Please explain the <br />impact of your <br />organization on the <br />Orange County <br />community in a <br />typical year. <br />W e are proud to take our teaching-artists to rural areas throughout <br />the state where there are economic impediments to arts access. In <br />our Arts In Residence (AIR) program, we leav e TheArtsCenter to <br />bring immersiv e arts interv entions to 65 classrooms and ov er 1,300 <br />students in communities in North Orange County that are ov er 50% <br />free and reduced lunch. These populations lack the infrastructure to <br />bring children to arts classes that are a 30 minute driv e in priv ate <br />transportation and impossible to reach by public transportation.W e <br />also prov ide a touring program to fiv e counties' (W ake, Orange, <br />Durham, Alamance, and Chatham) schools. W e prov ide a school <br />shows series that aligns with NC Education Standards andis <br />affordable because of our block booking system. W e help with <br />logistics for theses schools who don't hav e the time to manage <br />larger performances, and seek their adv ice through a Cultural <br />Enrichment Committee meeting annually that discusses needs for <br />these schools. <br />The ArtsCenter serv es as an economic engine, the hub of Carrboro's <br />v ibrant creativ e economy, and is a community center where artists <br />connect with and prov ide serv ices to the Triangle community. Using <br />the methodology prov ided by Americans for the Arts, the estimated <br />annual expenditures of attendees of our programming is $4,200,000, <br />resulting 111 FTE jobs in the community and creating $185,700 in <br />local tax rev enue and $211,900 in State tax rev enue. In 2018 as an <br />employer and our employees combined paid $16,596 in state and <br />federally we paid $71,386 in FICA and Medicad payments and $2,163 <br />in unemployment insurance. <br />W e sold 15,586 tickets to ArtsCenter presented shows, alone. <br />Through database analysis we can tell that 13% of those v isitors <br />come from outside of Orange County and come for the ev ening to <br />spend money on dinner and hotel stays. W e had 9,122 v isitors come <br />through The ArtsCenter for our Second Friday exhibits and openings. <br />W e hav e 100 children monthly who participate in our after school <br />programming and help parents with cost effectiv e child care after <br />school. <br />COVID-19 IMPACT <br />DATA <br />This data is for the OCAC's informational purposes only and may or <br />may not be applicable to your organization depending on your <br />structure. <br />Number of Staff <br />Eliminated March 15 <br />- October 15 <br />12PT; 3FT <br />Number of Staff <br />Positions <br />Furloughed/Hours <br />Reduced March 15 - <br />October 15 <br />4FT <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 7676AA4F-A842-45BE-ABD8-BCF64A11EEF8
