Mixed Media drawings by Skully Gustafson, on view at Attic 506
Debuting this second Friday of March (March 12 6-9pm) at our space at Attic 506 : Two mixed media works by artist Skully Gustafson ‘Ride on Butterfly’ and ‘Connectors’ which both appear in The Concern magazine issue 3, out now. These works will be up through the end of April.
Skully is currently based in Chapel Hill.
“My current work is centered on paintings that mix figuration and abstraction as a way to represent identity and the fluctuation of the self. I juxtapose images, symbols, and figures to show the way individuals are influenced, fortified, or defined by meanings outside themselves. The identities in the work shift from ideas of public presentation and private constructions, the way an individual is many different and overlapping people and performs, distorts, and shifts between personas.” - Skully Gustafson

These temporary, experimental projects are designed to introduce the public to new, diverse, and thought-provoking experiences as well as create opportunities for artists to extend their creative practice.

"The Richmond Book Art Fair culminates in a day-long fair featuring artists’ book makers, zine makers, and independent publishers. The theme of the 2019 Richmond Book Art Fair is Power of the Press, highlighting the power of the book, printing and publishing to tell previously untold narratives and highlight marginalized voices in our community. The role of the press is at the forefront of our civic dialogue, and this event empowers community members to harness the power of the press and highlight the capacity of individual citizens to create and process media."

Held monthly, the Patchwork Market has been a consistent event the first Saturday of each month indoors at Fullsteam Brewery. In effort to continue to grow and provide opportunities for the creative development in the Durham community, larger and more frequent markets are being added to the schedule. The monthly April, August, and December markets will now be held at the Durham Armory with over sixty vendors participating. All markets are held indoors at either Fullsteam Brewery or the Durham Armory and are free for the public to attend!
