About this blog


This is my blog on the arts scene of Carrboro, Chapel Hill and surrounding Triangle communities. I'll focus on visual arts and the 2ndFriday Artwalk and other visual art events but that doesn't mean I won't chat about music, literary events, film or anything else in the local creative world. Please email with ideas, links, comments or brickbats. [I have comment moderation on so if you don't see your comment right away that means that I haven't had a chance to approve it yet. Sorry, but the spammers.....]

KIng of Carrboro dead at 73

 I only spoke to Robert Harman once and, like many things in our wonderful town, it was an odd experience.  I enjoyed seeing him weaving around town on his or strumming his beat up guitar outside Open Eye Coffee.  Read the tribute at the Carrboro Citizen link below.

2nd Friday Artwalk on July 8th -- CJ Calvin at the Century Center

The Carrboro Art Committee displays art at 2 venues in town, the Century Center at 100 N. Greensboro and Town Hall on Main Street.  Here's the new show at the Century Center:
