ARTivity on the Green

Winston-Salem, NC

“

Rarely has a project been completed ON TIME & ON BUDGET. This was the AFAS Group’s experience with this team. Their CREATIVITY & PROFESSIONALISM is second to none. Their interpretation of ARTivity on the Green was a winner, so much so that they were the only team considered to develop our next project.

Urban Design Urban Park

The $2 million urban park opened in 2015 in downtown Winston-Salem, complete with towering red “smokestacks” that release clouds of water vapor. The .5 acre park, ARTivity on the Green, also includes an artist performance shelter sculpted from silvery steel bands. It sits between the city’s Arts District & the Innovation Quarter. Paying tribute to the city’s industrial, tobacco-and-textiles past, the park features faux smokestacks & use of metal— including steel benches that resemble sawhorses— which also features sodded berms for lounging or picnicking, a mural wall & red lines painted on the sidewalks. The park was funded by a private grant & spearheaded by Art for Art’s Sake, a local nonprofit.
