SUMMARY:Murder  Mystery Dinner: Death By Disco
DESCRIPTION:The Town of Apex will be hosting a “mysterious” event at the Halle Cultural Arts Center\, when It’s A Mystery performs “Death By Disco\,” an original “whodunit\,” while you dine on killer cuisine. \nWe’ll take you back to 1977\, when you’ll be a spectator at a high stakes disco dance contest sponsored by ShowTown Records. This could make someone a star… or it could be someone’s last dance! \nYou will encounter Dana Winter\, the disco diva and aspiring singer; Vinnie Vinucci\, her dance partner with many moves; Damian Moonrock\, the popular disc jockey; Tanya Terrell\, the country singing sensation; Marie Aquanette\, the dancing hairdresser; and Sylvester Wolfe\, ShowTown Records label exec. \nIf a dastardly deed should be committed\, you’ll be called upon to question the suspects and formulate your own notion of “whodunit” and why. \n“Hustle” and reserve your spot at the contest now. It should be an evening to die for. \n(1970’s attire encouraged\, but not required!) \nYour ticket includes a full dinner of gourmet pizza\, curated salads\, and dessert; So come hungry for both great food and juicy intrigue.

SUMMARY:800 – Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:There are approximately 800 million people living in extreme poverty today. As a percent of the global population that’s roughly 10%. That percentage 100 years ago was closer to 60%. We should work toward ending extreme global poverty to increase people’s opportunity to realize their innate human potential. This would increase global stability\, commerce\, and innovation\, while reducing human suffering. \nTo gain a sense of the scale of the 800 million people currently living in extreme poverty today\, artwork in this exhibit uses installations in sculpture\, video\, augmented reality\, and print\, to show pieces exploring sensations of space and form through agglomerations of 800. \nThis exhibit is a fundraiser for the Borgen Project. The Borgen Project is an advocacy organization for the global poor. They organize support and lobby governments worldwide for various bills to end extreme poverty.

SUMMARY:Artist/Curatorial Discussion with Sam van Strien
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Sam van Strien for a discussion about his solo exhibition on view at Artspace. \nJoin artist Sam van Strien and Artspace’s Creative Director Jonh Blanco for a discussion related to Sam’s solo exhibition A From This Valley We Soon Will Be Leaving on view at Artspace from August 6-September 27. \nFrom This Valley We Soon Will Be Leaving brings together drawings\, rubbings\, and prints by Sam van Strien that explore the lasting legacy of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)\, the sweeping New Deal program that transformed the Southeastern United States during the 1930s and 1940s. Through electrification\, dam construction\, and flood control\, the TVA transformed the region into a symbol of modernization and economic growth. Yet beneath this narrative of progress lies another history – one marked by displacement\, submerged towns\, and the erasure of homes\, lives\, and memories. \nRather than being a lecture\, our artist discussions invite the audience in for a shared small-group conversation. We will take a careful look at Sam’s works\, use visual thinking strategies to interpret\, and discuss some of the following topics: \nWho benefits from large-scale development? Who pays the costs?\nHow do we remember the places and structures that are no longer here?\nHow does our built environment influence our collective memory and sense of heritage?\nWe welcome anyone to the discussion\, regardless of your knowledge of art or the exhibition’s themes. \nAbout Sam van Strien \nSam van Strien is an artist and professor based between Bloomington\, Indiana\, and Durham\, North Carolina. He earned his MFA from Ohio State University and a BA from Central Saint Martins at the University of the Arts London. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Architecture at Indiana University Bloomington\, teaching in the interdisciplinary J. Irwin Miller Architecture Program. \nSam van Strien is a visual artist whose work examines the relationship between architecture and capitalism\, exploring how these forces shape our built environment. Through research and studio-based practice\, he employs techniques such as rubbings\, laser-cut engravings of photographs\, and drawings sourced from archival records. Sam’s work is a document and visual remnants of our urban landscape\, questioning whether the essence of architecture can truly be captured through mediated images\, or if it exists only as concrete matter – as a place we can touch and see. \nvan Strien’s work has been exhibited internationally at venues including The Koppel Project (London)\, Keumsan Gallery (Seoul)\, and the Knoxville Museum of Art. He has received support from Arts Council England\, The Netherland-America Foundation\, and Indiana University Bloomington\, and has completed residencies at Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts\, Vermont Studio Center\, and USF Verftet (Norway). \nAbout Artspace \nArtspace is a non-profit visual arts center located in Downtown Raleigh.

SUMMARY:Where Sunlight Lingers: New Paintings by Gayle Stott Lowry
DESCRIPTION:Gayle Stott Lowry’s new exhibition “Where Sunlight Lingers” draws from her recent travels through Southern Italy\, where ancient limestone structures and crystalline light sparked a fresh body of work. The paintings capture the warmth of coastal villages and the quiet dignity of architecture that has endured for thousands of years.
