Join us for extended hours at the Ackland Art Museum during the Carrboro-Chapel Hill 2nd Friday ArtWalk! Each month, we stay open from 5:00 – 9:00 p.m. to give visitors more time to explore.

At 6 p.m., take a tour of the new exhibition Continental Shift: Recent Acquisitions of African Art with curator Peter Nisbet. Free, but space is limited; click here to register for your free ticket.

Stroll through our galleries featuring highlights from a collection of over 21,000 works of art. Sketch in the galleries using free art supplies from our lobby’s art cart.

Admission to the Ackland is always free; no prior registration needed. Whether you’re stopping by solo or bringing friends, come be inspired during our extended open hours!
