Sertoma Arts Center Capital Improvements
Sertoma Arts Center Capital Improvements
As part of the 2022 Parks Bond Referendum, Raleigh Parks is excited to announce the start of the Sertoma Arts Center Renovation Project. Funding has been allocated for community engagement, design and permitting, and construction.
What Improvements Are Happening at Sertoma Arts Center?
Sertoma Arts Center is located in the heart of Shelley Lake Park in Midtown/North Raleigh. The center offers a variety of classes and workshops ranging from painting and drawing to fitness, movement, and performing arts. In addition, Sertoma Arts Center hosts exhibitions in multiple gallery spaces, manages several studio spaces with professional artmaking equipment and is involved with accessibility in the arts, community outreach and youth education.
This project will update the center to address building improvement needs and expand the existing arts center to address the center’s growing program demands.
Current Project Status
The Sertoma Arts Center is now in the Schematic Design phase. Public input events were held on October 22nd, 2024, January 14, 2025 and March 27, 2025. This project will be presented at the upcoming Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, which is open to the public, on April 17, 2025.

Sertoma Public Art -Scratch Block Workshops
Join the Sertoma Improvement Project Public Artist artist, Jim Gallucci, for a scratch block workshop at Sertoma Arts Center. Participants will carve their own design into a sand mold that will be cast with molten iron during an iron pour event later this year. Jim will incorporate the completed iron blocks into his design for new art that will be a part of the Sertoma expansion. All materials will be provided. The activity involves scratching into sand, so be prepared to get a little sandy.
