Strategy Immersion, Handéwa Farms board meetings, Queer Tango, <br />plus more. <br />In terms of financial and equitable accessibility, since its beginnings, <br />LAC has always offered sliding scale to participants and artists, <br />prioritizing inclusiv ity and nev er turning anyone away for lack of <br />funds. Our ideal is to prov ide accessible admission as much as <br />possible, depending on the resources av ailable to us. W e utilize a <br />sliding scale ticketing model and v alue the widest possible <br />community access. W e promote accessibility in all our ev ents and <br />rev iew our space selection with that in mind. Our ev ents will be <br />accessible by bus and we always encourage participants to carpool <br />when av ailable. <br />People trav el from out of town, city and state to participate in our <br />ev ents. W e bring awareness to local business and often partner with <br />local restaurants for pre or post ev ent meals. <br />Please explain your <br />intended use of a <br />Restart the Arts <br />Grant, if awarded. <br />W e hav e been holding the abov e described ev ent in Orange County <br />throughout the pandemic both priv ately (with a fee for attendance) <br />and sponsored (free to attend). W e held Dancewav es multiple times a <br />week pre-pandemic and generally pay the artist/collaborators 40-60% <br />of our budget. <br />W e currently receiv e $1200 per month from the Hillsborough Arts <br />Council to put on this ev ent in the Riv er Park as part of the Last <br />Friday Art W alk from 6-9pm (we actually start at 5pm because we <br />want to offer extra programming). Our goal is to use these grant <br />funds to keep this ev ent going monthly. If we are able to get more <br />funds, we will do bi-weekly and potentially in other locations <br />throughout the county. W e currently offer this ev ent for free, with the <br />opportunity for people to contribute to the artist fund which we put <br />towards bringing in more artists and prov iding them with food. <br />About the Ev ent: <br />Liv ing Arts Dancewav es create an inclusiv e space for indiv iduals <br />to mov e freely and express themselv es creativ ely. <br />Participants experience the euphoria of music, <br />rhythm, and connection with themselv es, others, and <br />their env ironment. <br />Ov er the course of 90 minutes, liv e and/ or curated <br />music is wov en together in a wav e format- starting <br />slow, building to a peak, and then returning to silence. <br />Musicians, artists, and performers from the Liv ing Arts <br />Dancewav es are a v ersatile activ ity that is inclusiv e <br />of all ages, physical bodies, cultural backgrounds, <br />identities, and dance abilities. W e striv e to create a <br />space that is welcoming to all. <br />These continued monthly ev ents will focus on cultural education <br />(through music, plant walks, and local Indigenous elders), <br />intergenerational gathering and inclusiv ity, the arts, and consent- <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: A6EB2798-CEF7-4336-831E-E241A0F6792C
