Hillsborough Arts Council

Sponsored community events include Last Fridays,[1] Arts Walk, Parlor Concerts, Educational Programs and the Hillsborough Handmade Parade.

The programs are funded, in part, by grants from the North Carolina Arts Council,[2] the Hillsborough Tourism Board, The Town Of Hillsborough, NC[3] other state funded agencies and by individual donations.

This support allows the council to offer numerous arts related educational services, workshops, community events, programs and exhibitions.

In the spring of 2008 a series of workshops both public and private were initiated that led to the First Annual Handmade Parade in October 2008.

The Arts Council Gallery offers a venue for emerging and mid-career artists to exhibit and sell their work.
