Support Local Performing Artists. Honor a Visionary. Give to the Sherry DeVries Performing Arts Fund.

Sherry DeVries believes in the transformative power of the arts — and she has dedicated over 23 years of leadership as Executive Director of the Durham Arts Council; to nurturing artists, growing creative opportunities, and ensuring that Durham remained a place where the arts could flourish.

To honor her legacy, the Sherry DeVries Performing Arts Fund has been established to directly support local Durham artists and arts organizations who produce in the PSI Theatre, a professional performance space located in the heart of the Durham Arts Council building.

Your gift to the fund will provide grants to help cover theatre tech fees and other support for productions in the PSI Theatre,  making it more accessible for emerging artists, small arts groups, and community-based arts productions. 

Help raise the curtain for more voices, more visions, and more vibrant performances — all in the space that Sherry helped shape.
