On January 1-8, Boxyard will be temporarily closed and events have been canceled due to construction. We’re excited to welcome you back when we reopen January 9. Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we work to bring you an even better experience.
Does anyone else miss the excitement of travel and exposure to cultures not easily found in North Carolina? “Think globally, dance locally” is our new motto, so we’re hosting an eclectic line-up of musicians for “Hear and There,” your passport to celebrate the sounds of the world.
Stop by at lunchtime on Wednesdays to hear international instruments and grooves on the BeatBox stage.
