We’re excited to put Durham on the map of all-things-creative in the Triangle by bringing the AIGA Raleigh Studio Tour to Durham in 2015. On April 16, from 5:30-9 p.m., 13 fantastic studios will open their doors to the public. Companies will meet the community, and the community will get a peek behind the scenes of Durham’s creative agencies.

Durham is a vibrant town, from the entrepreneurial center of the American Tobacco Campus, through the arts’ Mecca of the Golden Belt, to the culinary scene that has earned the title of the “Tastiest Town in the South” from Southern Living Magazine. Durham is a down-to-earth place where creatives of all walks of life live and work.

A diverse group of creative companies will welcome visitors and share insights about their work:

• Letterpress printers: Brian Allen-Letterpress Printing and Shed Letterpress
• Design studios: Hey Monkey! Design & Print, and Kompleks Creative
• Web design and development agencies: Caktus Group, Cuberis, Smashing Boxes, and Viget
• Marketing firms: Engine Brandmakers, Method Savvy, The Paragraph Project, and The Republik
• E-learning design agency: Weejee Learning

Stay tuned! The self-guided Durham Studio Tour is free. We’re launching a dedicated website in early March with links to free registration; a Google map with agency locations, parking options, and biking paths; and a link to download of a hard copy of the map to help you navigate your way between studios.
