Raleigh Iron Works, a mixed-use innovation hub, is launching a public arts initiative called the Collision Project. This project provides creatives with site-specific opportunities in Jamestown’s real estate portfolio and is part of their joint venture with developer Grubb Ventures.

The initial installations feature murals from Durham native Gabriel Eng-Goetz and Raleigh natives Morgan “MCK” Cook and Taylor White. In 2024, spoken word artist Johnny Lee Chapman III of Fuquay-Varina will perform the Raleigh Iron Works creed “Iron Code” to an audience live onsite.

Michael Phillips, President of Jamestown stated: “We want Raleigh Iron Works to be a backdrop and platform for creativity; The Collision Project fosters experiential art while facilitating areas for co-creation within the built environment.” He continued: “Through this project we hope that our space becomes a canvas for emerging as well as established artists across various disciplines.”
