CenterFest Arts Festival is the longest running outdoor juried arts festival in North Carolina. Located in Durham's lively Downtown District, the event is a favorite among visual artists, performing artists and visitors. In 2012 CenterFest relocated from the Central Park District to the City Center as the result of an extensive community planning process. Annual attendance averages 32,000 guests.
New this year: A new Emerging Artist program for 2017. Durham County artists who have not previously participated in CenterFest are eligible to apply to exhibit at a significantly discounted rate. We are excited to provide an opportunity for local Emerging Artists to participate in a major art event, with accompanying benefits of exposure, sales, and the chance to interact with other artists and potential patrons of their work. Selected Emerging Artists will be in a special section in the CenterFest footprint.
Marketing: CenterFest's expanded marketing campaign, employs media partnerships with radio, television and regional newspapers. CenterFest's support from the Durham Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Durham, Inc. and fantastic sponsors will continue to build regional response to this exciting event. A special VIP event for targeted art buyers and the Citizen's Choice Award will be featured again this year.
