The Opening Reception for Indelible: Tattooed Ceramics at Claymakers Gallery is a collaborative art exhibition in Durham showcasing forty ceramic vessels decorated by twenty regional tattoo artists. This event brings together two distinct local creative communities to raise funds for the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina through art sales and raffle tickets. If you are planning to attend, the gallery is located at 470 Salem Street in Durham, which has street parking nearby. The reception runs from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, and while admission to the gallery is free, you will want to bring some cash or a card to enter the raffles for pottery classes and tattoo credits. This exhibition is best suited for parents and older children or teenagers who can safely navigate a gallery filled with delicate, breakable ceramics. This is a smart weekend pick because it offers a quick, culturally rich outing that supports a vital local hunger-relief organization. It is an easy stop to make before grabbing dinner in downtown Durham, giving your older kids a taste of the local creative scene.
