We can't vouch for the cleanliness of this collective of Durham-based artists. Their mission, however, is another matter. Hosting shows and exhibitions at their studio space, Durty Art provides free outlets for local musicians and artists to present their work. A labor of love, design and destruction, this amorphous crew accepts anyone who dares imagine his or her way into its bounds. For this benefit show, that means Kellie Ann Grubbs, Mystic Minstrels, Tea and Tempests, Casual Curious, Lake Inferior and Tree City. —Ashley Melzer
