AIR: Art, Health, History

Join CPH and The ArtsCenter in Carrboro for a Learning-Making-Tasting event that explores a broad topic from many angles and with all the senses.

Air is everywhere. It fills our lungs as well as the skies above us. We traverse vast distances by flying through it, and we limit our horizons by polluting it. Carolina Public Humanities and the ArtsCenter in Carrboro invite you to an interactive, multi-disciplinary evening about AIR: mini-talks from experts in music, medicine, and history, as well as hands-on art making and coffee tastings. We’ll explore this vast topic using all the senses. Light dinner and childcare available for kids aged 5-17.
