The AAA Four Diamond JB Duke Hotel invites guests to settle into an evening of art, cocktails and elevated hospitality with the return of Artful Evenings, an artist-in-residence series curated in partnership with the Durham Art Guild. Each Tuesday, the hotel’s contemporary Lobby Lounge takes on the atmosphere of an intimate working studio, offering a rare opportunity to experience original artwork coming to life just steps away. The experience is designed to be savored at a leisurely pace. Guests can unwind beside the fireplace with a handcrafted cocktail while enjoying shareable plates and seasonal entrées from the Lobby Lounge menu. Blending the energy of an intimate gallery with the ease of a refined night out, Artful Evenings offers a sophisticated way to connect with art and the creative voices shaping the Triangle.
