CBS17 News: Revitalizing History: Affordable homes and art unite in Raleigh’s Idlewild community

We're proud to be featured in CBS 17’s new story on the Idlewild project—where history, housing, and public art come together in one of Raleigh’s most meaningful neighborhoods.

As Carly Jones, President & CEO of Artspace, shared:

“We want to make sure that we’re using art to reflect the history so rich and deep in this area, but also to guide the future.”

With 18 permanently affordable homes on the way and a public art installation shaped by Idlewild residents, this partnership is a model for how cities can preserve both place and purpose.
