In partnership with the City of Raleigh, Artsplosure is proud to present the third annual Art Raleigh, held this year in conjunction with the fifth annual Raleigh Wide Open -- downtown Raleigh's largest one-day family friendly street festival. Be sure to visit the Raleigh Wide Open 5 website to check out all of the exciting activities, performances, and vendors that are part of Raleigh Wide Open 5.
Art Raleigh is a festival inside a festival -- a venue designed to showcase and recognize the area's dynamic visual arts scene and create an opportunity for art enthusiasts and collectors to sample the best that the city and state has to offer.
Art Raleigh 2010 will feature twenty-five of North Carolina's fine artists along the front façade of the Raleigh Convention Center, located at 500 S. Salisbury Street. In addition, four of Raleigh's premier fine art galleries will showcase mini exhibitions from their collections inside the front lobby of the Convention Center. Also in the Convention Center lobby, five of Raleigh's nonprofit performing arts organizations will present free concerts throughout the afternoon.
