Arts & Culture
This area has been known for decades for its thriving creative music scene. Many people travel from around the region – and sometimes around the world – to attend shows at the Cat's Cradle and other venues in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Less famous, but also doing us proud, are visual artists, dancers, actors, and filmmakers around the Triangle. In fact, Chapel Hill was home to the first Flicker festival, which now takes place in ten cities around the world!
Worry about the effect of the economic downturn coupled with changes in information technology is generating a lot of consterned discussion among those concerned with the history and future of libraries. Worries start with concern about reducing public access to books and book culture, as well as to the eroding relationship of public and research libraries to the educational system.
But libraries - the municipal buildings themselves and the staff therein - also see challenging changes in their community functions when times get hard.

Come
to the Horace Williams House for a fun night. Food, music, auction of
original artworks - all going to benefit the restoration of Chapel
Hill's murals. The theme is blue. Blue drinks, blue food, blues music.
We're hoping to raise funds to restore the first mural painted in
Chapel Hill, the "Starry Night" a pointillism interpretation of
Franklin Street at night.
http://www.chapelhillpreservation.com/blue.htmIt is part of the ongoing Painted Walls Project that seeks to save Chapel Hill's unique landmarks.
