Camp is on Foot for The Durham Farmer's Market |
|
|
Every Wednesday, campers in the Afternoon Adventure camp have the opportunity to visit the Durham Farmer's Market. By experiencing this community event firsthand, campers are given the opportunity to use critical thinking and practical life skills. Most importantly, however, the campers are able to eat good food and enjoy good music. If there's one word to describe Wednesdays with the Afternoon Adventure Camp, that word would be fun. |

"A Walk with Myself"- An Original Collection by Ji Ahn Kang |
|
|
Unfolded Stories an original piece by Ji Ahn Kang |
| |
|
The Triangle Community Foundation and the Durham Art Guild present “A walk with myself” featuring new works by Triangle-based artist Ji Ahn Kang. In this exhibit, artist Ji Ahn Kang gives viewers permission to slow down and take a walk with themselves. In doing so, hopefully they are able to find bliss in the beauty and stillness of nature. This collection reminds us that it is ok to take it slow and take in the moment. This exhibition is on view virtually at the Triangle Community Foundation’s website June 13, 2023 – January 15, 2024 (and beyond). VIEW THE VIRTUAL EXHIBIT AND RECEPTION INFORMATION: LINK HERE |
The Durham Art Guild presents Visceral Structures, featuring works by Sudie Rakusin, Holly Fischer, Susan Finer and Ivana Milojevic Beck |
|
|
“Dilemna” by Holly Fischer; “Woman with Persimmon” by Sudie Rakusin; “Weathering 6” by Susan Finer; “Umbilicus” by Ivana Milojevic Beck |
|
|
|
Ivana Milojevic Beck, Susan Finer, Holly Fischer, and Sudie Rakusin are four artists with distinctly different voices who all share the desire to push the boundaries of their chosen media and present work that challenges conventions by recontextualizing the familiar. Their work explores identity with the goal of breaking free from social constructs. These artists invite their audience to suspend disbelief, delve beneath beauty and surface appearance, and enter a world of transmutation and fluidity.
