DocuSign Envelope ID:2DC91 B42-0BEB-408E-9CE4-9D1485667114 <br /> ethnic and racial distribution of students who received scholarships to ArtsCamp was 14% <br /> African-American, 6% Asian, 50% Hispanic/ Latino, and 30% Caucasian. <br /> Not only does The ArtsCenter provide all ArtsCamp campers with valuable arts <br /> experiences during their summer break from school, we also support local artists by providing <br /> them with contract teaching positions for camps throughout the summer, as their schedules <br /> allow. These local, working artists provide our campers with hands-on, skills-building learning <br /> opportunities in various forms of visual and performing arts. ArtsCamp employs approximately <br /> 50 teaching artists each summer, nearly all of whom reside in the Triangle. Many instructors <br /> return to the ArtsCenter annually and depend on ArtsCamp for all or part of their summer <br /> incomes. We provide them with the opportunity to fine tune their teaching skills and explore <br /> new techniques with campers. Teaching artists report learning more about their own teaching <br /> styles through their experiences at ArtsCamp and observing the growth of camper skills <br /> developed through ArtsCamp. <br /> Artists scheduled to join us for the coming summer are: Erin Oliver (mixed media and <br /> visual arts), Adam Dodds (darkroom and digital photography),Juliana Fadl (fiber arts), Cody <br /> Platt (fiber arts and mixed media), Brianna Gribben (fiber arts and mixed media), Rio Aubry <br /> Taylor (cartooning,graphic novels, zine-writing),Jerry Sipp (theatre), Anita Woodley (theatre <br /> and creative movement), Amy Keenan-Amago (visual arts), Richard Cloudt (cartooning and <br /> drawing techniques),Jose Velasquez (hip hop dance),Jesse Seim (ceramics),James Ward <br /> (ceramics), Delores Hayes (ceramics) ,Jill Fine (creative movement), Katie Frohbose (digital <br /> arts), Sarah Shapero (fiber arts), Maria Piskor (improve acting), River Takada- Cape! (sewing and <br /> fiber arts),Jason Abide (ceramics), Melissa Rygaiski (visual arts),Jim McQuaid (filmmaking), <br /> Linda Collura (visual arts), Erika Vinson (hip hop dance and creative movement). <br /> We thank the Commission for its past generous support. If awarded the requested <br /> $1 500, The ArtsCenter will be able to expand its reach to more students who are in need of <br /> financial assistance to attend Summer ArtsCamp. The funding will cover costs of materials and <br /> paying our local teaching artists for their time and expertise. The students chosen for an <br /> Orange County Arts Commission funded ArtsCamp scholarship will be from families residing in <br /> Orange County. <br /> I <br />
