what is the exchange project?
The Exchange Project is Visual Art Exchange's art education project and intensive artist residency program for two Wake County Alternative Schools. VAE worked with students from Raleigh's Mary Phillips High School (MPHS) and Longview High and Middle School (LV) and Raleigh artist Eric McRay to create a mural for City Market in downtown Raleigh's Moore Square Art District.
VAE has focused this project on Wake County's Alternative Schools because of the significant need these students have for curriculum enrichment, particularly in the arts. The project will give opportunities to the artists, students and to the community who will enjoy the finished product and will emphasize learning in, through and about the arts.
"This project allows students to make a unique and positive connection with the community as well as help make the City Market a vibrant and exciting destination for the citizens and visitors of the city of Raleigh."
