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.

An exploration of the present moment through the lens of personal growth and introspection, captured by diverse artistic voices.
‘To Be Here Now Is To Be_’ invites both artists and viewers to reflect on their well-being —mental, emotional, or physical— as well as their personal experiences and connections. This group show embraces the notion that this present moment shapes who we are and how we choose to express ourselves. To be immersed in the present, in all of our complexity and depth, feet planted firmly to whatever ground graces the souls of our feet, is to fully embrace and honor our current experiences, allowing them to shape and define our collective narrative. Each curated piece serves as a snapshot of the artist’s journey through various moments of their life, whether those moments are categorized by growth, introspection, or transformation. These pieces collectively remind us of the beauty and the significance of being present.
Drawing inspiration from ‘A Concept: You’, this show explores how personal narratives and experiences translate into creative expressions. Join us in this immersive space, where each work of art invites you to reflect on your own responses to the question: ‘To Be Here Now Is To Be___’?
