SUMMARY:Drift
DESCRIPTION:Artists Ryann Carey and Pete Rodrigues will be exhibiting recent works in their upcoming show\, Drift\, which will be on display at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts from April 22nd until May 25th. The opening reception will be on Friday\, April 25th from 6:00-9:00 pm. During the reception\, Ben Fisher will perform experimental/ambient music heavily influenced by\nNorth Carolina’s deep tradition of folk music\, on the patio in front of the gallery. \nPainter Ryann Carey considers Drift an apt title for the watercolor work she has created for this show. Says Carey “I am a bit of a wanderer both in place and mind. Often sidetracked by the light reflecting off an electric wire or the pattern of the ripples on water\, I let my observations lead the way for my watercolor paintings. These moments surround us\, often passing unnoticed\, in the midst of joy\, pain\, sadness\, hope.” \nWoodworker Pete Rodrigues creates not only unique handcrafted furniture\, but also art that hangs on the wall. Using select hardwoods which he cuts\, bends and shapes\, Rodrigues uses his imagination as well as his knowledge of the properties of his materials to achieve his original designs. “For me\, creating furniture as an art form is a process of visualizing what is possible- designing building\, and then letting it be used as function as much as form” says Rodrigues. “For my featured show this year I’m excited about the work I will be displaying. As I continue to work on them\, I’m enjoying how the process is more sculptural\, having a general idea and drifting with it.” \nDrift will be on display at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts from April 22nd through May 25th with a talk by the artists in the gallery on Saturday\, May 10th at 4pm. \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\, weaving\, jewelry\, glass\, gourd sculpture\, scratchboard\, and handcrafted furniture. 121 N.

SUMMARY:Drift
DESCRIPTION:Artists Ryann Carey and Pete Rodrigues will be exhibiting recent works in their upcoming show\, Drift\, which will be on display at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts from April 22nd until May 25th. The opening reception will be on Friday\, April 25th from 6:00-9:00 pm. During the reception\, Ben Fisher will perform experimental/ambient music heavily influenced by\nNorth Carolina’s deep tradition of folk music\, on the patio in front of the gallery. \nPainter Ryann Carey considers Drift an apt title for the watercolor work she has created for this show. Says Carey “I am a bit of a wanderer both in place and mind. Often sidetracked by the light reflecting off an electric wire or the pattern of the ripples on water\, I let my observations lead the way for my watercolor paintings. These moments surround us\, often passing unnoticed\, in the midst of joy\, pain\, sadness\, hope.” \nWoodworker Pete Rodrigues creates not only unique handcrafted furniture\, but also art that hangs on the wall. Using select hardwoods which he cuts\, bends and shapes\, Rodrigues uses his imagination as well as his knowledge of the properties of his materials to achieve his original designs. “For me\, creating furniture as an art form is a process of visualizing what is possible- designing building\, and then letting it be used as function as much as form” says Rodrigues. “For my featured show this year I’m excited about the work I will be displaying. As I continue to work on them\, I’m enjoying how the process is more sculptural\, having a general idea and drifting with it.” \nDrift will be on display at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts from April 22nd through May 25th with a talk by the artists in the gallery on Saturday\, May 10th at 4pm. \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\, weaving\, jewelry\, glass\, gourd sculpture\, scratchboard\, and handcrafted furniture. 121 N. Churton Street\, Hillsborough\, NC 27278. Phone: (919) 732-5001. The gallery is open 10am-6pm Monday – Saturday\, and 12pm-4pm on Sunday.

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.
