BLACK LIVES MATTER
PAY BLACK ARTISTS
BLACK ART MATTERS
Congratulations and thank you to NorthStar Church of the Arts for commissioning black artists to paint beautiful and impactful murals on plywood that temporarily covered storefronts in downtown Durham. The murals are being moved near Ninth Street Bakery as storefronts reopen. Donate to black artists.
