occur within Orange County, either at LEVEL or at another venue, like with one of our past collaborators such as: • Peel Gallery • Attic 506 • Cosmic Rays • BASEMENT • Arts Everywhere • The ArtsCenter • Shadowbox • Cat’s Cradle • Haw River Assembly • Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership • North Carolina Botanical Garden • UNC Our individual events tend to draw many tens of participants, and we estimate total attendees of LEVEL-organized events over the years to be well over 500 people. W ith that in mind, we estimate our 2024-2025 artist- in-resident events to impact, in total, 100-150 participants – but this number could be lower or higher depending on the particulars around each artist-in-residence event. Attendee numbers may also change according to the amount of funding received; with a lower amount we may reduce the number of residencies, events, or total residency time. (Therefore, we selected “No” to the “able to fulfill the full scope of your project” question.) Across all the events, we work closely with our artists to ensure a high degree of organization and professionalism. LEVEL commits ourselves to promoting the events across physical (e.g. local newspapers and flyers) and digital (e.g. social networks, our website, and online calendars) media. Our events are generally all ages, unless the subject matter or logistics make for an inappropriate experience for younger viewers. W e aim for all events to be intimate, thought provoking, social, and inclusive – all demographics are welcome, and the events are always free of charge. Artist Experience Our missions at LEVEL include: • Providing a private, peaceful, and pastoral live/work space for profound and focused artistic expression and experimentation • Fostering creative dialogues between artists within and outside of our community • Supporting emerging, DIY, contemporary, and experimental art forms that tend to have less institutional backing W e have hosted fourteen artists-in-residence total over our eight years of programming. Nine of these residencies were made possible by OCAC Artist Grant funding, as follows: • Caroline Kern (2023) to work on a book about living with mild traumatic brain injury, post concussion syndrome, and Long COVID. Conducted an artist talk at Attic 506 and three art-making workshops at LEVEL. • sTo Len (2022) for a print-making residency focused on our local watersheds, resulting in large prints created from trash removed from the Docusign Envelope ID: 2044B413-D3E6-4C77-B4D8-4143D2D32184
