Uproar Festival of Public Art

Uproar Festival of Public Art is coming to Orange County, North Carolina, Aug. 1-23, 2025.

Sixty bold, high-impact, outdoor works of art will be showcased throughout the downtown communities of Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Hillsborough, and cash prizes will be awarded based on public voting and a jury panel of experts. Be sure to vote to help select the $10,000 People's Choice Winner! Uproar artists represent six states – North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama.

Think of Uproar as a big, artsy scavenger hunt. Uproar will provide a free and accessible arts experience for visitors of all abilities.

Join for a free kickoff party at Eno River Brewing in Hillsborough on Aug. 1 at 6 pm, featuring a performance from Liquid Pleasure.
