SUMMARY:Embracing Tranquility
DESCRIPTION:The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is pleased to announce Embracing Tranquility\, kiln-formed and fused glass by Mark Kinsella\, Native American-inspired totems and wall hangings by Jude Lobe and abstract metal sculpture by Jason Smith. Embracing Tranquility will be in the gallery from June 23rd through July 26th. \nAn opening reception will be held during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Art Walk on June 26th from 6-9pm. During the art walk the Jackson Street Band will play live music on the front patio. \nThe show will include an artist talk by Mark Kinsella and Jason Smith in the gallery on Saturday\, July 11th at 4pm. \nGlass artist Mark Kinsella explores the paradox of glass: a material born of intense heat and violent transformation that\, once cooled\, possesses a profound\, silent clarity. Using kiln-forming techniques\, Kinsella creates calm suspended moments in time that he calls his “meditation on stillness.”\nSays Kinsella\, “Each piece is a study in balance. The fluidity of the glass contrasts with its solid form; the warmth of the kiln gives way to the cool touch of the finished surface. Through layering\, texture\, and color\, I attempt to translate the intangible feeling of tranquility into a tangible object. My goal is to create a space for the viewer to stop\, look\, and simply be.” \nIn his work\, sculptor Jason Smith invites viewers to pause\, breathe\, and reconnect with a sense of inner calm. “Metal has been my primary medium for 30 years and this exhibition is my personal meditation on finding peace amid the noise of daily life\,” says Smith. “Each piece is an invitation to embrace stillness without emptiness\, strength without tension\, and serenity in simplicity.”\nIn this show Smith collaborates with Kinsella to create metal sculptures with fused-glass elements\, exploring the quiet strength found in balance\, flow\, and stillness\, and allowing translucent color and captured light to soften the rigidity of the steel. Serenity is not static\, but something that reveals itself gradually through light and reflection. \nFor artist Jude Lobe creating art for this show has also been a way of embraceing serenity\, and she hopes viewing her work will produce these same calm\, peaceful feelings. Her landscape paintings take us to places of quiet reflection. Her totems recall the Native Americans’ philosophy of man as part of nature\, and her enamels remind us of the things in nature that bring us joy. \nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned by 21 local artists featuring painting\, sculpture\, photography\, glass arts\, jewelry\, turned wood\, handcrafted furniture\, pottery\, scratchboard\, and mixed media. 121 N. Churton Street\, Hillsborough NC. Hours: Monday through Saturday 10-6\, Sunday 12-4. For more information about the show visit www.HillsboroughGallery.com

SUMMARY:Historic Hillsborough Guided Tours 2026
DESCRIPTION:Experience American history through the unique perspective of one of North Carolina’s oldest and most historically significant towns\, with a guided walking tour of downtown Hillsborough.

SUMMARY:Outlandish Hillsborough Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Beginning in the 4th book of the Outlander series and the 5th season of the hit TV show\, Jamie and Claire Fraser settle in a fictional Scottish community in North Carolina. The story intertwines with that of the Regulator Uprising that took place in and around Hillsborough in the 1770s\, making Hillsborough a natural location for this event.\n\nThe tour will begin at the Hillsborough Visitor Center and will take you along the Frasers’ footsteps to see many of the sites featured within the Outlander series relating to Hillsborough and the Regulator uprising prior to the Revolutionary War.\n\nThis is an in-person walking tour that sometimes crosses uneven terrain. Please plan to be walking or standing for the duration of the event\, wear comfortable walking shoes\, and bring a water bottle (plus your curiosity). \nTickets: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/outlandish-walking-tour–2026
