Welcome to Tarheelville, where the opportuni-ties for seeing and making art abound! Im yourtour guide, Katelyn. In the 729 acres that make upthe University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill,there are buildings, nooks, hallways and classroomsdesignated for the art of art. Some are less wellknown like the galleries in Wilson and Davislibraries or the photo displays in Carroll Hall while others are beacons for artists of all kinds.Memorial Hall, the largest venue at UNC besides thebasketball arenas, hosts internationally renownedartists every year. On our tour, the student artistsbehind the best known places for paint, music andacting on campus will guide us on our tour!
A universal space on campus, theStudent Union is home to lots of
different art. Before renovations beganlast year, the basement held theCabaret, a performance place formany student performance groups. Inthe hallway between the auditoriumand the main Union lobby is thegallery, which displays changing visualand studio art by student artists.
Swain Hall is the placefor communicationsstudies. There arestudios used for film-ing, recording andputting on small plays.Theres also a shop forcreating sets and adigital storytelling labfor editing.
Hanes Art Center ishuge! The 45,000-square-foot buildinghouses everything atraditional artistneeds studios forprintmaking, painting,photography andelectronic media,
plus a gallery andtwo libraries. Itsthe perfect place tovisit for inspirationor express yourself.
Walking past Hill Hall is likewalking with a constant musicbox! Originally the CarnegieLibrary, Hill was transformed intoan auditorium for choirs and gleeclubs. Fit with a classic pipeorgan, it is always buzzing withmusic department concerts orrehearsing student groups.

Katherine Proctor. Writer. Actress. Face-paint ex-traordinaire.Te sophomore who is studying English,
Communication, and CreativeWriting at UNC doesnthesitate to call hersel an artist.
Witty-minded and admit-tedly gooy, Proctor proessesthat writing, though not al-ways included in the artistdescription, is one o the nestarts.
Writing is denitely an ar t,she said. Its the creation or oundation o a lot o other
arts. Writing is like cheese it exists in the world.Proctor, an assistant editor at Te Daily ar Heel, says
she has always been a writer. She started, as most do,with short stories.
Teyre quick and creative. You dont have to l aborover them or ages, which, when youre rst starting out,is incredibly daunting. You can really dive into a char-acter and quickly resolve whatevers going on in theirlive, she said.
From short stories, she branched o writing one-act plays, eature-length screenplays, monologues andarticles.
It wasnt until this all that she rst dipped her oot
into perormance art.Im not a perormer. I didnt do plays in high school.
I dont give speeches. Even when supremely intoxicat-ed, Im more likely to hide under a table than dance on
