Project Goals The are two goals for the Enliv ening Ackland F.A.M. project: 1) <br />introduce young v isitors to artists in our community and 2) make our <br />F.A.M. activ ities more v isible. <br />W ith support from OCAC the Ackland would hire four local artists for <br />workshops/demonstration at Sunday-afternoon Ackland F.A.M. <br />ev ents each quarter. Artists working in different media will be chosen <br />to align with exhibition-based F.A.M. themes, tying their work to the <br />other activ ities and demonstrating that their work is part of lineage of <br />artmaking, enliv ening the art on v iew in Museum galleries. The four <br />exhibitions and artist pairings will be “Drawn to Life: Master Drawings <br />from the Age of Rembrandt in the Peck Collection” (draftsperson), <br />“Houseguests: American Art from the Art Bridges Collection Loan <br />Partnership” (painter), “Good Object/Bad Object” (sculptor), and <br />“Unsettled Things: Art from an African American South” (fiber artist). <br />A new F.A.M. Cart would be a dedicated, highly v isible location for our <br />self-guided F.A.M. activ ities, including Family Activ ity Kits with art- <br />inspired crafts; art-based scav enger hunts; and basic drawing/writing <br />supplies. Currently these materials are placed on tables in the lobby, <br />but when the Museum is used for another ev ent or program, they <br />need to be taken out of the lobby. W ith a mov eable F.A.M. Cart, we <br />could relocate the materials to another gallery and keep them <br />av ailable. This would allow all v isitors access to the materials <br />whenev er the Museum is open (or ev en closed for a priv ate ev ent!). <br />Audience Description The intended audience for Enliv ening Ackland F.A.M. is local families <br />that include children in the preschool to middle school age range. <br />Ackland staff estimates roughly 200 families per month would take <br />adv antage of Ackland F.A.M. programming (the number of Family <br />Activ ity Kits currently picked up each month). The Ackland does not <br />ask for demographic information for program participants, but since <br />the target audience is local Chapel Hill and Carrboro families, we <br />assume the audience would hav e similar demographics to those of <br />the surrounding towns. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 0D2AFD45-3C8E-43B8-8720-60054E1F7869
