Thinking about Durham

Hello Friends,
I mentioned this briefly the other day but I know someone who organized a program that brought George Rousse to Durham to do some projects in some of the empty buildings in the downtown area. link

It was very successful and a lot of people came out.

I emailed him today about possible alternative spaces in Durham where we could set up a gallery space for a month or so. He didn't know of anything that was free but he knew of a couple of spaces that we might could get for a fee (which hopefully wouldn't be too great). I am familiar with a couple of these spaces and they have given artists breaks in the past. Is anyone interested in pursuing this?

We could set it up to coincide with other openings and just open it up a few days a week for a month or so. I could maybe get our postcard at the desk at the Nasher and at Branch gallery.

Frank, who I asked about this, wanted to know about a time frame. Any ideas? sooner? later?

How much would people be interesting in putting in financially if we did something like this?

uh...i don't know
