry O’Kelly School. Also known as the Pioneers Building, it now serves as a community center at Method Park, a City of Raleigh facility.

    One of the project's goals is to highlight the rich history and diversity of the Method Community.

    The project timeline for planning, design, and construction of these improvements runs from 2023-2028.
