Events

Arts on the Hill series will strengthen community ties through films with North Carolina roots and spoken word poetry at Dix Park.

For more than 9 years, the Raleigh Film and Art Festival has prided itself on developing avenues to aid artists in the freedom of expression - crossing paths with a cornucopia of talented individuals in the Triangle and across North Carolina. This partnership with Dix Park will give local, regional, and up-and-coming artists a platform to develop their talents and showcase their work.

Play On Words is a showcase spotlighting the gifted filmmakers and poets of the Triangle!
