Kevin the Peacock Art Project

At a glance

• What: a community art project, proposed by two downtown workers, to memorialize Kevin the Peacock, described as Apex's unofficial mascot a few years ago, in a painting with a voluntary collection of names representing feathers.
• Where it stands: presented to Council in the public forum on May 28, 2026 by Carnecchia and Ziller. The core painting is being done by the owner of Red Canvas, and the organizers are open to working with students from Apex Friendship, Green Level and Apex High School. Council took no action.
• Next: none recorded.

The speakers used the project as an example of the engagement they asked Council to pursue downtown; the rest of their remarks are on Salem Street Streetscape Project, Downtown Christmas Parade and Downtown Streetscape Event Funding.
