Killer Queen, a trendy wine bar nestled in the heart of Durham, North Carolina, played host to a vibrant art popup that merged art, bubbles, and conversation. The popup showcased over 60 Dolly inspired pieces from the talented pool of local artists, transforming the space into a dynamic gallery brimming with diversity and expression.

To complement the art, Brandon Chaney grilled smash burgers, offering a perfect pairing of art and food.

Guests had the opportunity to take home a piece of the local art scene, with 13 pieces finding new homes as a testament to the event's success. Killer Queen's art popup and bottle sale not only highlighted the talent thriving in Durham but also fostered a sense of connection and appreciation among art enthusiasts, reinforcing the wine bar's role as a cultural hub in the community.

The Dets

Featuring 100+ works of local and international art for purchase, performance by AZUL, chef-inspired vittles, and bar!

The former warehouse venue PS37 (600 Foster St., Durham) was washed in pink and transformed into the DOLLYWEIRD experience. Pieces were guest curated by the Durham Art Guild and party goers danced along to a performance (Dolly covers!) by queer Raleigh singer Azul Zapata who will used the pop-up gallery as her backdrop.

Participating visual artists were from The Triangle as well as Durham-England, Sweden, and Africa. Pieces included painted canvases, a skateboard, a ouija board, and a toilet-seat cover.

Fun hillbilly vittles (think walking tacos and plated Twinkies) by former Herons cook.

It was a Durham art show like downtown’s never seen!
