WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS

The Durham Art Guild is more than a gallery. We are a community built around artists.

Your support helps us create the spaces and opportunities where artists can:

CREATE — access space, resources, and opportunities to develop their practice.

CONNECT — build relationships with other artists, audiences, businesses, and the broader Durham community.

EXHIBIT — share their work and have their voices represented in our galleries and exhibitions.

LEARN — participate in workshops, professional development, critiques, and conversations that strengthen creative practices.

GROW — find new opportunities to sell, teach, collaborate, and build sustainable artistic careers.

For 78 years, artists have helped shape the Guild. Today, we have an opportunity to shape what comes next.

HELP US KEEP MAKING SPACE

Whether you make a first-time gift, become a monthly sustainer, increase your annual support, or join us as a new artist member, your participation matters.

And during this campaign, your new commitment can be matched by an anonymous donor.

Give. Join. Increase. Become part of what comes next.
