The ArtsCenter will provide one year of youth educational and arts activities that reach approximately 30,000 children primarily from Orange County. The ArtsCenter provides high quality education to Orange County students through School Shows, where we bring world class artists to perform at little or no cost to the school. We also provide artist residencies to Title 1 schools, summer ArtsCamps and an Afterschool Arts Immersion Program taught by professional Teaching Artists. By seeking funding for scholarships in our afterschool program and the Artist Residencies in Orange County Schools we are helping to fulfill Board of Orange County Commissioners Goal #6. "Ensure a high quality of life and lifelong learning that champions diversity, education at all levels ..." The ArtsCenter is also fostering the priority within Goal #6 to "increase support to expand pre- kindergarten services" by collaborating with the Ready for K programs for low- income families that take place at Carrboro Elementary. e) Describe the community need or problem to be addressed in relation to the Chapel Hill Human Services Needs Assessment, Orange County BOCC Goals and Priorities, Town of Chapel Hill Council Goals, Carrboro Board Priorities, or other community priorities (i.e. Council /Board Goals). Reference local data (using the provided links, i.e. Chapel Hill Human Services Needs Assessment) to support the need for this program. Support for the Youth Education Program at The ArtsCenter will foster Goal #1' s success by "promoting the well -being of county residents." Our education programs provide much needed support to bring arts education to five Title 1 schools in Orange County. The Artist in Residence programs provide arts experiences to all children in these schools focusing intensive learning experiences with 24 classrooms within these schools through a five -day residency with a professional Teaching Artist. These classrooms experience exceptional curriculum based arts programing and will continue to do so with your support. With your support as well as that of our other funding sources we provided over $20,000 in youth experiences and scholarships. f) Who is your target population of individuals to benefit from this program and how will they be identified and connected with the program? ArtsCenter youth department demographics closely reflect the demographics of our Orange County Schools because we bring field trips to The ArtsCenter to see School Shows (Central Elementary, New Hope Elementary and Efland Cheeks Elementary, and Grady Brown Elementary) and serve over 1,800 children. We also bring touring artists directly into local schools for performances for the entire student body, and bring teaching artists into 4 PROGRAM INFORMATION 1/23/2018 1:53:53 PM Page 14 of 22
