Work Experience:
I have worked in the Arts most of my adult life, mostly in museums and commercial
galleries in this area. I owned a gallery in Downtown Carrboro for two years, I currently
(12/03/01) own a Chapel hill night club and have recently become a realtor. I am opening
a new studio in Carrboro this summer. 12/03/01: Current Owner Bronwyn Merritt
Gallery. I have worked in several art galleries and museums around the state over the
past 15 years. Recently I have curated shows for the Artscenter in Carrboro as a
volunteer and run my own commercial gallery as well. My focus has been on working
with young artists and organizations that support them. My most valuable training comes
from two years at the Weatherspoon Gallery in Greensboro and a year at Somerhill
Gallery in Chapel Hill. I have extensive teaching experience through workshops and as
an art instructor at Guilford Tech, and co-founded the now-defunct non-profit book arts
group Hand-to-Eye, and the BOTA Arts Collective. 02/17/2012: I have owned and
operated a few business in Orange County, and I am now a real estate agent in
Carrboro. I am a homeowner and an investor with 6 years experience as a residential
sales agent.
Volunteer Experience:
I have worked with the Artscenter, the Durham groups Hand-to-Eye and Artomatic, I
have written several arts-related articles for the Independent and I served previously on
the Arts Commission. I work with the Artscenter to maintain and improve its main gallery
by helping to bring in quality shows, curate and hang them. I also do some paperwork
28
Page 2 of 2 Bronwyn Merritt
and publicity associated with those tasks. Artists often ask me to help them with hanging
shows aound town, which I enjoy, and I end up advising young artists on pricing,
presentation, places to show and how to make connections with other artists.
02/17/2012: I have served on the Carrboro Planning Board and the Orange County Arts
Commission. At times, I have worked with the Partnership for Young Children, the
ChapelHill Downtown Commission and various local arts organizations. Through realtor
partners, I have helped Habitat for Humanity and NC Table.
Education:
BA Psychology from Duke, 1987; MFA UNC-Greensboro, 1990. Certificate in Non-Profit
Management Courses and several advanced real estate designations.
Other Comments:
I have close ties to the community right now because of the high visibility my gallery has
given to me, and i feel that I am in a position to voice concerns of art. STAFF
COMMENTS: Applied 12/03/01 for Arts Commission. Reapplied 06/27/2006 for Arts
Commission. Applied 02/17/2012 for E&R Board. I hope to gain a better understanding
of the board's role, and to address inequities where they exist. I believe my experience
will be valuable, both from home sales and my work with various boards, groups and
committees. ADDRESS VERIFICATION: 113 Creekview Circle is in the Barrboro City
limits in Orange County.
