SUMMARY:"Atmospherics" Art Reception at The Little Market
DESCRIPTION:The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is proud to announce the opening of its new satellite space\, The Little Market\, with an inaugural exhibition by artist Adrienne Knowles. The show\, titled “Atmospherics\,” features a striking new body of abstract landscapes. A reception will be held Friday\, May 30th from 6-9pm in conjunction with the Art Walk. \nThe Little Market is dedicated to showcasing curated\, rotating exhibitions and creative collaborations\, providing a fresh space where artists and the community connect through art. They aim to create new opportunities for both established and emerging artists. \nIn “Atmospherics\,” Knowles explores the emotional and intuitive process of artmaking through a series of richly layered\, abstract landscapes. Working with acrylics\, oil\, cold wax medium and sometimes collage elements\, she builds compositions from color\, texture\, and memory—inviting viewers to experience the quiet mystery of landscapes that arise from within. \nAdrienne shares: “For the last several years\, I’ve focused on non-representational abstraction\, but recently this group of abstract landscapes has taken shape—unbidden at first\, then welcomed wholeheartedly.” \nThe Little Market is located at 118 N. Churton St\, just across the street from the main HGA gallery within Hillsborough Real Estate Group\, and will feature a rotating selection of artist exhibitions\, small works\, and curated collections. Join us for the closing reception of “Atmospherics” on Friday\, May 30th from 6-9pm and experience this exciting new addition to Hillsborough’s art scene. \n“Atmospherics” will be available to view fthrough June 15th\, 2025. The Little Market is open Last Fridays 6-9pm and Saturdays and Sundays 12-4. For more information\, visit www.hillsboroughgallery.com/the-little-market.

SUMMARY:*254th Annual Regulator Remembrance Event*
DESCRIPTION:The 254th Annual Regulator Remembrance Day Event will take place Thursday\, June 19\, at 6 p.m.\, at the Regulator Historic Marker site in Cameron Park\, 200 E. King St.\, Hillsborough. \nThis year’s event marks the 2534th anniversary of the date on June 19\, 1771 when six early American patriots were executed at the site by English colonial Governor William Tryon on the charge of High Treason against the King of England for questioning English colonial authority as part of the Regulator Rebellion. \nA mammoth stone slab was placed at the site in the late 18th/early 19th century as a marker. Since 1771\, descendants and the general public have quietly visited the site to lay flowers there in remembrance of those brave patriots. That tradition has continued for over 250 years. \nMore formal commemoration events were revived again in 2013 by Scott Washington\, former Assistant Director of the Orange County Historical Museum and Hillsborough Historian. The annual Regulator Remembrance Event is a way for descendants and all who care about this history to intentionally remember these early patriots. \nThe 254th anniversary ceremonies will include introduction of special guests\, historical remarks\, reading of the names of those who were executed on this date\, a tolling of the bell\, followed by a chance for the public to bring and lay flowers at the Regulator Marker just as people have done for more than 250 years. \nRepresentatives of Alamance Battleground Historic Site\, elected officials\, descendants of the original Regulators\, and many others are also expected to be present at this popular event. \nThe event is free and open to the public.
