North Carolina’s <br />“stay at home” order <br />(Executive Order <br />117) had a profound <br />impact on the arts <br />sector. Describe the <br />specific steps your <br />organization took to <br />comply with <br />Executive Order 117. <br />To comply with the executive order, the business opening was <br />postponed. For the safety of our team and community and because <br />we couldn't afford to rent the building with no way to have anyone <br />inside of the space we decided to postpone the opening until this fall. <br />We were very lucky that the landlord held the space for us. <br />Please explain the <br />impact of your <br />organization on the <br />Orange County <br />community in a <br />typical year. <br />As an integrated art, education, retail, and event space, Peel seeks to <br />create a dynamic model that promotes accessibility, inspires <br />creativity, and enables/empowers the whole community through a <br />diversity of use and programming. <br />Peel will <br />Serve and represent the whole community through an emphasis on <br />including works by artists marginalized by sexuality, ethnicity, <br />gender, disability, class-status, formal educational level, or <br />immigration status. <br />provide space for local photographers to make, scan, and print their <br />own work. <br />Furnish artists with a place to meet, share their work, attend <br />workshops, and have their work photographed. <br />Collaborate with LEVEL Retreat, Cosmic Rays, Carrboro Arts Center, <br />and Attic 506 on public art initiatives and socially distanced outdoor <br />events (rooftop screenings, murals, site-specific performances, etc) <br />Make available space for the community to use for public and private <br />events. <br />Present streaming art talks, lectures, and screenings via the gallery’s <br />website for accessibility and wider reach of eyes and ears <br />Offer development opportunities for emerging and student artists <br />and curators, especially PoC, to increase representation and access <br />to resources, grants, press, collectors, fellowships, internships, and <br />mentorship. <br />Lift up Carrboro’s independent arts scene while exciting and <br />empowering collaboration towards more equitable community <br />growth, through new conversations and community-centered <br />programming, residencies, public art projects, and artist-led <br />outreach. <br />Utilize organizational power to address the role of the arts in urban <br />development and gentrification in our local community. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 9783D740-420C-4619-99CF-83FA179BF1B0
