Celebrate Six + Pin Durham

Please join us for an exciting celebration (Celebrate Six) and a unique art project (Pin Durham), all in one night!

Celebrate Six:

Mercury Studio is six months old! We can’t believe that only six months ago, we were planning our launch party. Since then, we’ve not only provided community work space, art space, and event space, but we’ve started hosting free events: Third Friday receptions, film screenings, and art salons. We’ve built and are still building valuable relationships within the Durham community and we couldn’t be more excited to see what the next six months will bring. Thank you so much to our members and supporters for making all of this possible! By asking our attenders for $6, this event will help us to continue to host free events and keep costs down for our members!

Pin Durham:

Inspired by Dart St. Louis, this exciting new Durham art project will happen as follows:

1. Any Durham creative can sign up for the activity ahead of time or at the party for $26, which includes admittance!
2. During the party, each participant will be given a pushpin and a blindfold. At this point, the situation will begin to resemble Pin the Tail on the Donkey. We will blindfold and spin each participant and then send them toward a large map of Durham. They will stick their pin, and wherever it lands is their spot.
3. They will adopt their spot as a muse and let it inspire them to create something. All media are accepted that can be shown in our gallery.
4. The pieces created as a part of Pin Durham will be submitted February 8th-10th and will appear in a month-long group show which will open in the Mercury Studio gallery on the Third Friday in February.

As you can see, this is going to be an event that you will not want to miss. Have we mentioned food, drinks, and a DJ?

Be there. RSVP here. See below to register in advance for Pin Durham!
