Orange County, those with explicitly dire financial needs, or members of <br />marginalized groups. <br />W e have been hard at work for years making LEVEL a peaceful and <br />inspiring place for creative people to visit. Our artists-in-residence have full <br />access to our 14 acres in southern Chapel Hill, including a pond, wooded <br />walking trails, fields, and our working goat farm and gardens. W e aim to <br />provide our visitors with quiet and solitude, but also enjoy preparing meals <br />with them, or chatting late into the night by our fire pit. <br />Following the three residences, we will schedule a gathering at LEVEL, <br />where anyone can come meet our residents, learn about their recent work, <br />and share their own thoughts and ideas. This will be a free event, open to <br />the public, so that we may best forge new friendships and cultural <br />exchanges. Pending discussion and planning with our artists-in-residence, <br />aspects of the gathering may include an artist talk/roundtable, <br />presentations of their artwork, and/or prompted collaborative artmaking. <br />W e are enormously thankful for all of OCAC’s previous financial support of <br />LEVEL’s artist residency programming. As we continue our residency and <br />farm operations, with additional near-term goals of expanding our available <br />working space for local artists, a 2025-2026 Artist Project Grant allows us <br />to directly help local artists and to continue our mission of fostering ever <br />stronger creative collaboration and conversation in our beloved Orange <br />County. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 92155A5A-7A99-4722-BC7D-31606B63E8B9
