Community Art Walk Launches in Chapel Hill; Some Paintings Reported Missing
Downtown Chapel Hill became a little more colorful this weekend than it was before, as a pop-up art walk appeared along Franklin Street.
The Science and Hope Art Walk, which began its display on Thursday, features more than 80 pieces of original art celebrating achievements made by local, state and national leaders over the last year. Much of the artwork thanks scientists, healthcare workers, teachers, local business owners and others who play a role in helping the community and country through the COVID-19 pandemic.
Displayed from Henderson Street, down Franklin Street and down South Graham Street, the art pieces are propped up along areas of the Town of Chapel Hill’s extended sidewalk. Completed by artists of all ages, the project is a follow-up to October’s Meet the Moment pop-up art walk, which had an activism and social justice theme.
Orange County Health Department Transitions to Walk-Up Vaccination Clinics
The Orange County Health Department is changing up its operations as more county residents are vaccinated, vaccine supply increases and community demand wavers.
In Orange County, roughly 46 percent of residents are partially vaccinated, having received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. At least 36 percent of the county is fully vaccinated.
With these high percentages, Orange County is one of the leaders in the state in terms of vaccination efforts. Statewide, 37 percent of North Carolinians have received at least one dose.
Quintana Stewart, the director of the Orange County Health Department, said the department hit a big milestone just last week, administering its 10,000th first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
