For ov er 17 years we hav e helped to support the work of artists from North Carolina and beyond by publishing them in our magazine, books, multimedia and digital features. In addition we lead workshops for emerging artists focused on how they can best prepare their projects for publication. From 2012-2018 we ran the Daylight Project Space in Hillsborough, NC but hav e temporarily discontinued our exhibition program. Since our inception we hav e featured the following artists from Orange County: Tom Rankin, Lori Vrba, Tama Hochbaum, Leah Sobsey, Sam Stev enson, elin oHara Slav ick, Alex Harris, Frank Hunter, Kate Joyce, Elizabeth Matheson and more. W e hav e collaborated with the Frank Gallery, Light Gallery, Ackland Art Museum, NCMA, CAM, Flanders Gallery and the Carrack on exhibitions and hosted our own. In addition to our publication program Daylight’s digital and multimedia programs allow free access to the general public to curated v ideos, slideshows and galleries. These long-form digital and multimedia features not only display an array of photographs from each artist, but also create a space for the artist to share the story and meaning behind their image collections, creating a clear and coherent narrativ e context that accompany the photographs. Daylight’s multimedia program produces freely accessible v ideo podcasts ev ery month, which showcase the work of artists through a combination of v ideo, audio, photographic, and textual elements. These v ideos specifically feature contemporary v isual artists, who explore local and global stories of social, cultural, political and env ironmental relev ance. These creations most often include narration by the featured artist, giv ing audiences insight into the experiences and creativ e intentions of each artist.
