Centennial Celebration PHOTO BY JESSE CHEN
The Durham Regional Association of Realtors installed the 2022 officers and directors of the more than 1,750-member organization during its 100th-year luncheon at the Hope Valley Country Club in November. “As we embark upon our 100th year as an association, I look at all of the diverse and talented individuals who make up our association,” said 2022 President Shawn Hays, who was handed the DRAR’s historic gavel by 2021 President Karen Roberts. “… [It’s] what makes us stronger together.” Joan Austin presented the association’s historic milestones, recognizing her mother, Marie Austin, a pioneering broker who helped open up the industry for women in Durham, and C.E. Phillips Jr., the first licensed broker in the state. Funds raised at the organization’s October Benefit Auction to aid those in need of shelter were presented to Housing for New Hope and Families Moving Forward. DRAR members donated coats to Urban Ministries of Durham and food to Second Mile Ministry.

sparking joy and conversation since 1996 We are celebrating our 25 year anniversary, publishing books in a variety of genres (see our online bookstore), while both galleries display a series of engaging exhibits by some of the most outstanding artists from across the Southeast. Solo and thematic exhibitions on the ‘main walls’ are complimented by works from 60+ artists and craftpersons in a variety of media and across a range of price points. The galleries are great resources for soulful gifts, and when looking for inspired works to appoint a home. The PS118 stage hosts artist talks, literary readings, musical performances, and other salon events. Quarterly popups bring around guest jewelers, clothing makers, floral arrangers, furniture makers, and more.
