SUMMARY:Masonic Hall Guided Tours
DESCRIPTION:The brothers of Eagle Lodge #19 are inviting the community to our historic Masonic Hall building for guided tours from 6-8:30 pm on the last Friday of each month from April to September. Tours are ongoing\, so stop by anytime during Last Friday.\n\nYou will begin with a history of our lot\, located along the Occaneechi Trading Path\, where the Regulators destroyed Edmund Fanning’s house in 1770. We will then welcome you inside and guide you through one of the earliest and most significant Masonic buildings in North America. Designed by North Carolina state architect William Nichols in the early 1820s\, our Greek Revival lodge building was constructed to be a lodge under the supervision of master builders Samuel Hancock and John Berry and was completed in 1825. Inside\, you will learn about the fire that nearly destroyed the building in 1945\, the unique arrangement of masonic lodge rooms\, some of the meaning behind our iconic symbols\, our connections to the history of UNC\, the design feature that was removed from our roof during the Civil War\, as well as the building’s many additional uses. For example\, the building once doubled as the Hillsborough Opera House and during several wars the building served as a hospital or preparatory for the American Red Cross.\n\nWe will also have cold bottled water and sodas for guests\, with additional activities throughout the summer in conjunction with the Arts Council’s Last Fridays celebrations. Tours are free\, though donations to our Historic Eagle Lodge Foundation are greatly appreciated and will contribute to ongoing preservation of our building.

SUMMARY:Art Colors Life
DESCRIPTION:Botanical and travel paintings by Chris Graebner\, vibrant acrylic landscape paintings by Marcy Lansman\, needle felted figurative sculpture by Lynn Wartski. In the gallery July 22nd through August 24th. Opening reception during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Art Walk\, July 25th\, 6-9pm. \nThe title of this show\, ”Art Colors Life\,” is taken from Chris Graebner’s favorite quote about art. Sir John Lubbock writes in his book\, The Pleasures of Life\, that “Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye\, and the eye through the mind.  As the sun colors flowers\, so does art color life.” \nGraebner often paints from photos taken while traveling. Because she’s not traveling very much these days\, she spent several weeks this winter going through thousands of photos taken over the last twenty years\, pulling out the ones that called to her. Graebner says her photos are not great\, as they are often taken from a moving vehicle\, through streaky windows. However they return her to a time and place where something struck her that she wanted to remember – perhaps the way a plant really looks up close\, maybe the way ripples from a cat’s tongue make their way across a pool of water\, or maybe the angles and colors of rooftops – something in particular that she wanted to remember. Though an oil painter\, Graebner likes to add other mediums such as cold wax\, graphite or oil-based inks; often using acrylics to provide the base color of her paintings. \nLynn Wartski has also drawn inspiration from John Lubbock’s quote. Lubbock draws a reciprocal relationship between the mind and the eye and this year she’s noticed something similar with the last phrase\, that life can color art as well. Her felt sculptures usually evoke a sense of whimsy or humor\, but lighthearted joy-sparking art has been a challenge lately\, and  Wartski has found herself bouncing between the widely different aims of wanting to say more\, or just letting herself play. She decided to just let the work go where it wants to go. One piece may be a little more serious\, the next a pure flight of fancy.  “Winged Liberty Rises” is a piece that comments on current events and endeavors to express hope. The figure is a felted representation of a marble statue that has been knocked down and a little bit bloodied but possesses the determination and strength to pull itself up.  “Love Is Nurtured” is a joyful piece depicting a mother and baby giraffe. The two figures stand with foreheads touching and eyes closed. The mother’s long neck is bent down touching the young one. The giraffe’s distinctive pattern morphs from back to front into a stylized floral pattern that appears to pass from mother to baby. Wartski’s sculptures are created by needle felting wool fiber over a wire and batting armature. \nPainter Marcy Lansman is excited by color in her landscapes. Using areas of bright color on the canvas to create a base\, and using a palette knife to create an overpainting on top\, she lets bits of the underpainting peak through. For this show she’s used a wider color palette. For example\, her painting “Behind the Dunes” depicts the dramatically curving trees that grow just inland of the dunes on our North Carolina islands. In the painting the leaves vary from deep blue to a very pale white/yellow\, and Lansman finds that the wider the variety of colors\, the more vibrant the painting. Asked if she paints plein air\, Lansman says she visits the site and takes many\, many photos\, then uses the photos as inspiration for the painting. \nCome join us on July 25th from 6-9pm\, during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Art Walk for the opening reception and see the art inspired by the quote “Art Colors Life.” Enjoy old time country renditions by the Lars Barbary Trio on our patio \nIf you’d like a chance to meet these artists and hear about their inspiration and process\, their Artist Talk will be held in the gallery on Saturday\, August 9th at 4pm. \n  \nAbout the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts: \nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned and operated by 20 local artists and represents these established artists exhibiting contemporary fine art and fine craft. The Gallery’s offerings include oil\, acrylic and watercolor painting\, sculpture\, pottery\, jewelry\, glass\, scratchboard\, fiber art\, and handcrafted furniture. 121 N.

SUMMARY:Ayr Mount Tours 2025
DESCRIPTION:Located in Hillsborough\, North Carolina\, Ayr Mount strikes a startling figure in the historical town. The 1815 federal\, masonry edifice was the first of its kind in this once bustling trade town\, and thanks to the preservation efforts of our founder Richard Jenrette\, remains well preserved with several original family objects on display. \nCAHPT invites you to explore the site to learn about the design\, construction\, and maintenance of the estate as well as the lives of those\, enslaved and free\, who crafted and occupied the extravagant home and landscape from 1820 to 2018. \nVisitors are welcome to explore the site select Thursdays\, Fridays\, and Saturdays April through November. Guided tours will be offered Thursday & Friday at 1:00pm and 2:30pm. Tour times for Saturday take place at 11:00am\, 1:00pm\, and 2:30pm. All guests must purchase tickets in advance. \nTickets can be bought here: https://secure.jenrette.org/nx/portal/neonevents/events?path=%2Fportal%2Fevents \nThis is a potentially strenuous tour which includes climbing stairs\, traversing uneven terrain\, and enduring uncomfortable weather conditions and the presence of bugs or other wildlife. We regret that we cannot be responsible for those needing assistance and encourage all guests to dress accordingly. No food or beverages are allowed in the houses with the exception of a closed bottle of water.
