Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night

Sale of Joe Cox Paintings to Benefit Color Wall Restoration

 
Nine paintings by the late Joe Cox, noted Raleigh artist, color and light theorist and beloved long-time NC State College of Design professor, will be sold as part of an effort to raise funds toward the restoration of the famous Hillsborough St. landmark, Color Wall.
 
As readers of Goodnight, Raleigh! know, after three decades of ‘on again, off again’ operation, the Color Wall, which is  housed in the DH Hill Library, went dark for the last time nearly three years ago. Through the online effort initiated by Goodnight, Raleigh! last spring, and the generousity of donors, we are closing in on realizing our goal of a permanent restoration of Raleigh’s first significant work of public art.
