NC Musicians Mural Trail The NC Musician Murals Project began as a casual arrangement between artist Scott Nurkin and the owner of Pepper’s Pizza in Chapel Hill. Nurkin would create portraits of renowned NC musicians to cover a blank wall in the restaurant in exchange for “free pizza for life”. Today, Nurkin’s murals on nine buildings from the mountains to the Piedmont celebrate the transcendent, influential, and groundbreaking musicians of North Carolina. Singing on the Land From Historic Halifax in the east to Horne Creek Farm in the west, many state historic sites will be backdrops for Singing on the Land, a new virtual music project highlighting treasured North Carolina landmarks through the voices of our state's musicians. Developed by North Carolina State Historic Sites and Properties in partnership with the North Carolina Arts Council and Come Hear NC, each installment of the series highlights one of North Carolina’s 27 state designated historic sites. Music at the Mansion This unique concert series, celebrates North Carolina's rich and diverse musical heritage. Hosted at the North Carolina Executive Mansion by First Lady Kristin Cooper, Music at the Mansion was conceived in conjunction with Governor Roy Cooper’s 2019 Year of Music project, Come Hear North Carolina. This video concert series spotlights the state's musical diversity and was made possible with the generous support of the North Carolina Arts Foundation.
