The Durham FRINGE Festival runs October 30 – November 8, 2026, bringing more than 50 local artists to over 20 venues across downtown Durham. Presented by the Carolina Theatre of Durham as the centerpiece of its centennial year, the festival is Durham's first—a true fringe celebration of theater, dance, music, comedy, poetry, puppetry, and visual art in unconventional spaces: bookstores, bars, rooftops, galleries, and parks.

True to the 300+ fringe festivals worldwide, there are no gatekeepers—each event is individually ticketed (roughly $16–$34) with 100% of the base price going to the artists, and free events are marked on the schedule. Performances are intimate and sell out quickly, so book early.

In the Carolina Theatre’s 100th year, one of Durham’s most celebrated film festivals returned for its 31st.

From August 13–16, 2026, the historic Carolina Theatre of Durham welcomed filmmakers, artists, movie lovers, and members of the community for the annual OUTSOUTH Queer Film Festival—four days celebrating storytelling, creativity, representation, and connection through film.

The Image & Light Studio had the privilege of being there to help document it.

I recently had the pleasure of photographing the team at Dr. Sullivan's chiropractic practice. As a regular patient myself, I can personally speak to the quality of care this team provides — they're professional, attentive, and genuinely great to work with.

I'm happy to recommend Dr. Sullivan and his staff to anyone in need of chiropractic care.

This month's Carbs & Carburetors event at Leland Little's Collector Car Department did not disappoint. The morning brought together an incredible lineup of classic cars, great conversation with fellow car enthusiasts, and — of course — coffee and donuts to round things out.
