In 2019, more than 100 Winston-Salem residents came together to nominate neighbors, share community stories, and learn to make meaningful portraits of one another.
One sculpture, eight murals and a community exhibition to celebrate these new relationships will be unveiled on April 10, 2021.
You are invited to meet some of your neighbors and see yourself reflected. Together, we all participate in the diverse and intersectional fabric of Winston-Salem.
