By Megan Laplaca | April 18

Dancing. Music. Workshops. Homemade Food. These are just a few of the things the Shakori Hills festival has to offer, and it's coming back to the Triangle this Thursday. Shakori Hills, celebrating its fifth year, is held near Silk Hope in Chatham County, about 20 minutes from Chapel Hill. The festival began as an offshoot of the Finger Lakes Grassroots Festival of Music and Dance, which is held in Trumansburg, N.Y. Both festivals focus on building community through arts and environmental education. New events have been added to the festival, coordinator Lissa Farrell said.

By Megan Laplaca | January 31

Students interested in having their own television show will have the opportunity to compete for a prime-time slot this semester through Student Television. STV's new show, titled "Your Show," falls under STV's "Anything Goes" television program. The program allows UNC students to come up with a script or story ideas that "Anything Goes" will help them produce and eventually air. STV wants to take this to the next level and give students the chance to shoot a pilot for their own show. "Every person will have their opportunity to shoot it," said Frank Sun, STV station manager.

Reborn as an artist

By Megan Laplaca | January 25

Four years ago, artist Eduardo Lapetina acted on a whim and took an art class. Today he is featured in art galleries around the state, including the gallery in the Student Union. Lapetina's newest exhibit, "Floating Nothingness," will be on display until Feb. 18. There will be a reception for Lapetina from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m today, at which he will answer any questions observers might have about his paintings.
