Join Liberty Arts for a night of art-making, poetry, hearts and beats in Durham Central Park. Everyone is invited to celebrate creativity, community and connection. Let’s find out how much we heart Durham through love in art!
Liberty Arts Pop-Up: We Love Durham takes place Friday, February 21, 2025, from 6 to 9 p.m. It starts at the BC Remedy / Measurement Inc. Building, 423 Morris St., in what Liberty Arts hopes will be its new home, a community arts education center.
This is a free event, but includes some arts opportunities that have a cost to them.
Express Your Love: Learn to draw a picture of Major the Bull and craft your own love letter to Durham. (Love Durham, by Discover Durham in partnership with Downtown Durham, Inc., encourages us to show our Durham pride out loud.
