Arts & entertainment
Immerse yourself in the arts! Whether you prefer live music or live theater, art galleries or wish to discover new works of art at a museum - Orange County is a magnet for artistic talent and world class collections. Come for the enormously popular Paperhand Puppet Intervention summer show at the Forest Theatre or the Last Friday’s Art Walk in Hillsborough. Save the date for the annual Sculpture in the Garden at the North Carolina Botanical Garden. Or, set your sights on one of the ever changing exhibitions at The Ackland Art Museum which is home to a collection of over 20,000 works of art spanning time periods and cultures.
