Join us for drinks and hor d'oeurves in honor of Barkley Hendricks, Duke artist-in-residence, and the "Drips, Caps & Flicks" exhibition artists!

Best known for his life-size portraits of people of color from the urban northeast, Hendricks' eight-week residency at Golden Belt will come to a close on November 24. On this special Third Friday, you will have the opportunity to view the "Drips, Caps & Flicks" exhibition while you meet and mingle with the artists, listen to tunes from DJ SPCLGST, and celebrate the thriving art scene in downtown Durham. Artists will have open studios with their work available to view and purchase!

About "Drips, Caps & Flicks"
In an exhibition partnership with Raleigh's Flanders Art Gallery, "Drips, Caps & Flicks" includes works by southeastern artists Tane Addington, Owen Beckmann, Mathew Curran, Bart Cusick, Joseph Giampino, André Leon Gray, Fahamu Pecou, and Derek Toomes. Each of these participants has matured under a society in which hip hop culture – and some of its coordinating elements such as graffiti, break dancing, rapping, and DJing – has long been a mainstream force. These elements have gone on to intimately influence their artmaking sensibilities, and they incorporate the graffiti and hip hop aesthetics and media into their processes. Stencil art, screenprinting, documentary photography, wheat paste postering, and spraypainted canvases offer a sampling of the many ways in which acts like street tagging continue to evolve into and be adapted by the fine art world. Additionally, conceptual pieces by artists such as Pecou and Gray consider the effects that the legitimization of these cultures has on this new generation of practitioners.
