Getting to Know Our Artwork

Our headquarters is designed be a more than just a location from which to conduct our work. From the outset, the building was intentionally constructed as a welcoming resource for grantees and as a symbol of Mr. Duke’s legacy for the Carolinas. In that spirit, we are proud to display artwork that inspires the same sense of connection to our region and the place that our founder called home.”
