From Franklin Street to South Road, UNC’s campus is crawling with art.
The University’s 729 acres are dotted with venues for the visual and performing arts, some better known than others.
Spaces like Wilson Library, Carroll Hall and the Student Union — each not typically pegged as an artistic venue — house prints, photos and performances.
Other more obscure locations for campus art include the Bingham Blackbox Theatre in Bingham Hall, host to several student theater productions, and Person Hall, which hosts student and professional music concerts.
Some venues also house multiple art forms.
Gerrard Hall and the recently reopened Historic Playmakers Theatre both showcase performances from various student groups — like the Carolina Union Activities Board and Pauper Players — as well as University departments like the executive office for the arts and the department of dramatic art.
Emil Kang, executive director for the arts, said that exposure to campus art offerings is as essential to “the Carolina experience” as attending basketball games.
“Art is a window on the world,” he said. “Many students here may have not seen much of it, and now it’s right in their backyard.”
