Join Peter Rabbit and friends for a playful adventure filled with puppetry, lively characters and opportunities to join the fun! Presented by Seed Art Share, The Many Adventures of Peter Rabbit is a locally written, interactive theatre production for young audiences. Four professional actors bring multiple characters to life, inviting audience members to participate in the story, answer questions and respond to the action. The venue is the Grove at Dorothea Dix Park and the nearby greenway trail. Along the way, children explore garden vegetables, animals, new vocabulary and—with help from Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle—different types of clothing. The performance runs approximately 40 minutes, with an optional question-and-answer session afterward to learn about the show and working in theatre. Seed Art Share is a local nonprofit theatre company dedicated to building community through interactive theatre, arts education and support for parent artists. The company brings locally written productions to unexpected places throughout the Triangle, including parks, gardens, museums and historic sites, and offers classes, workshops and camps for young people. There is also a 2 p.m. performance.
Each of the "Art What You Eat" photographers works with food as their subject matter but has a unique approach to tell their individual story. Whether it is the captured moments of food preparation by Anna Routh Barzin, the frozen-in-time images of Harsha Sipani, or the abstracted, minimalist design approach of Dhanraj Emanuel, their work reflects and celebrates our current culture.

Syllabary Aug. 2 - Oct. 25, 2026 Join us for a closing reception for Syllabary on Saturday, Oct. 24 from 2:30 - 4 p.m. Check out the artwork, meet the artist, and enjoy an afternoon of community at Pullen Arts Center Featuring the artwork of interdisciplinary Durham-based artist Jason Lord, Syllabary is an evolving body of work emerging from questions I have returned to for years about the relationship between parts and wholes, the ways rules generate possibility rather than merely constrain it, the strange power of language to gather the world into names while inevitably leaving something outside them, and the different kinds of thinking that become possible through making. These questions are not illustrated by the work so much as discovered through the process of making it, emerging through assembling and disassembling, repeating and revising, working within self-imposed constraints, and allowing materials, forms, and images to migrate across different contexts. The objects in this exhibition are not expressions of ideas that existed beforehand. They are the material record of thought taking shape. Learn more about the Exhibition at Pullen Arts Center. Location: Pullen Arts Center, 105 Pullen Road, Raleigh, NC Parking: Visitors must have a parking permit between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Check-in at […]
