Opening Night in Raleigh: Friday, May 1

DXR ’09: DESIGNING CHANGE exhibition opens Friday night at Flanders Art Gallery in downtown Raleigh’s Seaboard Station. Mark your calendars and come see the great design happening throughout the Carolinas. The exhibit runs in Raleigh from May 1 -9 and at Charlotte’s Mint Museum from August 20-22.

A Word from the Founder:

Great design is the best catalyst for positive change. Once an incredible idea has been committed to a page, product, or space, those that see or experience it are never the same–they do not go on, continuing to do things the same way. DXR exists to give those great ideas an audience and to give those looking for inspiration another step forward. The works contained here originate from all over the Carolinas, showing that DESIGNING CHANGE is something we, as a region, have embraced as a mantra.

DXR has three goals with each exhibition: first, celebrate great design; second, educate the public about the great design that has been created; and third, stimulate the “cross-pollenization” of ideas across different disciplines and the general public.

Let me welcome you to DXR’09. Please take your time to see, discuss, and spread the word about what you have experienced. Be prepared for your experience to bring about some positive change.

Thank you and enjoy the exhibition.
Donald Corey, DXR Founder
