Saturday’s Forecast: High Art and Deep Thoughts

I see you power-walking toward the finish line of this work week, so let’s trade those spreadsheets for some creative inspiration.

Take a breather this Saturday, May 2, 2026, and head to Artspace for an intimate conversation with Tyler Starr. The Davidson College professor and Fulbright scholar will be diving into his solo exhibition, Tales of the Future, exploring the heavy hitters—grief, memory, and mortality—through his unique lens of mixed media and poetic association.

It is the perfect excuse to wander through the Downtown Raleigh creative hub, check in on the 35+ resident artists in their studios, and maybe grab a post-talk drink at Moore Square. Since it’s a weekend, you can snag free parking at the City Center or Moore Square decks, making this a high-brow afternoon that won’t bruise your wallet.

📍 201 E Davie St, Raleigh, NC 27601
