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.

Transcendence:
Transcendence comes from the Latin prefix trans-, meaning “beyond,” and the word scandare, meaning “to climb.” Transcendence is a philosophical concept referring to existence or experience that goes beyond the ordinary or physical level, often linked to spirituality and the idea of surpassing human limitations. The word is often used to describe a spiritual or religious state, or a condition of moving beyond physical needs and realities.
