public art
Tonight, the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership held its 2nd of four moving conversations inspired by urbanist and community activist Jane Jacobs. This moving conservation, called Inspiring Innovative spaces, focused on existing and planned spaces downtown that promote interactions to spark ideas. Jacobs noted that the most successful public spaces are those with intense use nearby.
When the former Yates Motor Co. Building was taken over on November 13th it was in the process of becoming the temporary home of an art installation for the holiday season - an effort led by the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership. Those events derailed the art installation, but did not curtail it. The art installation will be unveiled this Friday, December 9th, 2011. The road has not been an easy one as described in this blog post by Meg McGurk of the Downtown Partnership.

Come
to the Horace Williams House for a fun night. Food, music, auction of
original artworks - all going to benefit the restoration of Chapel
Hill's murals. The theme is blue. Blue drinks, blue food, blues music.
We're hoping to raise funds to restore the first mural painted in
Chapel Hill, the "Starry Night" a pointillism interpretation of
Franklin Street at night.
http://www.chapelhillpreservation.com/blue.htmIt is part of the ongoing Painted Walls Project that seeks to save Chapel Hill's unique landmarks.
