P a g e 15 o f 2 3 <br />educators to help inform TAC of the greatest needs of the <br />neighborhoods they will directly impact with the move. Through these <br />local engagements, TAC is expanding their list of community leaders <br />who can help engage residents in order to create a more inclusive and <br />impactful ArtsCenter. <br />18. During and after the <br />project, what will your <br />continued engagement <br />with the community be? <br />This new ArtsCenter provides the organization an opportunity to <br />flourish as a community center for the arts. Already, TAC is seen as a <br />hub for Orange County to experience the arts. The new location is on a <br />major thoroughfare and is wholly TAC’s space rather than a limited <br />footprint within a commercial complex. An exciting aspect of the new <br />location is that it is next door to a historically black neighborhood as <br />well as a low-income neighborhood that is the heart of Carrboro’s <br />Latinx community. This new site enables The ArtsCenter to create a <br />stronger bond with both the African American community as well as the <br />Latinx community as TAC practices the principles of diversity and <br />inclusion that are essential to the work they do every day. The new <br />location, on a major bus line and a highway linking Chatham, Orange <br />and Durham counties, is convenient for programming, attracting <br />participants from around the region. TAC’s programs currently attract <br />audience from all counties in North Carolina and beyond, and this new <br />venue will enhance TAC’s ability to be a regional center for participating <br />and building skills for artists of diverse backgrounds and skill levels. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: FC54AC26-7897-4270-8EA1-D754CD59EA76
