DocuSign Envelope ID:A71 C3E54-9B93-4195-AE3F-FD44AE971 DA4 <br /> Location Description This event takes place in Hillsborough, NC. The walk begins at the <br /> Eno River Farmer's Market Pavilion on Margaret Lane, where <br /> participants gather and lineup. They travel west on the River Walk <br /> and make a large loop just before the path crosses the Eno River on <br /> the west side of town. The walk ends at the exit from River Walk at <br /> Weaver Street, or participants can continue back to the Pavilion. <br /> Hillsborough's River Walk is a paved pathway that follows the Eno <br /> River through the south end of Downtown Hillsborough. All entry and <br /> exit points are handicap accessible. There are no stairs and no rough <br /> terrain along the walk, and only slight hills on a paved walkway. <br /> Because it is a public walkway with multiple entry points, participants <br /> can choose to join the Solstice Lantern Walk for the entire route, or <br /> shorten their walk to suit their abilities and needs. <br /> Educational programs will take place in the schools, with specific <br /> locations determined by the appropriate school staff member. There <br /> are seven elementary schools across Orange County, which serve <br /> more than 400 students through after-school programming. Many of <br /> which meet in cafeterias or gymnasiums, providing ample space for <br /> the teaching artists to work with the kids. <br /> Artist Description The artists for this project have not yet been chosen but will be <br /> comprised of mixed media artists who can assist school children with <br /> lantern-making workshops. These will be selected by an open call for <br /> volunteers and chosen based on their artistic skills and background. <br /> Priority will be given to Hillsborough, NC artists who show both an <br /> understanding of the materials provided and a superior quality and <br /> craftsmanship in the creation of their work. HAC will not be jurying on <br /> the aesthetic properties of the work the artists create to exhibit or <br /> sell. <br /> Performers will be hired from both direct requests and an open call. <br /> As in past years, HAC will attempt to hire musicians who embody the <br /> Native American history of the area. This will be done through direct <br /> contact or referrals and an open if needed. HAC will open a call for <br /> performers (music, dance, conceptual, or other) to be stationed <br /> along River Walk and in River Park during the event. <br /> Are you hiring Yes <br /> multicultural artists <br /> with the requested <br /> funds from this <br /> grant? <br /> What is the total 900 <br /> amount you will pay <br /> the multicultural <br /> artists with the funds <br /> you receive from this <br /> grant? <br />
