Abstract:
The newest addition to the North Carolina Museum of Art’s collection of outdoor art is a functional piece of art. The Lowe’s Park Pavilion was designed by Mike Cidndric and Vincent Petrarca of Raleigh to be a work of art but also to be used, experienced, walked through, touched, and as a shelter. This sculptural pavilion offers Park visitors a beautiful sheltered place to stop, rest, and reflect. The appearance of the shelter changes with the time of day and light reflected off of it and it will be used by staff as a place for the outdoor teaching of art.
