Carter Building Alliance

Welcome to The Carter Building
The Carter Building at Glenwood South, located at 12-22 Glenwood Ave in Raleigh, NC, houses the studios and businesses of more than 75 creative professionals. In the 1940s, E. E. "Jack" Carter began renting spaces in the building to a variety of artists that ranged from wood workers to visual artists to rock 'n' roll bands. Barry Carter, Sr. remains dedicated to fostering the spirited creative community begun by his father. An eclectic mix of artists, commercial photographers, design studios, boutiques and yoga are all located under one roof. Virtually all mediums are represented: acrylic, oils, watercolor, pastels, mixed media, photography, clay, and jewelry. Get to know the artists in their studios and experience their individual style and approach to art while looking for your first piece of original art or adding to your extensive collection. Once a warehouse district, Glenwood South is Raleigh's destination of choice. The eight block area from Peace Street to Hillsborough Street houses galleries, trendy boutiques, home furnishing stores, a mix of family friendly restaurants, and a spirited nightlife. Enjoy the casual, friendly atmosphere; there's something for everyone on Glenwood South.

Portraits. London: Phaidon Press Ltd, 1999). Each day in my studio, I would clip a fresh piece of paper onto my easel and then allow a face to come forward. I would begin my drawing by looking at the paper only occasionally, allowing distortions to express themselves. Standing back, I would find eyes uneven, hands too big, heads outsized. Read More...
