Have you ever shot hoops on a work of art?

🏀 Next week, a 23-foot tree arrives at @dixpark , and every branch ends in a basketball hoop. It's Orange Functional, a sculpture by @AlexandreArrechea, and it's made to be played. There are 23 hoops, but you can only aim at one at a time. Pick your branch and let it fly! Misses drop to the grass like fruit from a tree. Come take your first shot at the opening celebration on Wednesday, Oct. 7, from 6 to 8 p.m. @packmensbball & @packwomensbball players will be there to break it in with kids from @wakejohnstonbgc and @RaleighParks. Tag the friend you're challenging to a game. 👇
