So, we are having a little get together in Durham.
Come to Triangle ArtWorks Durham Mixer!
Triangle ArtWorks has been busy busy busy these last six months, as our work is really starting to take off.

Taking Triangle Theater Forward – A Guest Blog by Jerome Davis
ArtWorks Guest Blogger- Jerome Davis
I’ve been going to the Under the Radar Festival in Manhattan for the last several years. It is organized by and largely run out of the downtown citadel of off-beat theatre, the Public on Lafayette Street and LaMama just a few blocks away. Over the last 8 years I have seen theatre companies from Belarus, Argentina, Japan, Holland and Belgium, England, Italy and even Austin, Texas. I’ve seen theatres from across the 5 boroughs, too. What I haven’t seen, alas, is any representatives from the southeastern United States (sorry, Austin, you don’t count). This has worried me for awhile. … Read More

Documentary Team in town tonight to learn why the Triangle is Creative….come tell them!
Have you ever thought about what in particular it is about the South, or the Triangle, that makes it such a creative place. Well, three “self-proclaimed creatives” are going to spend the next month finding out just that.
As explained on their website, “Something in Particular is a full-length documentary being filmed at over 13 locations across the Southeast and an accompanying interactive website. Both will chronicle the people and organizations driving creativity in the South today.”
This team kicks off its journey with a stop in the Triangle TONIGHT and has already set up many interviews with local people doing creative things from film to food. But in an effort to meet as many different people in the area as possible, from as many disciplines as possible, they are asking people to come meet them TONIGHT at Visual Art Exchange (309 W. Martin Street, Raleigh) at 6pm. They will be filming the events to get some general shots and sound bites from those interested in sharing a piece of their story. … Read More
