Sun-drenched and LEED Silver-certified, the Raleigh Convention Center is home to stimulating design, inspiring culture and superior service. The center is host to a variety of public exhibitions, festivals and shows each year—all surrounded by museum-level arts and crafts on display. In fact, an entire side of the building is a dazzling piece of public art—the Cree Shimmer Wall. A thriving downtown and over a thousand luxury hotel rooms are just steps away. It is truly a center that defies convention.
