Tepper Sports & Entertainment, in partnership with Charlotte Is Creative, is inviting photographers to submit qualifications (RFQ) for inclusion in a curated coffee table book celebrating the landscapes, people, and perspectives of North and South Carolina.

This project aims to capture the essence of the Carolinas by highlighting the region’s diversity, culture, and identity through photography. Selected photographers will have their work featured in a high-quality published book, as well as in a broader visual campaign. This campaign will integrate across digital screens at Bank of America Stadium and the new Experience Center, in addition to marketing and promotional materials such as social media, web, and press. 

· Open Call: April 1-15

· Selected artists will receive $1,500 and will be notified by April 30

Durham FRINGE, presented by the Carolina Theatre, is a bold new 10-day festival (October 30–November 8, 2026) where artists will transform storefronts, businesses, alleyways and green spaces. The festival fuels both artistic innovation and downtown economic growth, celebrating Durham as a city where creativity and entrepreneurship thrive.

Durham artists working in theater, dance, music, visual art, and the literary arts will be invited to create new, experimental, and accessible works that audiences can see nowhere else but Durham. From bars to bookstores, to rooftops and alleyways, audiences will be invited inside and outside to experience Durham in a completely new way.

Durham FRINGE celebrates the spirit of artistic risk, community collaboration, and the local economy. Artists are invited to apply for project support (ranging from $500–$10,000) and work directly with businesses and local technical production companies to produce their performances or installations. With advertising and ticketing services through the Carolina Theatre, artists, businesses, and audiences will benefit from centralized communication and festival navigation.

Whether you’re an artist ready to experiment, a business eager to connect, or an audience member craving something fresh—Durham FRINGE is your invitation to imagine, play and belong.
