Visual and Performing Artists still wanted for Sunday on the Porch

SilverStone Gallery is looking for visual and performing arts members to be featured on the gallery porch Sunday afternoons during July and August, or if we get an overwhelming response, June to September.  

The porch is small (about 5' x 7') so musical groups no larger than trios are welcome to contact Gary Faulkner and artists with works-in-progress willing to demonstrate and chat with passersby are also encouraged to call or email. 

While you do have to be a PRAC member to participate, you do not need work currently on exhibition to participate in Sunday on the Porch. This is a volunteer project to help create awareness of the Gallery and the talented Durham artists.

Culture Days September 30, October 1 & 2

We are looking for someone to help with creating our Sunday, October 2 event for Culture Days at the gallery.
