Welcome to LabourLove - The little art gallery that could...
Don't expect to find stuffy, art aficionados looking down their noses with a sense of self importance during your visit to LabourLove Gallery. We just love the creative process from conception to completion. Come visit us just to sit on our art inspired reupholstered furniture, and chat while surrounded by some of the most talented young artists in North Carolina. Be prepared to be tempted by our limited edition fine art prints, clothing, and home goods. Be ready for artwork that will make you stop and wonder why you don't spend more time in east Durham. Need customized wedding invitations, holiday cards, or stationary? We'll design them just for you. We even provide art lessons for children. Durham's favorite art gallery cannot be truly enjoyed from the comfort of your Internet connection, but if you insist we've tried to capture it for you here at www.labourlove.com.

The Geithner Encounter
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner visited LabourLove
LabourLove was honored to host treasury secretary Timothy Geithner during his tour of Golden Belt on February 18th. Congressman Price and Congressman Miller were also on the tour which was lead by Andy Rothschild. Mr. Geithner revealed to us that his own photography helped him pay for college, but that he doesn’t get a chance to pursue it much anymore. I guess fixing the economy is higher on his “to do” list these days. He talked to Lori Vrba about her current show “Safekeeping,” and he almost seemed relaxed for a few minutes as the conversation shifted away from business to the arts. This just goes to show that everyone needs a little art in their life.
John, Kelly, Porter, and Geithner

Third Friday – “Safekeeping” by Lori Vrba
This third Friday come to see the incredible work by Chapel Hill photographer Lori Vrba.
2009 was a breakout year for Lori. She recently finished a solo show at the prestigious Lishui Photo Festival in China, and participated in group shows in London, New York, Colorado, and Atlanta among others during the year. Her “Safekeeping” series won her critical acclaim at the Photo Alliance Review in San Francisco, and the Atlanta Celebrates Photography Review. She was also featured in the magazines “Shots,” “Burn,” and “File,” and plans to make a solid impression on FotoFest in Houston in March. If you want some local approval to go along with the rest, one of her pieces won Best in Show at The Arts Center in Carrboro in the summer.
If you’ve been thinking about diving into collecting art and photography, now is the time, and Lori is the artist to invest in. Small prints in extremely limited editions start at just $300 so you can afford to fill your portfolio. Her work will only be available for a few more weeks so don’t wait too long to come by.
