Abstract:

In April 2015, the Durham Co-Op Market—a community owned and locally sourced grocery store—opened in Durham. Originally, the board of directors planned to allow employees to purchase shares in the company, but the board is considering revoking this benefit. By offering employees the opportunity to buy shares, employees are guaranteed representation on the board, which board members fear may cause clashes in business operation.

Abstract:

NC Comicon began in Durham in 2010 and has grown from a small comic book show to a large convention in just five years. As the convention has grown, so has its organizers, who have learned how to support area comics retailers rather than see them as competition.

Abstract:

Duke University’s “From the Archives” series pairs musicians and composers with archival materials stored in Duke’s Rubenstein Manuscript and Rare Book Library. Over the past year, North Carolina band Hiss Golden Messenger, has created an album to bring to life the images found in William Gedney’s photograph collection. The collection inspired a new stage show in addition to the new album, both entitled Heart Like a Levee.

Abstract:

In 2010, Greg Lowenhagen started the Hopscotch Music Festival, which takes place in downtown Raleigh annually. Cicely Mitchell wanted to implement a similar concept in Durham, and in 2014 held the first Art of Cool Fest. Both of these music festivals highlight North Carolina musicians, bring people together, and boost the economy in two of the Triangle’s urban spaces.
