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.

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.
