The Cultural Arts Division of the Town of Chapel Hill's Parks and Recreation Department oversees numerous cultural arts events such as the Town's Percent for Art program; a sculpture loan program that places sculpture throughout the community; a yearly school residency project; teacher workshops, community-based projects with teens, seniors, and immigrant populations; and special large-scale collaborative programs like Festifall, Shimmer, a 4t'l of July event with music and fireworks, a series of twelve music, dance and other performances at the 140 West Plaza in addition to other non-art community events. Overall the Division's programs reach a diversity of people (about 70,000 people per year). The Division is advised by an II- member Cultural Arts Commission appointed by the Town Council. 2. Shimmer: the Art of light is a one-night outdoor event/exhibition/performance featuring installations, projections and interactive displays by artists utilizing light in its many creative forms. Collaboratively sponsored by the Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro along with other partners, the Shimmer installations are situated in a six-block radius where the two towns intersect. Shimmer debuted in February 2016 as an independent program curated by Sarah Wolfe/smARTS Creative Programs& Events and co-sponsored by the Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrbcro and others. It was a one-of-a-kind event in North Carolina and featured some 24 artworks located in the described area (roughly from the 300 East Main Street complex in Carrbcro to Graham Street in Chapel Hill - see attached map). On a February night some 2,00,0 people walked the footprint and hundreds more drove down the main streets slowly to view the art, The program was repeated in 2017 with the same result and the independent curator has now stepped away. The popularity of the event, offered at a time when very little is happening in the two downtowns, has prompted Chapel Hill and Carrboro to want to continue the success by offering Shimmer in February of 2018 while making changes to boost the quality of the art, expand the footprint to include art in more retail-defined areas of the two towns, create more entertainment/performances within the event footprint, and perhaps find a way to extend some of the displays beyond the single evening format (see project activities below). 3, The goals for Shimmer are: a. To create and maintain a highly imaginative, good quality, and irnpactful event that is unique to both Chapel Hill and Carrboro that attracts people to the two downtowns. Currently the closest similar event takes place in Richmond, VA. b. To deepen the 2" Friday Artwalk brand that already exists by fostering a greater sense of community and economic partnership (Shimmer takes place the 2nct Friday in February). c. To create a program that two contiguous towns can simultaneously support while further promoting the porous border between the two despite jurisdictional boundaries. DocuSign Envelope ID:9CBAA6B1-266B-4426-BDCC-20AAE9B937EF d. To positively impact the economies of both towns. 4. Because of the uniqueness of the event, Shimmer attracts large crowds despite the cold temperature. The time of the event 6-10 p.m. allows for a variety of audiences to enjoy the displays. Early visitors are families with many children. In the past, displays like the giant Lite e rite or the bicycle-powered shadow projection piece (see submitted io ages) allowed children, to both play, enjoy and learn. As the evening progresses more adults are seen walking the event site. A large student population also participates, perhaps on the way to or from another activity, The ,audience is as diverse as the populations of Chapel Hill and Carrboro, Some 2,000 site maps are distributed throughout the course of the evening, though often groups of two or more request one map. As the event site includes numerous artwork on the towns' main, vehicular arteries and in drive-through lots (300 East Main Street complex), hundreds more view the artworks from the comfort of their cars. 5. The project location is described above in the project narrative. 6. Shimmer 2018 will be jointly organized by a committee consisting of cultural arts representatives from Chapel Hill and Carrboro Parks and Recreation, CH Cultural Arts Commission, Carrboro Tourism, CH Downtown Partnership, Chapel Hill Orange County Visitor's Bureau, merchants within the event footprint, and community cultural partners (ArtsCenter„ Marian Cheek Jackson Center, etc.). Although a similar Shimmer format will be employed,the committee will be tasked with re-imagining Shimmer 2018 with the above goals in mind. Project activities begin with a call to artists being distributed broadly throughout the Triangle, region and beyond. The request for proposals will include a new category option that will help the jurors better identify medium being proposed (Le, video, installation, interactive, computer, sound, performance), and will promote proposals with interactive components. A larger artist honorarium (from $300 to $500) and a track record for a well-organized event should attract a good quality field of artists from whom to select. Fewer artist (15-20) will be selected for 2018, making for a more concentrated event. We will also look to shift the venues to more retail- oriented parts of the towns to also boost spectator visitation to shops and restaurants within the footprint. We will also arrange for light-oriented performances, some moving throughout the event, The Bouncing Bull Dogs with colorful LED jump ropes is one idea being pursued. The artists will be selected by a group of qualified jurors. Past jurors have include the curator of CAM in Raleigh, the Director of Visual Arts Space in Raleigh, the former Vice President of Public Art for the Charlotte Arts& Sciences Council, Director of the ArtsCenter, and owner of the Light Art & Design Gallery in Chapel Hill. Juror identification has not yet occurred, but will follow a similar pattern of regional art experts selecting artists from an image bank and proposal narratives. The selected artists spend the day setting up and the event officially begins at 6, o.m„ There is no set route. A map/guide is provided to visitors at all the venues to help find the light work on display on E. Main 5t. in Carrboro and Franklin St, and some side streets in Chapel Hill. The DocuSign Envelope ID:9CBAA6B1-266B-4426-BDCC-20AAE9B937EF audience is free to travel the sites. Artists are at the sites to assist visitors in interacting with and/or understanding their artwork, With many shops and restaurants within the foot print, merchants stay open to welcome visitors. Anecdotally, when a light display was in the parking area at Arsl:orger Shack, the restaurant had a line out the door for several hours during Shimmer. 7, The artists that will participate in Shimmer 2018 have not yet been selected. Shimmer 2017 featured artists from Orange, Durham, Wake counties, other parts of INC and five other states. Of the 23 exhibiting artists (the artwork at 140 West is permanent), over half were art and media professors from local, regional and U.S colleges and universities including UNC- Chapel Hill, Uir IC -Greensboro, UNC-Pernbroke, Duke, 'Winston-Salem State, NC State, University of Alabama at Birmingham, College of Richmond, VA, University of Arizona and others. Ethnic backgrounds of the artists varied as much of the artwork itself. Of the exhibiting artists two were African American,three were Asian and one was Latino. Comments for the 2,017 artists indicated that they were pleased with the event and may participate again or promote the event to their colleagues. A concerted effort will be made to guarantee a greater consistency of quality, both in the jury selection and pre-screening of proposals by the committee before a final selection is made. 8. Marketing will be through on-line, print and social media efforts. Shimmer promotion starts with a media kit that c insists of a press release, Shimmer logo, testimonials, photos, contacts for interviews, talking points,web-links and sponsor names and logos. Interviews are arranged with WCHL, VVCOM, Daily Tarheel, Chapel Hill News and other interested media outlets, e.g. Chapel Hill Magazine, The Independent, Chapelboro,corn, etc. A videbsite has been created with event information, exhibiting artists images and bios that will be updated as the 2018 artists are identified. The vvebsite is shared with all media outlets and is also linked to the exhibiting artists' websites and vice versa. Social media, such as Facebook, lnstagram and Snapchat, is also utilized. These posts and images get reposted and the word is spread. Venue participants receive a map/guide in advance of the event that they can pass out to customers, or in the case of churches and non-csimmercial organizations that serve as venues, their members. Part of the Chamber of Commerce's in-kind sponsorship includes sending information out to their membership also to be reposted. The organizing committee will create a marketing plan with the help of Chapel Hill Parks & Recreation i liarketing and Sponsorship Coordinator, This has not occurred in the past and will guarantee a workable strategy to maximize publicity and reach, 9. The project will be evaluated based on the stated goals. To this end, in addition to keeping track of audience attendance at the event, 200 random sample surveys will be conducted on- sitei to determine event satisfaction and economic impact. Participating venues will also complete a similar economic impact survey. A post-event on-line survey will be conducted with the participating artists. Internally, the committee will evaluate the event based on the goals and staff will conduct a post-event analysis of the logistics and planning processes.

While there is slight income from our Ceramic Classes and event vendor fees, these income amounts are not reflected in the yearly departmental budget, rather are absorbed within the overall Town budgeted income. VVhille that income may be reflected in the yearly departmental allocation (this is especially true for ceramic instructor and supply expenses), it doesn't show up as separate income In the division or departmental budget. Yearly allocation are primarily biased on the previous year's budget and adjusted for increases in salaries, benefits, insurance, etc. Year-end surpluses are mainly due to lapsed position salaries/benefits or one time programmatic increases due to grants, Public & Cultural Arts merged with Events in 2012 to create the Cultural Arts Division. Some program costs and staff costs associated with those programs may not specifically he art related, but aspects of all the divisions programs have cultural arts components, GENERAL FUND FISCAL YFAR 2016-17 IFYI7) BUDGET REQUEST civ- PLblk A D=ate- 02/25/l 6 QRG: 10515 2015-16 2015-16 201s-16 Change FY 2012-13 FY 2013-14 FY 2014-1� ORIGINAL REVISED ACI UAL TO 2015-1c 2016-1 7 Fr um Original ACTUAL ACTUAL ACTUAL BUDGET BUDGET -Dec-15 Est-Imated Requested Bud.r-et= 50100 SALARIES FULL-TINIF 194,2150 192,979 223,li 25 199,231 154,6a) 95,605 154,600 20A,498- 4.7%' "It 1,440 1,440 50121D DTHFR PAY 1,280 1,440 - 1,44-0 880 "-,1,440�' 33 IJ 50300 54LARIES-0VE9TI-VE - 543 2-Z 5 - - 943 943 N/Al 504ffl SALARIE,='S-TE NVOIRARY 66,510 72,707 73,433 11,313 79,5. 5,373 76,2,sol yswi S94-4�Lc E D 50505 FICAN 19,-19S 19,3S7 21,755 21,2.51 17,8337 9,794 4T' S,337 �-1,559 5110600 RETIRENIFNIT 22,906 23,335 26,999 23,250 18.042 1,47 11 475 5,---,41 9-9y.1 SUGaO fjRC)UFl INSURANCE 34,237 36,491 43,450 50,890 -5,901 17338 il;� 42,295 6,7%! 50700 WORKERS CCMFIENISATION INSURANCE 5,997 4,915 4J73 4,383 4,333 3,527 3,527 3,550 19-05i I CIF 10516- N/A 503-00 SALAD ES VFRTIIVF 315 1,27-11 267 - NIIA 50400 SAL4RFES-TEMPORARY -)is - - 1,940 N/A 50505 FICA 40 89 17 NIA SD60=0 RETIREMENT 54 150 33 N/A 51650 GROUP 114SURANCE -2 135 68 1111A LL w N/A 0)cl) N/A co- 0) TOTAL PERSONNf L 344,947 453,110":1 -395,485 311,758 313,598 175,935 283,410 ag-1,41F 22.7% w cc:40515- co 63000, PROFESSIONAL SERVICES 49,895 41,722 40,097 46,25G 47,3-50 15,725 60100 BUSINESS MEETINGS&TRAINING 3,859 2,993 4,9213 4,551 4.,551 2,85b: 2-6% 'C-04 6,3130 DUES&SUE BSCR IPTIONS 1,871 2,164 2,463 2-,575 2,465 1,419 U-30, -36,7% '7 L5(-Y-100 TELEPHONE 5 - 150 1=50 - '600 GO-21-15 CELLULAR PHONES - - 1,776 436 1,100 NIA 04 501220 POSTAfiE 67 21 94 - is 1: NIA b0-,30 PRINTING 1,415 877 1,106 909 900 1,343 0.0% 50-240 ADVERTISING - - 99 - - - NF/A C) 0) MARK FTING&PROMOTION 10,184 12,342 3,5043 3,500 1:207 i fiO3-70 %A& R EQUIP N11 E NT 9112 3,253 939 800 800 120 26 600 -25-0%1 SPACE RENTAL A� o Soo 20-D o 6,3420 EQUIPMENT RENTAL 2,379 N/A iw G04210 S003-2 EQUIP MEN TRENT AL 700 1,375 1,S,-j 0 1,650 1,650 243 '1,593 1 650 P in 0 0 6ENERAL FUND FISCA L YEAR,2016-17(FY17) BU DGET REQUEST Div.

While Wolfe's love of art and event planning drove her to organize Shimmer, her real goal lies in fostering connections. "I see so much potential for this area," she says. "I want to bring everyone together and instigate more collaboration. She also lopes the event will have a positive economic impact, as several installations will be in or near local businesses.

Wolfe hopes these fun, playful pieces will inspire viewers not only to appreciate the works but, sometimes, to interact with them, as in a life-size interactive kaleidoscope. "Many of the pieces will be interactive," Wolfe says. "People are often intimisated by the idea of getting involved. I want to break down those walls and let people feel good and learn about themselves by experiencing the art" Wolfe hopes to make Shimmer, which has a bevy of public and private sponsors, an annual event.

Cameron Street Hillsborough, NC 27278 Dear Ms, Murray, This letter is in support of SHIMMER: The Art of Light, a dynamic, multi media art event in downtown Chapel Hill and Carrboro, We have committed agency funds for 2018 to support SHIMMER and our agency will be the fiscal agent for the project. Cur agency has been funding this project consecutively for the last two years. The Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership (CHDP) is a nonprofit agency that brings together the resources of the Town, University and downtown community to maintain, enhance and promote downtown as the 50cial„ cuiltural„ and spiritual center of Chapel Hill through economic development. Cur Plan of Work 2016-2018 leads with an objective of being downtown's managing entity and economic development leader by specifically pursuing arts endeavors. Whether it is music, food &drink, visual art, or performances - there is no doubt that art.) are an econorric engine for our downtown and campus. SHIMMER is the only arts event(other than monthly 211.' Friday ArLNalks) that brings together arts organizations and businesses in both downtowns; something that I feel is important for the economic health of our community. SHIMMER brings artists from around the southeast, providing an opportunity for our community to engage with a medium of a i not done anywhere else in North Carolina, SHIMMER is exactly the kind of creative work that sets the tone for the engaging sense of place that we are fostering downtown We can consistently tell people that Chapel Hill and Carrboro are dynamic arts destinations; SHIMMER shows that it truly is! We hope you are as excited about this grant proposal as we are and will support SHIMMER.
