All agreed <br /> iii) Need help getting word out for the next two show openings since the <br /> shows are solo artists versus group shows. <br /> iv) Chamber Orchestra is not moving into the Mill as previously announced. <br /> Bull City is still moving into the Mill <br /> b) UPROAR Festival — Kicks off 2nd Friday of July 2023 with Art Walk in Chapel <br /> Hill (7/14/2023) and runs through middle of August (Saturday 8/12/23) <br /> c) September board meeting moved to September 19th instead of the 9/12 — <br /> all agreed. <br /> d) AEP6 Survey- Arts Economic survey — all three towns are partnering with us <br /> to lead the survey effort. Extremely important activity to show how much <br /> money our non-profits spend on salary, supplies, etc. and how much money <br /> art attendees spend in the community -- such as dining out, gas, babysitter, <br /> etc. Survey questions must be answered at art events during the survey <br /> period. Katie needs board volunteers to conduct the surveys during August <br /> and September openings. Need a certain % of answers from people attending <br /> art events serving communities of color. Surveys can be conducted at any <br /> nonprofit event — UNC, Art Center, Eno Mill, PlayMakers, concerts, dance, <br />
