APPLICANT Printed or typed name: marie rossettie Signature: Date: ,,---- June 1, 2017 I( I DocuSign Envelope ID:66E45008-FB1D-4049-B8DE-1C00A1D64C3E --EV ! r-- This is a request to the Orange County Arts Commission for an Artist Project Grant. We would like to invite Nicholas Chatfield-Taylor to be the first artist in residence at Level Retreat, located at 1465 Smith Level Road in Chapel Hill. Level LLC, established just over a year ago, has been working tirelessly to convert a historic 14 acre Chapel Hill property into an oasis for multidisciplinary artists to temporarily live, work, and be inspired to produce enduring works. We have already renovated a two bedroom cabin (The "Scout House", a former boyscout cabin) which overlooks a tobacco barn from the early 1800s. There are pastures, wooded trails, and a tranquil private lake on site. We believe that the property, in addition to all of the other unique social and cultural amenities of Orange County, will make an inspirational working environment for Mr. Chatfield-Taylor, and future artists in years to come. If awarded, the Artist Project Grant would assist in the development of a sculpture installation and sound performance event, to be enjoyed by the residents of and visitors to Orange County during a dedicated weekend prior to June 30th, 2018. Our goal is to celebrate the vibrant local art scene and raise awareness of opportunities for creatives within the community. Mr. Chatfield-Taylor plans to expand his impressive national portfolio of wooden, igloo-like installations with a new and unique structure, which will permanently reside in Orange County. A premiere of the work will be revealed in a centralized public location (most likely in downtown Carrboro). While the sculptural shelter will be visually intriguing on its own, it will also be outfitted with an FM transmitter and double as a sound installation. Short range broadcasts of pre-recorded audio compilations, as well as intimate soundscapes performed by local musicians over the course of a weekend, will further promote attendance and enhance the community's experience. Visitors drawn to the igloo will receive information about the participating artists, The Orange County Arts Commission, and Level Retreat. Local businesses in walking distance of the exhibit will have an opportunity to promote themselves as well, with coupons or other enticing giveaways as they see fit. Additionally, one lucky winner will be chosen from a free on-site raffle for a weekend vacation at Level Retreat, to be redeemed within one year's time. After the public performance has taken place downtown, the igloo will be transported back to Level Retreat where it was created. The sculptural installation will be nestled into the landscape to provide a shady place for visiting artists to rest and contemplate their work. This will be the first of many outdoor pieces to help inspire artists to visit Orange County and the retreat in pursuit of their own creative endeavors. 1165 SMITH LEVEL RD.

I am a longtime arts and music curator with experience at major museums and universities. I am writing to wholeheartedly endorse Level Retreat's burgeoning artist retreat program, and their plan to bring Nicholas Chatfield-Taylor to Orange County as their premiere artist-in-residence. The Orange County Arts Commission grant will greatly assist Level Retreat in fulfilling their mission of becoming a destination for artists to live and work in North Carolina. Their planned facilities will greatly enhance the reputation of Chapel Hill as a haven for creative endeavors, bringing much needed workspaces as well as attracting outsiders to our area. Their immediate goal of assisting Nicholas Chatfield-Taylor in building a musical installation and sculpture would be a much welcomed event. Mr. Chatfield-Taylor's art brims with a devotion to communal celebrations, creating with his DIY igloos unique opportunities for art and sound lovers to gather and participate in a sublime, shared experience. As manager of School Kids Records, a music store on Franklin St. in Chapel Hill, I plan to assist Level Retreat in bringing their vision to fruition. This will include acting as liaison in considering the public space outside of School Kids as a potential location for their event, as well as assisting with local marketing and promotion. I fully support Level Retreat and Nicholas Chatfield-Taylor as recipients of the artist project grant. Thank you, Dan Hirsch (617)435 2566
