The Market at NCMA pops up on Sunday, July 5, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the North Carolina Museum of Art. Browse a rotating lineup of local artists in the plaza, enjoy live music, wander the galleries, and take a lap through the museum park while you’re there. It’s a relaxed way to shop local, enjoy the museum, and turn a summer Sunday into something a little more memorable.

Saturdays — Donation-Based Yoga at Studio 1104
Yoga classes can sometimes feel intimidating, especially if you're worried about keeping up or not knowing all the poses. This donation-based class at Studio 1104 seems to take a different approach.
Held every Saturday at 11 AM, the class is described as fluid, intuitive, and accessible to all levels. The organic vinyasa practice blends movement, meditation, and subtle sound while following a natural rhythm that balances effort and recovery.
The atmosphere also sounds intentionally welcoming. Students are encouraged to participate at their own pace in a community-oriented, non-performative space, which takes some of the pressure out of trying something new.
Whether you're completely new to yoga or simply looking for a different kind of practice, a donation-based class with an all-levels approach makes it easy to step onto the mat and see if it feels like a good fit.
