The Curator's Tour of "Care and Concern" is a guided gallery walk at the Ackland Art Museum focusing on modern and contemporary works by Native American artists. Led by associate curator Lauren Turner, this hour-long session offers an insider look at the museum's newest acquisitions and the stories behind them. To make the most of your visit, keep in mind that this event is best suited for adults and teenagers who can comfortably navigate a quiet gallery space for an hour. Admission is free, but you must register online in advance to secure a spot because group sizes are kept small. For parking, the Rams Head Deck or nearby street meters along Franklin Street are your best options, though you should allow an extra fifteen minutes to park and walk to the museum entrance. This Friday evening tour is an excellent excuse to head to Chapel Hill for an early dinner on Franklin Street followed by a dose of local culture. It is a manageable, low-stress way to squeeze some art into your weekend without a massive time commitment.
