Raleigh Arts is excited to announce the artists who have been selected to create Artwork for the Bus Rapid Transit Stations along New Bern Avenue. Nine artists will design glass windscreens for the stations:
- Leslie Bartlebaugh
- Jane Cheek
- Max Dowdle
- Shawn Etheridge
- Mayanthi Jayawardena
- Georges Le Chevallier
- Alberto Ortega

Artist David Wilson will create railings for the stations, and poet Johnny Lee Chapman III (image above taken by Sarah Demuth) will create embedded poetry and artwork within the concrete of the stations along the corridor.
All eleven artists are currently working with local historians and the community to gather inspiration and will be working on concept designs that they will begin sharing with the community this Spring.
