The artist will lead the youth in the creativ e process, from client <br />meetings to design iteration to consulting with fabricators. The artist <br />will manage the artistic process and serv e as professional mentor, <br />while the youth will build their portfolios with a BIPOC artist as role <br />model/mentor. <br />A selection team will serv e as “client” and will include representativ es <br />from CA&C, Transit, Chapel Hill Arts Commission, Transit Adv isory <br />Board, and NAACP. To assemble the artistic team, CA&C will issue an <br />RFQ to Triangle-area artists who identify as BIPOC, asking for <br />portfolios and experience working with youth. Based on artistic <br />excellence and experience, the selection team will choose the Project <br />Artist. The NAACP Youth Council will select four BIPOC youth, <br />focusing on youth with an interest in the arts. <br />The Project Artist will conduct a series of design workshops to co- <br />create art with the youth, including concept dev elopment, iterations <br />based on client feedback, and final design dev elopment. CA&C and <br />NAACP will coordinate those workshops, including social distancing <br />and v irtual platforms as needed. The Adv isory/Selection Team will <br />prov ide feedback throughout the design dev elopment and approv e <br />final design. Once the design is final, CA&C will facilitate <br />communications between artist and fabricator/installer. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 6D02E00A-782E-435B-836E-E110AB839C30
