Improving the quality of life for all North Carolinians

Inclusive Public Art: In Progress Projects

The Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation (ZSR) Inclusive Public Art Initiative announced a second cohort of nine projects in June 2023. Explore each project by clicking on the thumbnails below.* All projects are scheduled to be complete by early 2026.

ZSR is excited to partner with PBS North Carolina to capture the experiences of all nine grantee partner communities as they navigate the process of telling these important stories through public art. In May 2022, PBS North Carolina premiered Visibly Speaking, a series documenting the first cohort of inclusive public art grantee partners.

*For simplicity, each thumbnail lists only the name of the grantee partner; however, each grantee is one of many community partners that are engaged in each project. Partners are listed on each project’s page and represent the ways in which authentic partnerships and resource-sharing are part of the initiative.
