And Greater Raleigh is celebrating with 31 Days of Art, which culminates with ARTStober: an arts open house at the Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts. Artstober is a great way to sample many of Greater Raleigh's artful offerings all in one place.

These interlinking facilities are a cultural centerpiece of downtown Raleigh, irresistibly blending entertainment and convenience for convention-goers and visitors alike. Come experience the energy of the arts for yourself!
