The arts councils from Chatham, Durham, Orange, and Wake Counties, in partnership with WRAL-TV, are joining forces once again to present Big Night In for the Arts. This regional fundraising initiative has raised more than $615,000 to ensure the arts and culture will continue to thrive and remain a part of what makes the Triangle a unique place to live, work, and play.
