Durham Arts Council

Description

We are a private nonprofit dedicated to supporting the arts in Durham and the Triangle Region in North Carolina. OK, so how does Durham Arts Council "support the arts"? We help professional and amateur artists and arts organizations produce music, theatre, dance, visual, media and literary art. We help residents and visitors find, enjoy and participate in the artistic and cultural events available in the community. We manage the Durham Arts Council Building, a city owned, multi-purpose community arts center in downtown Durham, North Carolina. We operate The Clay Studio, a warehouse studio facility located at 546 Foster Street -- just a few blocks from our main facility. We program classes in the performing, literary and visual arts for toddlers through seniors. Some of these classes are held off-site in private studios. We work with public and private schools to provide artist residencies designed for the classroom. We raise public and private funds to support the arts in the community. We provide grants, information and networking for artists and arts groups. We provide exhibit space for visual artists. We produce CenterFest, Durham's annual street arts festival, the third weekend of September. We produce Edible Arts Festival of Food & Art each June.
