Video of September 16 "Creative Bridge Design" Exhibit Opening

Attend a Community Forum During the DADA Creative Bridge Exhibit

Last night's "Creative Bridge Design" exhibit at the DADA Center was a wonderful introduction to the possibilities that the renewal of our transportation infrastructure can bring. Twenty-two local architects and artists have works displayed, and we will try to post some examples of their conversation-starting work here in future posts.

Because the exhibit space does not have regular hours but is usually available by appointment only, members of the general public will want to stop and see the showcase of Business 40 brainstorming during a series of one-hour community forums these next three weeks. The forums for discussion and presentation of design successes from other states will be led by members of the Arts Council's Public Art and Design Committee. Forums take place from 6:30-7:30pm at the DADA Community Center Gallery on 526 N. Liberty St in Winston-Salem on the following three nights: Thursday, Sept. 18; Thursday, Sept. 25; and Tuesday, Sept. 30. A final forum will take place during the October DADA Gallery Hop from 7:00-9:00pm on Friday, October 3.

If you are unable to come during these forum times and would still like to see the works before the end of the show, contact Sandy Romanac at sromanac@triad.rr.com to arrange a time for a peek.

Creative Bridge Design Exhibit Opens Today, Through October 3

The art exhibit "Creative Bridge Design" will take place Tuesday, September 16th and run now until October 3 at the DADA Center at 526 N. Liberty St. in the Downtown Art District in Winston-Salem.

The art exhibit is to inspire and motivate both the Winston-Salem Community and funders of the Business 40 Project to incorporate public art and creative design into the Business 40 Bridges. The presenting of local artists’ works and examples of innovative bridge design will be among the first visual models presented to the public and NCDOT for the Business 40 Bridges. It will be part of a dialogue in which the community, the Arts, and the State can work side by side on a large scale project that will heighten the city’s development and identity as the “City of the Arts”.
