Owens Daniels – Artists make bus stops brighter in Winston-Salem

Artworks member Owens Daniels is featured among 12 Winston-Salem artists in a “citywide art gallery by making art for bus stops from south on Peters Creek to north on University parkways, and from west on Country Club Road to east on Waughtown Street.”

The Artistic Bus Shelter Program was organized by the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Public Art Commission to improve the experience of riding the bus for people who use the Winston-Salem Transit Authority.

Find a map and more information at the Winston-Salem Journal article about this project.

“Intended as an experiment in socially distanced engagement, this installation was collaboratively designed by patrons and passersby of Bus Stop No. 47615. Community Design Studio (CDS) provided a blank canvas with an invitation for anyone to make their mark. …”

In a statement, the Community Design Studio folks explained what they are working on: “Spring and summer of 2020 have challenged us to explore new ways to engage our diverse community in placemaking. Our installation is as much about the process of creating public art as it is about the resulting artwork for the bus shelter.
