The exhibition highlights the people, places, and moments that shape skateboarding across the Triangle—captured through photography that documents movement, community, and the evolving urban landscape.

Three Photographers, One Community Story

Residential Urbanity features selected works and personal backstories from three local photographers whose images go beyond action shots to reflect culture and connection:

Chris Facey
Clinton Perry

Each artist shares favorite photographs from recent years, offering insight into the environments and communities that influence their work.

Live Q&A and First Friday Energy

Beginning at 6:00 PM, attendees will experience a live Q&A hosted by Miguel Magallanes of Endless Grind. The conversation explores creative process, skate culture in the Triangle, and the role photography plays in preserving local stories.

Friends of the City of Raleigh Museum will be on site selling drinks, adding to the social atmosphere that defines First Friday downtown.

Why It Matters

By bringing contemporary skate photography into a historic civic space, Residential Urbanity reflects Raleigh’s growing commitment to inclusive, community-driven arts programming. The sold-out response underscores strong local interest in authentic creative experiences rooted in place and culture.

Get your tickets to the “Joy Cometh in the Morning” African American Symposium!

For Black History Month, the Dr. M.T. Pope House and the City of Raleigh Museum will focus on African American Emancipation through education, business ownership, and civic engagement, with academic presentations and music. 

The theme for the African American Symposium is “Joy Cometh in the Morning”. After the Civil War, formally enslaved African Americans rejoiced in their newfound freedom, but they understood that there was still work to be done. “Joy Cometh in the Morning” explores how African Americans embraced their freedom. Many expressed their liberation through music, while others began to assert their rights as citizens. This year’s topics will include the history of Shaw University’s Leonard Medical School, one of the first four-year medical institutions in the United States. Additionally, there will be a focus on Black women in widowhood and their experiences navigating the government to collect widows’ pensions. Finally, there will be an interactive performance highlighting the unrelenting joy of African Americans.
