Artist - David Wilson, Apex, NC

North Carolina artist, David Wilson will impact the glass windscreens in 6 bus shelters along Beatties Ford Road between I-485 and LaSalle.  The artist has visited the project site and met with members of the Historic West End community to research ideas relevant to the local neighborhoods. He will also visit JCSU to meet with faculty and students to learn about the University's impact on the community.
