Using red clover,words are planted mulched areas such as: medians, under trees, along the sidewalk and streets, and in and around municipal parking lots and businesses that are willing participants. The words are derived from community input, cultural surroundings, and from spoken word poetry workshops held in the community. In the workshop, group and solo poetry pieces are created and the participants learn to perform their piece for a public audience. From each piece created, one specific word is chosen by each participant to be planted. The workshop participants and artist, Carter Hubbard, plant the words throughout the community. When the words are in full growth,the workshop participants perform their pieces around each word that they planted in a public event. The performances by the youth and adults will give the words another facet of exploration that will entertain, inspire, inform, and enliven the spaces where the words are planted in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. With the help of Stephanie Trueblood, Hillsborough's Public Space Manager, Floraffiti is planning to expand into Hillsborough in 2018 as a placemaking tool with hopes of "cross-pollinating", collaborating to support the upcoming Bee Hotel project. The Town of Hillsborough has received the "Bee City USA" designation to foster the health and growth of the bee population and to educate the public about the bees' greater purpose as a vital member of the ecosystem, integral to environmental well-being for all. Examples of possible words planted for this project, such as 'Pollinate', 'Bzzzz...', 'Grow', and visual images planted in the shape of flower, a bee, the honeycomb hexagon pattern and more will tie in with the Bee Hotel project in the Spring. In the years following 2018, Floraffiti will develop in ways to support the economic and cultural diversity in the community specific to Hillsborough's objectives, as noted below. There are many other words planted by the artist and Floragardeners throughout the community to fulfill the larger scale placemaking initiative. For the community at large, the words will be in both prominent areas, aimed at visitors' commonplaces, and as well is in surprising places, more obvious to the local community. The words' growth period, typically beginning in March, lasts for 4 months. As summer nears,the words will diminish and the remains will naturally disappear into the mulch/dirt. In 2017, Floraffiti saw its fifth year as a placemaking project in Chapel Hill and a year of firsts; Carrboro was included and the series of community spoken word poetry workshops were implemented throughout. The community workshops with teens and adults were followed up with a series of very successful performances throughout Chapel Hill and Carrboro during the 2nd Friday Art Walk in April. DocuSign Envelope ID:A0B1 EB25-DA83-4024-9927-D69B64746F70 It is the goal of Floraffiti 2018 to encompass more participants from broader parts of Orange County, in addition to the participant partner organizations of 2017, including Boomerang Youth, Inc, and The NC Art Therapy Institute. Additional partnerships are being created with the Chapel Hill Public Library, youth groups in local high schools, PTA Thrift Shop's YouthWorx, Transplanting Traditions, and Chapel Hill Seniors. Floraffiti as a placemaking tool took a minimum four years to catch the eye of the public. 2017 was the first year that Floraffiti, specifically as a placemaking project, was truly widely known. This type of community art project is new and growing to become a tool for personal and community growth. A deepened and broader impact is yet to be realized in regards to the community engagement piece and continuation of this project is warranted to fulfill its reach. In addition to expanding the scope of the project with more people, we are working on including Floraffiti as part of a world-wide event called Si Art D y,April 14th, 2018. It is a day designated to take the time to look at art as a group followed by a discussion of the work, perhaps around lunch. Floraffiti wants to partner with a local arts organization as a host for this event, taking people outside of the gallery and consider art as design in open spaces,temporary and permanent. Community Impact Employing nature as an art form more deeply roots the experiences of workshop participants in addition to sharing their personal stories with the larger community. It was discovered to be a bonding experience for those involved in 2017. Some teens found that they were leaders and others helped those with no experience in gardening. It was an exercise in working together through discussions as the participants planned and designed the words in the sites available, all empowering components of the project. Some of the participants planted words in Spanish, their native language, explaining to the audience the meaning of the word in the context of their spoken word piece performed. Floraffiti would like to continue to foster and engage the cultural diversity that truly represents the community at large. For the adult participants, it was the community reaction, inclusive of post event i remarks that were overheard that made a deep impression. It was the bold and brave stories told by the adults at the Art Therapy Institute that drew strong admiration from the crowd. Some of them were invited to share their stories for the teens at Boomerang. This art form can be used for positive change in communities to address issues socially, and culturally, reaching across lines of difference and expanding the message of tolerance of diversity,fostering and strengthening strong relationships. Sonia Frischemeier, the Director of Operations of Boomerang views this project as a well- rounded opportunity for the teens to develop their voice in public and participate in community service through the integration of engaging cultural arts. She finds this important to the fabric and vitality of the community. DocuSign Envelope ID:A0B1 EB25-DA83-4024-9927-D69B64746F70 Placemaking initiatives such as Floraffiti aid in creating a sustainable visitor destination, reflecting a town actively invested in the welfare of all ages of the community and in its natural environment. It reflects back to the community at large what is important to the community. It demonstrates how it values its cultural identity by cultivating a stimulating means of strategic economic development. This four month long project has the capacity to serve a large number of people that live and work in the three towns, inclusive of UNC students faculty, and staff, and those who are passing through the three towns using services, doing business, and seeking pleasure and entertainment that the area has to offer. The community impact is further described by the volume, scope, quality, and depth of press received in 2017 and in the conversations that Carter had during the planting process with the participants intermingling with the public. Carter alone talked to over 40 people while involved in the planting process receiving questions about the project and positive feedback from every one of these people. The following town objectives will be met to benefit the respective communities involved in Floraffiti: Chapel Hill • Integrate public art in to the fabric of the community, • Nurture creative thinking, • Use arts to address social issues, • Supporting arts and culture as a community health and economic development strategy, • Advance their cultural and creative identity in enhancing public spaces Carrboro -> • Enhancing livability through the arts, • Sustaining the robust local creative economy, • Expanding opportunities in and access to the arts for citizens and visitors, • Ensuring an accessible, open-source environment where arts and innovation continue to thrive. Hillsborough • Special character of Hillsborough- mporq-emv, 4,A5 • To enhance the support of economic and cultural diversity in the community. • Continue to support environmental and sustainability efforts on the community. • Support efforts to increase public outreach and awareness of natural and environmental resources. Artist Experience Carter Hubbard has successfully implemented this project, Floraffiti,for the past five years in the town of Chapel Hill expanding into Carrboro this past year, simultaneously serving as the event coordinator. Specific to Chapel Hill, she has designed, created, and implemented several other community interactive projects-'The Kitchen Window DocuSign Envelope ID:A0B1 EB25-DA83-4024-9927-D69B64746F70 Quilt', 2013 State Folk life Festival's exhibition, North Carolina Textiles: The Fabric of a State at the ArtsCenter and "Memory Bubbles', a visual scavenger hunt as part of Windows on Chapel Hill. She is experienced working with youth in the area as she was awarded the Chapel Hill Artist Residency working with art students at East Chapel Hill high school creating a permanent 3-D installation. She has worked with youth involved in the Durham Art Guild's Creative Mentorship Program that partners with 'Student U' and taught privately for over 20 years. For the 2016-17 school year, she was been awarded an artist in residence in 3 high schools in Cary. She worked with the art students facilitating their knowledge of the evolving face of Public Art creating large scaled installations encompassing several calls to action for positive change in.The work included non-arts students, faculty, and administration throughout the process, creating interdisciplinary opportunities for cooperative based learning and project implementation. Additionally, Floraffiti was implemented at Cary High School as a collaborative and interdisciplinary learning opportunity culminating in off campus performances during Cary's Spring Daze Arts Festival. Carter is an experienced curator having planned and executed her largest project to date, a 35-person exhibition in Raleigh, NC in a vacant manufacturing facility. It encompassed video, installation, 3-D sculpture, interactive installations, and 2-D media. And lastly, she has successfully created award winning large scaled installations in the Scrapel Hill Show at University Mall and commission for Duke University. In all of the above functions and through her administrative positions in several arts festivals in the Triangle and Portland, Carter has developed strong writing skills for grant, press release, and blog writing with a fluid knowledge of how and where to disseminate this information inclusive of all social media platforms. Strong are her abilities to organize and adapt with changes as they occur from any location, and her ability to communicate with youth and adults in all capacities relevant to this project.

Link Jr. Government Services Center 200 S. Cameron Street Hillsborough, NC 27278 Dear Ms. Murray, This letter is in support of artist Carter Hubbard's work and grant submission to Orange County Arts Commission. We have committed agency funds for 2018 to support Carter, as well as the use of the 60f brick planters that we manage and maintain fbrthmdownhzwn community, and our agency will be the fiscal agent for the expanding project. Our agency has been funding this project consecutively for the last four 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 social, cultural, and spiritual center of Chapel Hill through economic development. Our 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 arts Carter's Floraffiti project has steadily grown to be a cultural institution in our community. I marvel and how many people—from all over the community— know and love the'growing words'that she's created around town. This year—and in the coming year—she has added dynamic and engaging elements to the work. She's brought in youth and adults with cognitive disabilities to create works of poetry based on words. She's engaged the private sector in her work too. Floraffiti is exactly the kind of creative work that sets the tone for the engaging sense of place that we are fostering downtown. The words bring a smile to people's faces and an audible'WOW'. I love that people are engaging with her art; almost like they've been let in on a secret that they alone have discovered. We hope you are as excited about this grant proposal as we are and will support Carter and the Floraffiti project. Thank you, / � n / / ' »/ �^ I� Meg McGurk Executive Director Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership 308 West Rosemary Street,Suite 202 Chapel Hill, NC 27516 P:919-967-9440 F:919-967-9475 www.dmwntownohapn|hiU.onm DocuSign Envelope ID:A0B1 EB25-DA83-4024-9927-D69B64746F70 Katie Murray From: Scott Conary <coffeescott@gmail.com> Sent: Saturday, June 03, 2017 2:46 PM To: Katie Murray Subject: Support for Floraffiti AS Open Eye Cafe, and an individual, that not only took part in the program this year, but actually donated and supported thru infrastructure, I cannot say enough how beneficial and important this program is, and will continue to be, as it grows and expands its scope and impact. On so many levels this program mirrors our own desire to reach out to the entire community and find a way to connect with individuals and groups and promote awareness and mind-expansion. Eye-Opening, if you will. Beyond that you have the obvious positive visual impact and curiosity inducing aspects or the program that are an excellent door-opener to the greater depth inherent in the program. Should you go no further than the visual impact you still have a program that delights and creates a town beautifying project well worth the time, effort and expense! I realize the deadline for this was pushed up, so I am going to keep this brief, but I am available for any followup questions or comments that may be needed. In short, this is an important program for the towns and our communities and we will continue to support it regardless of what other funding may or may not occur. It is my hope that others see the benefits, both short and long term, that arise form it as well.
