Artist Experience The Collage Stop workshops include events in Orange County that Erin and <br />I have collaborated on and individually facilitated at The Carrboro <br />ArtsCenter, The North Carolina Institute of Art Therapy, The Richmond Arts <br />Center, Eno Arts Mill and via USPS. Participants at the ArtsCenter were <br />invited to make a seasonal card to give or send to someone. This work <br />table was featured as the craft component of the annual ELF holiday <br />market. Participants at the NCATI were invited to create, then install their <br />collages in the gallery located within the NCATI. This event resulted in a <br />group show that filled the gallery walls with about 180 participants coming <br />through the event. During the peak of COVID, we pivoted the format of the <br />in person workshops to be a mail art workshop that drew around 190 <br />participants from all over the world to request a free collage kit. <br />Participants were invited to share their completed collages on a digital <br />bulletin board and send their collages either back to us or pass along to a <br />friend. In 2022, in partnership with the NCATI and Eno Arts Mill, we hosted <br />an exquisite corpse workshop with scraps purchased form four local artists. <br />The pieces were featured in an exhibition at Eno Arts mill the following <br />month. Proceeds from the sale of two of the pieces went to NCATI. In April <br />2024 The Collage Stop created a participatory event in tandem with One <br />Point Five Degrees Celsius at Eno Arts MIll. Participants were invited to <br />create birds from scraps from studios of The Collage Stop's founding <br />Members, Erin McCluskey W heeler and Mer Haggerty. participants then <br />painted their birds with natural pigments sourced and processed by Natalia <br />Torres del Valle. The birds were used to make mobiles that form a strange <br />murmuration, still installed in the classroom at Eno Arts Mill. <br />Through the Collage Stop, we have commissioned and repurposed scraps <br />from artists including Sean Bailey, Holly Cahill, Jason Lord, Chieko <br />Murasugi, Samir Knego and our own studio scraps. <br />How do you plan to <br />market your project? <br />W e will announce the events on our social media platform, send an <br />invitation to our e mail list and, if helpful, reach out to OCNC with material <br />for a post as well. Peel will also create posts regarding this event and <br />place the events on their printed and online calendars. <br />PROJECT/PROGRAM <br />BUDGET <br />Please fill out the charts below with your project's expenses and income. <br />Use the "Explanation" box to offer details for each category.
