The Durham Arts Council, Inc. is a catalyst in the cultural development of Durham – it leads, inspires and promotes excellence in and access to the creation, experience and active support of the arts for all people of our community. A can’t-miss spot for art lovers includes the Durham Arts Council, a local hub for arts and culture. Stroll through award-winning exhibition galleries and their sculpture garden with seasonal floral plantings. Steps away, you’ll find the two-story Durham Civil Rights Mural painted by more than 30 community members.
