Artist Experience Since 2016, LEVEL has dev oted itself to being a creativ e oasis in Chapel Hill for artists of all disciplines. Thanks to prev ious support from OCAC Artist Project Grants, we hav e hosted four v isiting artists- in-residence as well as three local artists during the onset of the pandemic in 2020-2021. W e hav e also welcomed experimental filmmakers Kelly Sears and Ben Pender-Cudlip, UNC and Carolina Performing Arts fellow Robin Frohardt, Duke/UNC v isiting professor Jace Clayton (aka DJ /rupture), v isual reconstructionist Jill Moffett, and Paint it Orange plein air artists Rose Kennedy and Katharine March. W ith our tenth and most recent artist-in-residence, sTo Len, we hosted an artist talk on the rooftop of Attic 506 (similar to what we hav e planned for Caroline Kern) on March 25, 2022. This ev ent garnered enthusiastic praise from a crowd of ov er 40 local artists and art lov ers, as well as the tenants of Attic 506 itself – an experience we’re excited to replicate. Other past LEVEL-hosted ev ents hav e included community walks, gallery shows, workshops, and collaborations with local art organizations such as The ArtsCenter, UNC’s Arts Ev erywhere, Peel Gallery, Cat’s Cradle, and the Downtown Partnership of Chapel Hill. Caroline Kern, aka Caroline Paquita (1998-2021), is a multi- disciplinary artist liv ing and working in NYC. Her work currently rev olv es around Risograph printing, illustration, experimental v ideo, and machine tufting. Founded in 2011 after self publishing since 1996, she is the sole proprietress of Pegacorn Press, which is a feminist, queer, “total-art-freaker,” publishing adv enture. She has collaborated with countless artists to produce publications using Risograph stencil duplicators, as well as other printed ephemera. These publications hav e been extensiv ely exhibited and distributed nationally and internationally through art book fairs, in stores, and sold online.
