Raleigh rallies around House of Art.
When local pillars falter, Raleighites always pull through—it’s in our DNA. On Jan. 7, tragedy struck when the beloved eclectic House of Art was devastated by an early morning blaze that took 30+ firefighters to extinguish. While no one was physically hurt, the building was all but unrecognizable—leaving locals from all walks of life to mourn the “nontraditional museum” and bar built on and known for its “all are welcome” MO.
Those feelings of loss and defeat, though, quickly turned to hope as Raleigh and surrounding communities rallied to raise the funds to rebuild—from a dozen-act-led benefit concert at DTR’s The Pour House to a Durham V-Day party at The Fruit inspired by House of Art’s annual celebration to a March 2 dinner and silent auction at Knightdale’s Haven Farm. NTM the whopping $30K the cause’s GoFundMe has already raised as of press time. And on the shoulders of a community that truly uplifts its own, now, the house—which doubles as a home to so many—looks to be in full bloom again soon.
