A new art movement is underway in Napa. It’s transforming a semi-industrial stretch of our city into a contemporary cultural corridor. It’s exchanging white cube walls for cinder block canvases. It’s joining an international collective of communities asking, what would happen if we allowed artists to reimagine the forgotten walls, alleys and intersections of our cities?
RAD Napa is a place, a project and a message. A new, two-mile long outdoor art gallery where the Napa Valley Vine Trail and Napa Valley Wine Train meet. A collaborative of everyday citizens, business leaders, city officials and artists who believe in the generative nature of public art. An organic evolution of ideas, opportunities and culture. A proclamation that the surest way to transform a community for the better is to invite artists, makers, artisans and visionaries to create a radically different future.
This isn’t just a community beautification plan. This is RAD Napa.
A RADICAL VISION OF TRANSFORMATION
We believe that public art is generative. When art moves into the neighborhood, creative momentum courses through the community and it transforms for the better.
