<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2025 Site Agreement <br />Thank you for your interest in hosting one of sixty works of art to be featured during Uproar Festival of Public Art! The purpose <br />of Uproar is to help drive visitation into our downtown communities by transforming Orange County into a month-long arts <br />destination. We appreciate your help in making this possible! <br />Uproar site FAQ’S <br />Q: What is the timeline? <br />A: Uproar kicks off Friday, August 1 and runs through Saturday, August 23. Work will be installed the weeks of July 21 <br />(Triangle-based artists) and July 28 (out-of-town artists) and uninstalled August 24 - 27. Our team will coordinate with you <br />to determine the best installation time based on artists’ availability (many are from out of town) and equipment needs, so <br />we appreciate your flexibility. <br />Q: Do I have input in what art I’m agreeing to host? <br />A: The Uproar team has selected work to match the site types based on the specific needs of our art, and the specific <br />offerings of your site, such as ground surface and open space. It’s like putting together a very difficult puzzle, and we ask for <br />you to trust our team and our Artist Selection Panel. The beauty of art is that it is subjective and not everyone loves the <br />same thing, but factoring personal taste into this logistics puzzle would make Uproar coordination almost impossible. <br />Q: How will hosting art benefit my business? <br />A: Uproar is essentially a big scavenger hunt. Throughout the month, people will seek out the artwork throughout our <br />communities and vote on their favorite (the People’s Choice winner and 1st Place winner each win $10,000!). As an Uproar <br />site, you will benefit from foot-traffic as well as inclusion in the Uproar website, printed and online maps, the Uproar voting <br />platform, and more. <br />Q: What if something happens to the art? <br />A: Uproar artists are encouraged to purchase liability insurance for their work in the event of damage or theft. They will be <br />required to sign a hold harmless agreement releasing you of any liability related to the work. However, as a site, we ask that <br />you do your best to look after your art during the festival, ensuring that it remains visible, unobstructed, and protected <br />within your abilities (see more information in the agreement terms below). <br />Q: Will the art alter my property? <br />A: All art will be installed by a paid team of professional art handlers. If any alterations to your property are required (such as <br />anchoring work to concrete, or hanging work from an outside wall of your building), this will be discussed with you in <br />advance and your site returned to its original space after the festival. We will not alter your property without your <br />permission. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Docusign Envelope ID: AEDB9072-A8A5-46E9-8A78-5A2F19BB6584
