Seeking Artists and Musicians
photo kidnapped from the Scrap Exchange
We are currently in the process of collecting names & contact info for super cool, but underground, artists, musicians and business owners for the new and improved Artery Magazine. We’ve been working slowly on it for months thinking no one’s paid attention - but they have, and we’ve been getting emails, phone calls and other odd requests. Guys and gals in Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Raleigh and yes, even Durham. With the immediate reaction we’ve had from Durham residents I can’t understand why everyone is so down on the Bull City.
Sure, it has it’s share of problems, but we’re transplanted from Buffalo. Ever take a drive through the State Streets or the Fruit Belt after dark? Durham has quite a bit happening behind that dark curtain. For starters, I want to share an email, a same day response, from Ann Woodward down at the Scrap Exchange. “I am Buffalonian, and went to Buffalo State and grew up in Amherst! Love it here too… so welcome to the area, and glad that you will be reporting on Arts activity in Durham and Carrboro. I moved in 2004 from NYC, basically because it has a great quality of life, lots of cultural community activities, great/awesome people, 3 cities, and the Scrap Exchange!”
The Scrap Exchange is an amazing culmination of all things tangible to be used in creative endeavors. I have a feeling the new found storefront will be our main resource for handmade post supplies.
Also, Django Haskins of The Old Ceremony has attempted to woo us in the direction of Durham since we begun work on their website (to be launched this month!). We’ll find out next week when we dig in, grab a beer at Jame Joyce and pick some brains!
Please, email us, laura @thearterymagazine or laura @12grainstudio.com if you can point us towards things to do, places to go and people to chat about. More to come. (And some non-scary, gang-less photos that weren’t kidnapped.)
