We've only been here during the Durham Third Friday Artwalks so we can't say what it's like at other times. There is a little store/display area and then workspaces for several artists. We mostly remember pottery pieces but there were also soaps, prints and more. It's a little bit further out than most Art Walk venues but worth a trip.

Tiny gallery in the Durham downtown loop that actually houses Through This Lens gallery and frame…read moreshop. The actual Arts Place is located on the second floor of the building, up a rickety and squeaky flight of that looks like it's seen better days and into the atrium of a building with multiple private off-shoot rooms. This atrium area is used as a gallery for the twenty+ artists that rent this "affordable artist studio space." Surprisingly, the space has been around since 1996, but it feels much older than that with the lack of upkeep and generally griminess of the area. What could be an artists delight could also be an interior designers nightmare. The upstairs gallery (properly named "Durham Art Place Gallery) is open to the public most Third Fridays for Durham's Art Walk and is curated by artists exhibiting the works of Durham area artists and others. Lucky for you, appointment can be scheduled to view the gallery by calling 919-491-4625, although to be honest, there's really no draw for me to return unless I grew to know one of the artists being exhibited. With so many more well rounded and welcoming exhibits in the area, Durham Arts Place doesn't need to be high up on your "to visit" list.

Headshots were scheduled with Richard the photographer at this studio in Wake Forest…read more Immediately I noticed the clean and comfortable environment as I set out my extra change of clothes. Richard has a calming presence which helped me relax in front of the camera. We took a range of photo options, from sitting, walking, and standing. He designed this space for photographers, creators, and small business owners to rent out for their use and I would highly recommend.

Wow, what a great setup for headshots in other photography needs. Cool idea that Anthony has…read morestarted allowing other businesses and creators to come in and create great natural light images.

It was supposed to start at 6 pm, but the lady waited and waited for people who didn't even end up showing up. We had to wait almost 20 mins before we could get started, and I didn't think that was a good decision for those of us who showed up on time. They included champagne in the tiniest cup. Luckily, we don't drink, so it didn't matter so much. They also gave us a tiny box of V-Day candy. It was a sweet gesture. All in all, we really enjoyed ourselves. They should put something in place that if people are late, they will need to reschedule, get a credit for future use, or forfeit their money. We shouldn't have to wait over 20 mins to get started. I recommend them. Just be sure to bring your own drinks and snacks/food.
