Dish It Out
P HOTO G RA P H Y B Y R OBERT ZIMMER MA N
More than 750 people came out for the Satellite Park Festival in April, hosted by Mural Durham. Out of the 30+ local artists who applied to paint a mural on the defunct satellite dishes on the grounds of the Duke Arts Annex at 404 Gattis St., eight were chosen to create their designs. The celebration featured the artists in action, and festivalgoers had the opportunity to screen print a tote bag with DukeCreate, try out hands-on painting activities, enjoy food truck eats and music by DJ Shazhad, and watch student performances. Anyone is welcome to visit the park – open sunrise to sundown – and Duke will offer one free community arts workshop a month at the Annex in the fall and spring semesters. More info can be found at arts.duke.edu/dukecreate. 16
