We've only been here during the Durham Third Friday Artwalks so we can't say what it's like at other times. There is a little store/display area and then workspaces for several artists. We mostly remember pottery pieces but there were also soaps, prints and more. It's a little bit further out than most Art Walk venues but worth a trip.

Tiny gallery in the Durham downtown loop that actually houses Through This Lens gallery and frame…read moreshop. The actual Arts Place is located on the second floor of the building, up a rickety and squeaky flight of that looks like it's seen better days and into the atrium of a building with multiple private off-shoot rooms. This atrium area is used as a gallery for the twenty+ artists that rent this "affordable artist studio space." Surprisingly, the space has been around since 1996, but it feels much older than that with the lack of upkeep and generally griminess of the area. What could be an artists delight could also be an interior designers nightmare. The upstairs gallery (properly named "Durham Art Place Gallery) is open to the public most Third Fridays for Durham's Art Walk and is curated by artists exhibiting the works of Durham area artists and others. Lucky for you, appointment can be scheduled to view the gallery by calling 919-491-4625, although to be honest, there's really no draw for me to return unless I grew to know one of the artists being exhibited. With so many more well rounded and welcoming exhibits in the area, Durham Arts Place doesn't need to be high up on your "to visit" list.

Headshots were scheduled with Richard the photographer at this studio in Wake Forest…read more Immediately I noticed the clean and comfortable environment as I set out my extra change of clothes. Richard has a calming presence which helped me relax in front of the camera. We took a range of photo options, from sitting, walking, and standing. He designed this space for photographers, creators, and small business owners to rent out for their use and I would highly recommend.

My husband and I recently visited Gallery C for a date night, and it was one of the highlights of…read moreour evening. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by a staff member who was incredibly knowledgeable about both the gallery and the artwork on display. He took the time to share the stories behind several pieces and even invited us to stay for an upcoming artist talk later that evening. Unfortunately, we already had plans, but we'll definitely make it a priority next time. During our visit, Gallery C was featuring "Black Mountain College: Avant-Garde Art from the Experimental School, 1933-1957," an incredible exhibition showcasing works inspired by one of the most influential experimental art schools in American history. The collection offers a fascinating look at the artists, ideas, and creative spirit that emerged from Black Mountain College, making it a must-see for anyone who appreciates modern art and art history. The gallery itself is beautifully curated, spotless, and inviting. It truly feels like one of Raleigh's hidden gems. Whether you're an experienced collector or simply looking for a unique way to spend an afternoon, Gallery C is absolutely worth a visit. Parking was easy with street parking available directly in front of the gallery, along with a small parking lot nearby. We're so glad we discovered Gallery C and are already looking forward to returning for another exhibition and hopefully an artist talk next time.

I first heard about this studio from a parent of another kiddo in one of my daughter's track out…read morecamps. My interest was instantly piqued because I had been searching for art opportunities that didn't seem so basic for my young artist. Every other option (except one that pushed for full day when I wanted a half day opportunity) I had found offered for her age group before KidzArt had "cute themes" and was basically just drawing or painting on paper, nothing seemed special or specialized for that matter - I couldn't even find a class that offered basic sculpture with clay for my kindergarten kid! When I saw the course/camp offerings here, I was actually excited that this might be something that would work for my kid! There are TONS of different options for camps (both during the summer and for track out) for ages starting at 6 - the Town of Cary classes that seemed like they may draw in my child weren't available until she is 8 years old (the ones offered for her age group just seemed too basic for her abilities). I was thrilled to see that just after the studio opened and on my kiddo's track out there was an illustration and cartooning camp offered - perfect! So far, she has created a lot of great art: some in a sort of "wine an design" but for kids (without wine of course) style following the instruction of the teacher, and some free art of her own cartooning and illustration. There are many materials for the kids to experiment with here and an opportunity for free art time too. The owner and instructors are very knowledgeable about art and also work very well with the children of varying ages - they seem to genuinely care about the kids and get to know them. We also signed up for some classes here outside of the track out camp she is taking. The variety is great and my kiddo seems to find inspiration from the lessons as well as from the other kids in the class. I really wanted an opportunity for her to experiment with more materials and to learn some techniques she could apply to her own art - this studio provides exactly that! She's already learned some strategies with watercolor and shadow that have popped up in her other work (just like how after reading a specific book she will mimic the art style in her new art), and has requested time to work with clay which she hasn't ever really had a desire to do until now. She is really enjoying her experience at camp and definitely seems to be inspired by it! The studio itself is clean, open, and bright. The materials are well maintained, and it is overall a great place for young artists to grow! I'm excited to find more classes to continue to inspire my kiddo - she is also very excited to check out other themes here too!
