Dear Durhamcommunity,
 
My name is Chris Chinchar and I am organizing a community art event entitled A 
Community Portrait of Durhamwhich will take place Sunday October 3, Noonto 4pmin 
Durham Central Park.  The purpose of the project is to create a dialogue about 
“What is Durham?” and to transform those ideas into a community work of visual 
art.  It is also an excuse to celebrate our diverse town and creative community 
with a neighborhood day in the park! 

 
An aerial photograph of the group adorned in blue and carrying art will be taken 
as the group assembles to form a mosaic of the Durhamcity flag. The final print 
will be exhibited in “ People Who you May Know: Contemporary Portraits” which 
opens on October 8 at the Durham Arts Council. Attached is a one page 
illustrated document (thanks to VC Rogers!) that tells of the event and how to 
participate.  We welcome your presence and encourage your creativity.
 
The project is also meant to be a fundraiser for the Scrap Exchange which seeks 
to purchase a permanent location in the Central Parkdistrict, increase capacity 
by expanding programming, services and jobs to the community. The creative reuse 
center's expansion plans include; construction and demolition waste collection, 
architectural reuse, job skills creation and training, design studio, as well as 
adding green spaces, outdoor meeting venues, and multi tenant shared spaces. 
 The Capital Campaign is underway!

I invite you to come by the Scrap Exchange on any Tuesday night in September 
from 7-9. We will be planning and making art.  The workshops are FREE , but 
donations are always welcome. We hope you will choose to join us and take your 
place within the portrait. 

 
Feel free to share the event and post flyer.  All are welcome!
 
Chris
