CAM/now, Golden Belt and The Cotton Room at Golden Belt are proud to announce the inaugural Triangle Arts Mixer, an evening for arts organizations, arts supporters, and artists of all disciplines to mix, mingle, and find new ways to activate and advance the Triangle arts scene. The event will feature a broad network of area arts organizations and young professional arts groups ready to engage individuals looking to get involved, learn more or become members.
The free Triangle Arts Mixer will be held as part of Third Friday Durham, hosted by Golden Belt, CAM/now, and The Cotton Room. The evening will feature music by dj Yes! sputnik, light food, and a cash bar in the spectacular, newly-opened event venue—The Cotton Room.
