Start your day with breakfast at A Place at the Table. Be sure to pay it forward and buy a meal token for someone less fortunate. Did you know downtown Raleigh is home to more than 140 pieces of public art? Round out your morning with a self-guided tour of murals and sculptures throughout the city center.
Next stop – North Carolina Museum of Art. In 1947 the NC State Legislature appropriated $1 million to purchase a collection of art for the people of North Carolina, an unheard of feat at the time. Explore the exhibits in the East and West Buildings, then take a stroll in the outdoor sculpture park.
Head back to the warehouse district for a visit to CAM Raleigh, a non-collecting museum of contemporary art that provides an environment for transformation through educational programs, cultural experiences, and bold, non-traditional exhibitions by living artists. Top off the evening with a meal on the rooftop patio at Jolie, a lively French bistro in our own backyard.
From museums and heritage sites to galleries and theaters, there’s no shortage of ways to immerse yourself in art and culture.
