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!
This popular once-a-month event
draws residents and visitors from all over the Triangle who enjoy the
opportunity to see a large variety of artwork during a single evening
while socializing with their fellow art lovers.

At every outdoor Last Fridays, the Hillsborough Arts Council sponsors the center-stage musical act and artist
demonstrators at the courthouse square, and a film series at the
Masonic Lodge. The Council also sponsors the Last Fridays Art Walk
and manages the vendor booths. For information about and registration for the Handmade Parade workshops, stop by the HAC booth! Date:
