Big Night in for the Arts The Orange County Arts Commission, in a partnership with Durham Arts Council, Chatham Arts Council and United Arts Council, hosted a watch party on March 9 at The Mayton Inn in Cary for their regional fundraiser broadcasted on WRAL. Guests enjoyed drinks, hors d’oeuvres and a live musical performance from Grammy-nominated country music artist Rissi Palmer. This event also featured interviews with stick sculpture artist Patrick Dougherty and the Chatham Rabbits, among other performers. The evening raised over $180K, which will aid the local nonprofits and culture organizations in their post-pandemic recovery efforts. Photography by John Michael Simpson CHM
