Big thanks to all the purchasers. We sold 103 pieces, raised over $2,200 for the NC Restaurant Workers Relief Fund, and 35 artists have been paid for their sales. I’m leaving this exhibit online for posterity. Some of the works are still available for purchase.
Click here to view the Sidespurs & Detours online exhibit at Horse & Buggy Press and Friends, our Broad Street gallery.
Click here to view the three exhibits at PS 118 Gallery and Event Space, our downtown Durham venue located at 118 West Parrish Street.
Please share with those who might be interested in helping the gallery — and the 40+ artists and craftspersons we represent — weather this storm.
The Get Off Of My Cloud exhibit moved from an idea to a physical and digital reality in just nine days in the middle of March as we began the quarantine COVID period.
If you have purchased work from H&B in the past, we thank you deeply. You helped us, and the artists we represent, grow into a substantial part of the local arts community. If you are able, please consider expanding your collection with another purchase (much of the work here is on a deep discount as a sign of the times). If you have been a fan of the haps here — but have yet to purchase work — now would be an * ideal * time to step up and support our mission, and perhaps some of your favorite artists and craftspersons. Then enjoy your artwork, craft object, or book every single day for the rest of your life, and remember this pivotal moment.
Together, we are shaping the new normal into which we will eventually emerge. Here’s to doing what we can to ensure that future includes a healthy amount of art, craft, and books — keeping them front and center in a world that often shunts them off to the side — and supporting each other financially and emotionally along the way.
all best wishes, Dave Wofford

Letterpress posters by Amos Kennedy Jr. $25 each.
Amos taught at Penland in 1994 and gave one of the best slide talks I’ve ever witnessed. I heard him say “Owning a Printing Press is a political statement, and from time to time, you need to use it as such.” He has just bought a building in Detroit, and is starting a book arts center which will include workshops and equipment rental. He left behind a few posters here when I had him over for a trunk event (because UNC wouldn’t let him sell goods at his artist talk there).
Visit his website to see and buy more of them.

Rob McDonald. John Boat (Larry Brown's retreat, Tula, Mississippi)
From the Native Ground series.
In Rob’s words, “This series is an ode to my love of reading – to books, to writers and the places that inspire in them the words for things that matter. The photographs are documentary only insofar as they begin in attention to particular writers’ personal spaces and native landscapes. What interests me most is how the images can suggest resonance, how places inhabited might be imagined to shape vision and voice.”

“I wanted to raise the profile of the farmer. The goal with this series is to celebrate the farmer—not the land, not the toil, not the sweat, none of the other stuff. To give a little distance between the field, the farm stand, all those other things. The work I’m most proud of is about other people, and who they are and what they mean to me. There’s a power there. By isolating them in the portrait, you end up with the truth, the reality.”
