The Carrboro Arts Committee invites you to participate in the first annual Carrboro Community Art Project! We will show art created by people who live, work, or play in Carrboro. Your artwork will be shown in the Century Center or Carrboro Town Hall during May & June 2010 to coincide with Carrboro Day & the 101st 2ndFriday ArtWalk.  

We do have some rules you’ll need to follow but they’re pretty straightforward.  Basically the theme is simply “Carrboro” so use your imagination.  As long as you live, work or play in Carrboro you are eligible.  There are other rules about size and such but if your piece fits within the rules it will be accepted.  For the full rules and an application form please visit our webpage.

We will accept submissions this Saturday, April 24th from 10 am until 1 pm at the Century Center, at 100 North Greensboro St. in Carrboro. 

An opening reception with music at both venues will be held on May 14 at the Century Center and Carrboro Town Hall in conjunction with the 2ndFriday ArtWalk. Participating artists are asked to bring finger food (no utensils needed stuff) and/or beverages.

Festivities start at the Town Hall with a poetry reading by the new Town of Carrboro Poet Laureate Jay Bryan.  The Scene of the Crime Rovers from Durham will then display their unique take on the marching band format.  Great fun.

Later Lucky's Starlight Lounge will play in the Carrboro Century Center.  From Facebook:  "Lucky's Starlight Lounge (aka Sharmin Mirman on sax/vocals and Silas Derr on Keyboards/Guitar) is an old fashioned jazz duo with a swanky modern twist. They play an eclectic mix of jazz standards, lounge music and unexpected revisions of old and contemporary favorites. "

There will be fun to be had by all!
