Portraits of Durham

Who or what represents Durham to you? The Durham Arts Council is asking visual artists to submit work that captures the spirit and diversity of the Bull City. Selected pieces will be included in the upcoming exhibit “Portraits of Durham,” on view at the Durham Arts Council March 15 – May 2, 2019.

Why now? The “Portraits of Durham” exhibit will coincide with Durham’s sesquicentennial, marking the City of Durham’s 150th anniversary of incorporation in April 2019. The official sesquicentennial commemoration, called Durham150, will recognize Durham’s past, present, and future with a year of events, activities, and community engagement. @durhamnc150 honors the changemakers who shaped Durham’s unique sense of place, promotes ideals of inclusiveness and shared prosperity, and envisions a thriving, dynamic community into the next century.

For detailed information about submitting your work for consideration, download the informational PDF here https://bit.ly/2TddNUv, or email Susan at stierney@durhamarts.org. Deadline to submit is Friday, February 22; there is no fee to apply.
