The 1990’s in San Francisco was a place many people would have liked to be. Many people painted on other peoples things and got lots of money to do so. There were many people who did things like play the banjo or ride on skateboards. Everyone liked to help one another and there were many ‘non-profits’ to keep it all afloat. Ten years later this ‘movement’ was retroactively named the “Mission School.” This was during the peak of the dotcom bubble. The lucky people were able to keep painting on other peoples things while coming to own the physical properties in which they lived and worked, as well as the intellectual properties for the songs they wrote and the paintings they made. Their children would go to art school and try to reform things.

Housed in Downtown Raleigh’s iconic Warehouse District, The Dillon is the former site of Dillon Supply Co. Founded in 1914 by Clyde Alvin “C. A.” Dillon, Sr. and his brother, Grover L. Dillon. What started as a small hardware storefront at 121 West Martin Street, grew over the next 57 years into a multimillion dollar business with hundreds of employees and branches providing jobs, hardware, and industrial equipment for the military, agriculture, textile & tobacco industries. Now home to studio, one, two and three bedroom apartment homes, The Dillon joins Raleigh’s award winning revitalized warehouse district’s nonprofit art galleries, studios, restaurants, nightlife and local businesses. Quickly identified by repurposed red-brick, converted industrial buildings, come, take a tour of our unparalleled amenities, stroll through the neighborhood, and enjoy the view while we embark on a new era in The Dillon’s history. Your tracks home end at The Dillon.

The Last Picture Show is a collaborative exhibition.

Debris Bardot and Autobahn will perform.
