This event is organized by the Durham Arts Council, a nonprofit that serves our local community. Other nonprofits that will be represented at the event include: Bike Durham, Durham Ballet Theatre, Durham Community Chorale, and Sister Cities of Durham. 

The Durham Arts Council benefits the community in many ways, including:

  • providing classes in the literary, performing, and visual arts (from toddlers through seniors)
  • working with public and private schools to provide artist residencies designed for the classroom
  • helping professional and amateur artists and arts organizations produce dance, literary art, media, music, and visual art 
  • raising public and private funds to support the arts in the Durham community
  • providing grants, information and networking for artists and arts groups

In the heart of Durham’s historic downtown loop (on Main, Chapel Hill, Morris, Market, Corcoran, and Parrish Streets in the Five Points and CCB Plaza areas), celebrate arts at the amazing Centerfest. Not only does this support the local art community, the people who attend have a great time! Stay at Morehead Manor Bed and Breakfast while you attend this fun local event.
