Director's Report: <br /> a. Orange County Arts Support Fund <br /> The GoFundMe campaign has raised $64,736 as of today. <br /> Donations have significantly slowed. And the number of <br /> applications for the third round (2 organizations and 28 <br /> individuals) was smaller. After discussion, the decision <br /> was made to keep the fund open. A suggestion was made <br /> to put a footer in emails to promote the fund. <br /> b. Eno Mill update. <br /> Diversity is important. We are seeking artists of color. One space <br /> is being held open for an artist in residence or curator in residence. <br /> We started renting the big open space as of August 1 st. The mill <br /> offered us risk-free terms. We hope to curate 3-4 shows per year. <br /> A group show is also a possibility. <br /> c. Art on the Hill —July 2021 <br />
