Colors, and colors, and colors
This Color Wall video was created Ginny Skalski, managing editor of the Raleigh blog, 30Threads. The music is “Colours,” by Hot Chip.

Just donated. Thanks for setting up this page. I’ve been fascinated by the wall since I was a freshman in 1974.
Joe’s course in color and light was a must for freshman in the school of design.
Its a beautiful sculpture based on the fact that mixing colored light is a subtractive process.
We are happy to donate some money for this cause.
Thanks for the update. Great memories of Joe’s color and light class in SOD. Would be happy to donate in memory of Joe.
Thanks so much for honoring Joe Cox by keeping his art alive. I was fortunate enough to be in Joe’s design class at SOD when he worked on this project, and have fond memories of Joe’s kindness and artistic gifts. I will definitely make a donation.
I am happy to donate. I am also amazed that the UNC system, NCSU, the library and the College of Design have allowed Joe’s iconic work to deteriorate to this point. Color Wall is one of the very first pieces of modern public art seen in Raleigh, and still among the best. I’m also amazed that the individuals running this noble effort must pass the hat for money to resurrect the artwork, while the entire UNC system lavishes money mindlessly on sports and other such nonsense. I guess the Philistines ARE always at the gate. Unless they’re already in our midst.

It would be so beautiful, yet my concern is the electricity. With the library running almost 24/7 and keeping almost all the lights on all the time, won’t it be an additional place to waste some more electricity? The question is not only the repair of the art piece, but also its cost. The university is running under a cut budget, and I suggest anything like this should be discussed by the student body and the school management before implementation.
