A newly restored Golden Belt—one of Durham, North Carolina's last historic textile mills to be creatively reused—will draw a dense arts energy

to downtown Durham with artist studios, live/work loft apartments, restaurants, retail, live music and more. Situated on the corner of Main and Fayetteville streets, the seven-acre campus will unite an uncommonly thoughtful blend of people, arts, entertainment and commerce and take cues from the local culture and the nation's best urban settings.

 

Opportunities for Artists & Entrepreneurs
As an arts hub in the making, Golden Belt brings with it rare opportunities for arts-focused entrepreneurship, creativity, collaboration and exploration. Currently, our team is working closely with the arts and small business communities in North Carolina and beyond to bring emerging artists and entrepreneurs with inspired concepts to Golden Belt. Start-up possibilities range from independent retail and restaurant ventures to artist cooperatives.
