American College Towns: Durham, NC

Durham, North Carolina, home to Duke University and part of the Research Triangle, is beautifully illustrated in this artwork featuring Brightleaf Square. The historic tobacco warehouses, now transformed into a lively district of stores, restaurants, and cafes, are lit by strings of glowing lights that create a warm evening atmosphere. Known as one of America's favorite college towns, Durham blends industrial heritage with cultural vibrancy and academic excellence. This design captures the charm of Brightleaf Square as both a symbol of the city's history and a hub of modern community life.
