Our Vision
The Pedestrian Art Program is a public sculpture program intended to serve
as an economic, cultural, and visual stimulus for New Hanover County region.
The non-profit organization, CreativeWilmington, in partnership with the
City of Wilmington Downtown Services, and Mayfaire Town Center has selected
sites in the Central Business District (CBD) of downtown Wilmington and
on Mayfaire Property to make art accessible to the general public.
Sculptures are placed at:
- Two on Riverwalk, at the entrances to the scenic walkway along the Cape
Fear riverfront
- The Historic Post Office on North Front Street
- The Corner of 3rd and Chestnut
- Bijou Park located on the 200 block of North Front Street
The outdoor sculptures selected for exhibition will demonstrate a wide
range of artistic styles, themes, and mediums, and they will challenge
viewers’ concepts of space, form and imagination.
The Pedestrian Art Program views public art as integral to a community's
fabric by recognizing the potential of art to create livable cities, enhance
neighborhood identity, strengthen economic development and tourism, educate
children and adults, and enrich the spirit and pride of its citizens.
