POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The @boardinghouse_arts is open y'all.

Once upon a time there was a tiny second story art gallery called The Carrack. On some crowded nights it felt like hanging in the bend of a wild river: swirling with intrigue, startling gestures and sparkling truths. Many deep relations and indelible creations spawned in that little Durham eddy current. It was a moment. And then came the Great Distancing and the inertia of drifting downstream.

It’s easy to believe that nascent art scenes fade and seldom return, especially when the price per square foot keeps climbing, putting a premium on straight line safe bets and blah, blah, blah boxes. These compounding years have conditioned some resignation, which is maybe why there was such a collective surprise to be back together with so many familiar freaky fishes for the opening of @boardinghousedurham this weekend. The swirl was intense after such an interlude, no? I loved how we took care and little breaks on the side.

It's really here tho, at the end of Orient, tucked in next to the abandoned tracks, with a history as colorful as the exterior. Like the Carrack before it, this dreamy third place / studio space is no natural phenomenon, but the result of deep dedication and bold creative risk taking, including wrestling with actual waterways. Thank you Laura and Shirlette for continuing to believe and asking 'can we build the space our (growing) community deserves?'

Kudos to all the supporters, makers and dreamers involved, including @strider_haynes for the beautiful reimagining a building while keeping it radically true to itself.

Catch you round the bend?

✨ Clio Art Fair May 2026 ✨

This May, Clio Art Fair returns to Chelsea, New York with two dynamic editions, bringing together a global community of independent artists exploring identity, materiality, and lived experience.

Featured in this selection:

🎨 Jaye Alison Moscariello @jayealison responds to inner and external landscapes through a multidisciplinary practice. Her work reflects environmental, political, and personal narratives shaped by a lifetime of creative exploration.

🎨 Hamid Johannes Mahmood @humanenergylife draws from his background in fashion and cultural hybridity, merging design, identity, and lived experience into a contemporary artistic language rooted in movement and global influence.

🎨 Rafaela Costa @artbyrafaelacosta explores themes of migration, identity, and resilience. Her work is deeply informed by psychology, lived experience, and a profound shift toward presence and creative urgency.

🎨 Oana Stirbu @stirbu_oana creates immersive, sensory environments where art becomes a space for healing and connection. Her practice bridges eco-psychology, material transformation, and embodied awareness.

🎨 Meg Stein @meg.stein.art uses ceramic sculpture to explore embodied healing and our connection to the natural world. Her work blends organic forms with emotional and ecological narratives, inviting reflection and transformation.

“For me, a juried show is about cultivating a dialogue. This exhibition also posits a call to action, asking visitors to reflect on what catches your eye and speaks to your soul – please take a moment to linger there. My hope is that these works also invite the vital curatorial voices we rely on to continue to offer the context that mediates these important artistic voices and the work they create. I look forward to the Durham Art Guild continuing to platform artists, curators, and the community in this important dialogue.” - Colony Little @cultureshockart
