“ARTivity On The Green” is an art-themed park located on Liberty Street, between 6th and 7th Streets, in downtown Winston-Salem. It was conceived as an Art For Art’s Sake (AFAS) project, designed by the STITCH Design Shop, built by the Frank L. Blum Construction Company, and funded by the Thomas J. Regan Jr. Foundation. Construction started in December of 2014, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony was on May 9, 2015.

ARTivity On The Green expands the Art District and connects it to Innovation Quarter. It brings energy back to a section of downtown that had been forgotten, with features intended to inspire visitors visually and physically. The park features central water misting towers, a bandstand, a mural wall, and rolling grassy hills. All of this is lit at night, and the lights on the towers and bandstand change colors.
