Carter gave all the credit for the exhibit to Ms. Lipe, who teaches kindergarten through 5th-grade students at Vance Elementary. She was named the North Carolina Arts Educators Association “Art Educator of the Year” in 2017-2018.

Japanese metal band Boris returns to the Peel, after last playing in support of their ground-breaking album, Pink, over a decade ago. Their sound has journeyed from metal, drone, pop, noise, punk and shoegaze, but one thing is for sure: their live shows will be loud and heavy.
