Look around Carolina, and you’ll notice that the arts are everywhere on the basketball court mural outside Morrison Residence Hall, in the short story dispensers around campus and even online, where many student groups have been performing since the pandemic started.
The arts hold a prominent place in Carolina’s culture thanks, in part, to Arts Everywhere, a comprehensive initiative that supports arts organizations, departments and events. That mission is showcased each year during Arts Everywhere Day, which features interactive activities, special performances, art installations and exhibitions. It’s a chance for Tar Heels to create and engage with art.

Making new friends and building lasting connections has been hard for Carolina sophomore Lindsay Greene because so much of her college experience has been online due to the pandemic.
But thanks to the new Art Pen Pals program established by Arts Everywhere, Carolina Housing and the College of Arts & Science’s Department of Art and Art History, Greene has been able to do just that by creating art and sending it to her pen pal through the mail.
“My experience has been missing the part of college I had always looked forward to, which is meeting a ton of people and making more friends,” said Greene, who is majoring in computer science and linguistics. “I love my current friend group, but I definitely feel like there’s more people out there who I’m supposed to meet, and this was one way of doing that.”
