Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University Four Wire Sculptures

YMCA
Abstract painter Odili Donald Odita has chosen the Foster Street wall of the Downtown Durham YMCA, 218 W. Morgan St., as the site for his monumental wall painting. Thank you to the Downtown Durham YMCA--and Durham leaders--for embracing this project! The Nasher Museum has commissioned the mural for Nasher10, a celebration of our first decade at Duke and in Durham.

SAVE THE DATE: On Oct. 10, we’ll dedicate the mural at a Nasher10 Block Party in downtown Durham. The mural will remain on view for up to three years.
