Wake Forest's Blackbird Brewing is bringing its beer to downtown Durham
Wake Forest's Blackbird Brewery is opening a taproom in downtown Durham's Unscripted hotel , taking over the space formerly occupied by Pour . Why it matters: The move introduces a new local spot for drinks and food downtown looking out onto CCB Plaza. State of play: Blackbird plans to begin selling beer this month in the Corcoran Street space. "A rolling opening is what we're calling it," Blackbird co-founder Harmony VanGundy says, laughing as she adds: "We still have no money. We need to sell some beer to make things happen." Because what they do have is product — a wide selection of beers brewed in Wake Forest — as well as permits, furniture and taps on the wall. Hours are not set, but Blackbird in Durham will "for sure" be open for the downtown tree-lighting on Nov. 21 and for other holiday events in December. What they're saying: "I just hope Durham likes us as much as we like them. They're tough, man. Tough crowd there. They kicked out Dampf BBQ real quick," she says with a laugh. Durham's beer drinkers have advanced palates, she tells Axios. "We're excited to have a space that when we make a smoked

Basquiat and Banksy exhibit to open at NC Museum of Art. See it for free.
Two world-renowned contemporary artists, whose graffiti and street art broke into the mainstream, will be on display at the North Carolina Museum of Art. The exhibit, titled Basquiat x Banksy, pairs Jean-Michel Basquiat’s “Boy and Dog in a Johnnypump” and Banksy’s response, “Banksquiat. Boy and Dog in Stop and Search.” It’s part of a national tour which brings the work out of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC, where they’ve been on display for the last two years. “We are excited to bring these two incredible works together for NCMA audiences,” said Interim Director and CEO Katherine White in a news release. “The show invites visitors to make connections between two artists whose ideas and artwork have shaped contemporary visual culture while exploring questions of identity, power and popular culture.” The exhibit will open on Sunday, Nov. 22 through Sunday, May 30, 2027, in the East Building at the North Carolina Museum of Art, and it’s free to the public. “Basquiat’s creations dismantled how the art world viewed late 20th-century painting and American art in general,” according to the museum. “The work’s genesis from urban graffiti and a hip-hop aesthetic was the stuff of modern mythology.” “Boy
