About NorthStar Church of the Arts
Located at 220 W. Geer Street in downtown Durham, NorthStar Church of the Arts is a historic church building repurposed into a versatile multidisciplinary arts space. Opened originally as Ephphatha Church in 1930, this landmark has evolved into a vibrant venue for music, movement, visual art, and a monthly Sunday healing/service program. The space is flexibly configured for each event, providing an intimate feel for smaller performances and the capacity to welcome larger audiences—public attendance has reached 800+ for select programs.
Whether you’re catching a Jazz Age concert, a contemporary art exhibition, or a community gathering, NorthStar offers an accessible, inviting environment in the heart of Durham. We’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transit options, and nearby hotels and dining to help you plan a smooth visit.
Seating at NorthStar is not fixed to a single configuration; the venue adapts to each event, and there is no published standard seating chart. If you’re securing tickets, you’ll want to confirm the seating setup for your specific show. For parking, Durham’s downtown has multiple garages and lots aligned with city parking maps and ordinances. Transit options include GoDurham and GoTriangle services, with convenient access from nearby Durham Station and Bull City Connector routes. After the show, consider staying nearby at top-rated hotels such as 21c Museum Hotel, Aloft Durham Downtown, Durham Marriott City Center, The Durham Hotel, or Unscripted Hotel, all within a short drive or ride-share distance. We recommend reserving through our trusted affiliate partners for hotels and dining to ensure a seamless experience. If you’re planning a visit to a Jazz Age concert, a Spotlight Exhibition, or the monthly Sunday healing/service, secure your seats early through our straightforward process—we’re here to help you get there with as little fuss as possible.
