We are very excited to have been featured in a recent article by The 9th Street Journal, an online news publication based in Durham, NC that reports on local North Carolina stories, art, and culture. The article, written by Jothi Gupta, details the origins of 5 Points Gallery, the roles that our member artists play in running our cooperative gallery, and includes interviews with several of our member artists.
“To Yuko Nogami Taylor, 10 is the ideal number: not too many artists struggling for attention, and not too few paying the bills. As a founding member of the 5 Points Gallery in downtown Durham, Taylor has been there since the beginning. She was there when they had 12 artists, and she was there when they had eight.
Known for its local art and diverse, contemporary collection, 5 Points Gallery is also an artistic cooperative made up of 10 local artists. Without a gallerist or manager to rely on, each artist must be more than just a creator. The artists have become financial planners, marketers, designers, and salespeople.”
