"Artful Evenings" Artist in Residence series
Tuesday evenings, January 14 to April 1, all artists will begin at 6pm
We have partnered with The Durham Art Guild for “Artful Evenings” Artist in Residence series to take place every Tuesday from January 14 to April 1 at the JB Duke Hotel. This live activation will feature a rotation of six local artists in the Lobby Lounge, where they will work on their art while engaging with guests. We will feature artists with different mediums for variety, and each artist will appear twice, so guests can see the progression of their art over time.
