the scrap exchange: grand reopening [09.10.11] & scrap-a-go-go dance party [07.30.11]

that’s right! a picture-heavy double post about the scrap exchange. the scrap is one of my favorite places in durham. it’s a creative reuse center designed to supply high-quality, low-cost materials for artists, educators, parents, and other creative people. i get many of my packaging materials from the scrap. 

they recently had to move twice after their previous location at the liberty warehouse was condemned. the community jumped in to help out and they’re in a huge new space at golden belt, they still need funding to cover moving and building expenses. if you’re feeling generous please donate here.

the first half of these images are from the scrap’s grand reopening ceremony this past weekend-featuring the eno mountain boys, the bulltown strutters and bill bell, durham’s mayor. the mayor even led the marching band through the building! i put my own marching band skills to use walking backwards to make some of these photographs (NERD ALERT!).

here are some images from the scrap dance party. there was an aerialist, and performances from the wusses and scene of the crime rovers, another marching band. what can i say? durham loves a marching band.

the scrap really knows how to throw a party! i love being in a town full of so many creative people.

[as always, i’m available for events and such-contact me!]
