Thank you for 7 Years and for voting us as “The Best Place to Buy Locally Made Art in Durham”!
The Artisan Market at 305 in downtown Durham is celebrating 7 years of the store and it’s local artists! We love handmade and the Triangle’s vibrant art scene and have loved sharing the work of local artists in the store. Being voted Indy’s Best Place to Buy Locally Made Art last year and the ever changing and uplifting art that comes through these doors every week is truly a cause for community celebration.
We are still growing with over 50 of your favorite local artists and so many unique handmade gifts and pieces of art. All kinds of fun and new art arriving every week! Your support and appreciation of our artists is what makes us tick and we want to thank you!

Another of our artists lives near Burnsville. Caroline Musselwhite has been raising money and working directly with local fire departments and others to deliver safety items in need such as water filtration systems, hand crank radio/light/chargers, epi pens and albuterol, fire blankets and carbon monoxide detectors. She even heard from a recipient that the CO2 detector went off and they were able to open their windows and prevent a potential disaster. To directly support those ongoing efforts, feel free to Venmo Caroline using the QR code below or contact me!
