A Meeting Place...
Durham Arts Council is a meeting place for the community. Each year we host several special events for the public in and around the DAC building. These range from CenterFest - when more than 60,000 people attend North Carolina's longest running street arts festival, to the Emerging Artists Grant Award Ceremony when we note the achievements of 15-20 local artists with cash grants and a reception where the public can meet the recipients.
Durham Arts Council's Dinners a l' art series presents a rare opportunity for you to celebrate some of Durham's most acclaimed artists, remarkable homes, landmarks, and favorite chefs. Dinners a l' art succeeds as a benefit for the Durham Arts Council because of the generosity of individuals and organizations who donate 100% of the resources and services to make these dinners possible. We are tremendously grateful to the featured artists, hosts, chefs and sponsors listed throughout this invitation. Please peruse the list of dinners and select the event you wish to attend. You can mail in your reservation form with your payment, or you may call (919) 560-2707 for Reservations. DAC accepts check, Visa, and Mastercard (50% of the ticket price is tax deductible - you will receive an acknowledgement letter). From the entire DAC Board of Trustees we wish you bon apetit!
Durham Arts Council partners with the City of Durham Parks & Recreation Department to produce the semi annual Durham Art Walk in downtown Durham. The walking tour of impromptu galleries set up in artist studios and downtown businesses, concerts and activities, offers a unique shopping experience on the third weekend in November and the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival weekend in April. The November 2007 was a great event--save the date for the spring--April 5-6, 2008!
On May 2, 2006, the Durham Arts Council celebrated the Durham area corporate launch of its strategic partner for event and sponsorship services, The Special Event Company, with a spectacular gala entitled The Art of Events and featuring performances by Nnenna Freelon, Chuck Davis and the African American Dance Ensemble, The Durham Children’s Choir, The Triangle Youth Ballet and Mallarme Chamber Players, all of whom have received funding from DAC. Please visit the online photo gallery to view select photos from this one-of-a-kind event, flawlessly produced by a talented team led by The Special Event Company, in partnership with Designs By Sean, Mitchell’s Catering and American Audio Video. Our gratitude and special thanks to all of the performers and the entire event production team who each donated 100% of their services to make this special event possible. Additional production support was given by BK Design, Special Event Rentals, Ice Occasions, Les Todd Photography, Merge Films, the Carolina Theatre and Daisy Notes + Paper.
