Summary Statement for Proposed Uses of Arts Program Grant 1
OCAG is respectfully asking for funding to offset a portion of the associated costs of the development
and printing of 10,000 copies of a user-friendly year round directory of OCAG artists' artwork and
contact information. This directory will showcase the work of over 100 local artists residing in Orange
County. The directory will be a vital promotional instrument and resource for OCAG to use in
promoting the opportunities offered to art lovers and collectors from Orange County and beyond to
explore and enjoy the wealth of Orange County's rich art culture.
Arts Program Application Narrative
Organizational Profile
The Orange County Artists Guild (OCAG) established in 2001, is a volunteer-run,
501(c) 3 non-profit organization of 117 artist members residing in Orange County,
North Carolina. The Mission of OCAG is to promote the growth and appreciation of
the art and fine craft of local artists; to contribute to the vibrancy and economy of
Orange County; to foster continuing arts education, growth and development of guild
members; and to provide opportunities for artists to exhibit their work. The guild is
governed by a volunteer board made up of OCAG members. Members donate their
time and skills to organizing all guild projects and events.
Current Programs and Services
The Guild's purpose is to promote Orange County as a quality art destination year
round by:
• Hosting an annual Orange County Open Studio Tour, held the first two
weekends in November;
• Hosting an annual information, education and demonstration booth at Festifall
for 15,000 attendees;
• Maintaining a list of over 117 member artists, their contact information and the
location of their studios;
• Providing a website to promote OCAG members' artwork with contact
information for an artist liaison to respond to queries about the guild and its
artists from members of the public;
• Offering an organizational Facebook page and a blog publicizing members'
events and recent artwork, articles written by members about artistic process
and inspiration, and a publicly accessible calendar of members' events;
• Hosting quarterly meetings for local artists with educational programs and
speakers;
• Coordinating forums and workshops on art related topics;
• Promoting and organizing self-led artist interest and learning groups.
Proposed Uses of Grant Funds
OCAG is respectfully asking for funding to offset a portion of the associated costs of
the development and printing of a user-friendly, year-round directory of OCAG
artists' artwork and contact information. While the guild successfully showcases
members' art each year by hosting the annual Open Studio Tour the first two
weekends in November, our goal is to expand our outreach by connecting the
community with local art throughout the year by publishing a year round directory.
The Studio Tour brings visitors of all ages and all ethnic and socio-economic
backgrounds to artists' studios. We anticipate that this same variety of art lovers will
use our directory to visit artists' studios year-round. The directory will showcase the
work of over 100 local OCAG artists residing in Orange County. Our present
membership of 117 is comprised of 92 female and 25 male artists who come from
diverse ethnic backgrounds and varied socioeconomic levels. The directory will
include sample images of the work of these artists, their contact information, where
the public can see their work and their website information.
The directory will be available at visitor centers, hotels, B&Bs, etc. as well as on our
website year-round. It will be a vital promotional instrument for the guild and an
important resource for art lovers and collectors from Orange County and beyond
which expands the opportunities offered to them to explore and enjoy the wealth of
Orange County's rich art culture at any time of the year
OCAG is committed to conserving resources. The directory will be printed on paper
from responsible resources putting less strain on our environment. To offset
expenses, the directory will have additional space for local advertisers to purchase
and place ads. OCAG plans to print 10,000 copies with distribution beginning in
February 2014. To keep the information current, it will be updated each spring as
new artists join the guild and updated copies will be made available throughout the
year. Along with mailing some of the directories, members of the guild will work
together to distribute them in the Triangle area and other key locations throughout
the state.
The Orange County Artists Guild depends on support from member fees and
donations from the community. Additional support from the Orange County Arts
Commission would help assure that this project is successful. Creation of the year-
round directory would support the guild's promotional efforts by adding an important
additional instrument to OCAG's variety of platforms designed to connect art lovers
locally, state wide and beyond with the great variety of high quality art available in
our area at any time of the year, not just during the November Open Studio Tour.
