The four winning students will receive funds to bring their projects to life and add a touch of creativity to Carolina’s campus.
Arts Everywhere Day will be returning on April 9. The annual event is a celebration of the arts that encourages the entire Carolina community to engage with diverse arts experiences and raise awareness of the breadth and depth of the arts at UNC-Chapel Hill.
Whether it’s the stairways of Fetzer Hall or on the walls of UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School’s undergraduate floor, Arts Everywhere is adding color to Carolina’s campus by sponsoring murals in various locations.
Studio art major Kaleb Lyda ’21 discusses his “Obscura Domes,” which is a pinhole camera sculpture comprised of wood, plastic and glass. Lyda’s work, which will be located on Polk Place, is part of a campuswide initiative called Arts Everywhere Day on April 12.
The machines, which have been installed in various locations on campus, deliver fiction and poetry from Carolina writers. The installation is a collaboration between Arts Everywhere, UNC Press, the College of Arts & Sciences’ Department of English and Comparative Literature, and publishing company Short Edition.
