Downtown Raleigh Alliance

Established in January 2000, the Regional Emerging Artist program provides emerging visual artists with time and space to explore their work in a supportive, thriving, artistic environment. Artspace grants two 6-month residencies per year, twice a year selecting an artist in his or her early professional career from a regional pool of applicants. From 2000-2004, eleven artists took part in the residency program; nine were able to participate in this exhibition: Laura Adams, Laura Hatcher Allen, Luke Miller Buchanan, Tisha Edwards, André Leon Gray, Stacey Kirby, Huong Ngo, Anna Podris, and Meredith Sutton. On view is the varied work produced by these artists, including paintings, sculpture, jewelry, installation, and more. Artspace, a thriving visual art center located in downtown Raleigh, brings the creative process to life through inspiring and engaging education and community outreach programming, a dynamic environment of over 30 professional artists studios, and nationally acclaimed exhibitions. Approximately 95 artists hold professional memberships in the Artspace Artists Association. Thirty-five of these artists have studios located at Artspace.

Artspace is open to the public Tuesday-Saturday (10 am-6pm) and on the first Friday of each month for the First Friday Gallery Walk until 10:00 p.m.

Admission is free; donations appreciated. Guided tours are available. Artspace is located in Historic City Market in Raleigh at the corner of Blount and Davie Streets. Cost: Free
