Two years after local officials and citizens began talks about restoring a popular public work of art in downtown Winston-Salem, the project is finished. A public unveiling and related events are set for the first week in August.
Winston-Salem s Memory Wall of Peace and Love
The âMemory Wall of Peace and Loveâ faces the sidewalk on the east side of Trade Street between Fourth and Fifth streets, adjoining an uncovered parking lot behind the Campbell Public Transportation Center. It was created in 1999 by Gregory Warmack (1948-2012), an internationally acclaimed, African American artist most often known as Mr. Imagination. He made the piece on commission for the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art and the Winston-Salem Transit Authority.
