Eno Arts Mill is an arts hub in the historic Eno Mill, at 437 Dimmocks Mill Road, Suite 17, in Hillsborough.
The space includes both artist studios and a gallery, and is managed by the Orange County Arts Commission.
The First Friday of every month, Eno Arts Mill hosts First Fridays to celebrate the new exhibit. The visual art will be combined with poetry, music or other performances.
In the warm months, starting in April, the events take place outside, and there will be a food truck. In winter months, the events take place in the gallery and there is no food truck. Read on to learn about the next First Friday event.
There are also many arts classes offered, including drama, fiber arts, figure drawing and more. Learn about the classes.

ABOUT THE SHOW:
This show will invoke the spirit of our African ancestors who streamed from the “Cradle of Humanity” and manifested ALL of us into a thriving future despite attempts of annihilation and erasure. Our ancestors vested us with a power that centers love, joy, hope, soul, determination, creativity, dignity, and shared humanity. It is this power that will indeed help us to navigate the complexities of this moment and enable us to gaze upon and manifest a flourishing, liberated future for all. With this in mind, the show will be a mixed-media installation aimed to inspire hope, human connection and ultimately heal hearts and minds. In the spirit of Sankofa, “Liberation” will draw on the wisdom of the past, to inform the complexities of the present, and ultimately illuminate a future that is inevitable if we stay the course.
