City of Raleigh issued the following announcement on August 4.
A Collection of Changes is an exhibition that focuses on works by artists that reflect our city and the surrounding areas' diverse communities. Over the past few years, Raleigh Arts and the City of Raleigh Arts Commission have recognized the importance of selecting artists and artworks that align with the City’s vision for racial equity and inclusion. By supporting artists of color and those that identify as having a disability, a primary goal for the Municipal Art Collection is for viewers to find representation and shared experiences within the collection and exhibitions.

Greeting all visitors to the Upchurch Government Complex, the gallery’s marble walls and elegant staircase provide an ideal setting for showcasing original artworks.
