Winston-Salem
Rocks
We're thrilled that Wells Fargo has chosen to work with Arts for Art's Sake to bring the Winston-Salem Rocks public art project to
our community.
Winston-Salem Rocks is a program made possible by Wells Fargo, in collaboration with Art for Art's Sake, to promote and support
the arts. We're pleased to present this collection of oversized rocking chairs that have been designed by local area artists.
These rocking chairs will remain on display through mid-November. Afterwards, they will be put up for auction with the
proceeds donated to Arts for Art's Sake. We hope that this shared experience between the artists and the community will
continue to strengthen the bond.
