smART stART 4 the ARTZ
The Durham Housing Authority Celebrates The Arts In Its Communities
With Its First "smART stART 4 the ARTZ" Exhibit.
On Tuesday, October 20, 2009 (from 6 PM to 8 PM), the Durham Housing Authority will host its first community-based art show, celebrating the dynamic and diverse culture of Durham. The 2009 kick-off event will be held at the Oldham Towers Community Center, located at 519 E. Main Street in downtown Durham. An advance media tour will take place at 5:00 PM.
Dedicated to providing public housing and supportive services, DHA promotes safety and family self-sufficiency, leading public housing residents to a better way of life. In Durham and the Triangle region, art has found a place in all of our homes and is playing a major role in rebuilding the Bull City. Reaching out to the larger community through art, the smART stART 4 the ARTS exhibition seeks to provide a new opportunity for some of Durham's lesser known artists, including James McCullough, a DHA employee. Artists will be available to the media for interviews during the media tour from 5:00 to 6:00 PM in advance of the show.
The artists showcased (some residing in Durham's public housing communities) range in ages from teenager to adult, and will feature oils, abstracts, fashions and much more. While various pieces will be available for purchase (through the vendor), the event is free, open to the public, and includes a reception featuring light refreshments.
