Organization Description The Hillsborough Arts Council is a 501 [c]3 non - profit organization whose primary role is organizing
and promoting arts and cultural events for the enjoyment and education of Orange County residents
and visitors. Its mission is, "Enriching our community through the arts." Since 1987, HAC has been
serving the community through a range of programs and events that employ local creative talent,
strengthen citizen engagement and enhance the economic vibrancy of Orange County. It serves
thousands of citizens from all walks of life every year.
HAC is guided by a 12- member Board of Directors. Board members oversee the management and
operation of over 10 annual programs. HAC also employs 2 part -time employees that perform day -to-
day operations: a bookkeeper and a program coordinator. Programs are funded through
partnerships and donations, and by grants from such entities as the NC Arts Council per the OCAC,
and the Hillsborough Tourism Board.
Free Spirit Freedom is a cultural arts initiative within HAC that emerged in 2010 to acknowledge,
preserve and celebrate the diverse heritage of Orange County. Co- founders Thomas Watson and
Renee Price volunteer their time and services in cooperation with local residents, artists and cultural
enthusiasts. We combine photography, storytelling, literature and other art forms to highlight the
people, places and events of yesteryear and today, primarily through the lens of African -
Americans... with a view to a better tomorrow.
FSF projects and events are supported by grants and donations, thus allowing FSF to offer most
events free of charge to the broader community, particularly to attract and serve historically
marginalized and low- wealth residents and visitors.

Project/Program Summary Free Spirit Freedom [FSF] proposes to coordinate and host a music festival featuring the spirituals
and gospel songs that evolved in the historic and on -going struggle for freedom, civil rights and
justice. We are requesting $2,100 from the NC Grassroots Arts Program to help compensate
musicians and backup singers, and help promote and produce the 2019 Annual Gospel Music
Festival, to be held on the third Sunday afternoon in May. Our preferred location is the David E. Price
Farmers Market Pavilion in Hillsborough, or the Old Courthouse Lawn, depending on availability.
Our first such program occurred in May 2018, in conjunction with the Central /Orange High Reunion,
and 50th Anniversary of the end of segregation in Orange County schools.
To execute the project, FSF will invite local singing groups and individual vocalists to showcase their
Music is a universal language, and the proposed gospel music festival will perpetuate the purpose of
FSF. Music is a creative expression of who we are, what we see, where we have been, how we got
here, and why we proceed onward. The project will provide a forum to share traditions, relate
experiences, connect people to one another and continue to build community.
Following the tradition brought from Africa, many Negro spirituals and gospels were composed and
sung based on the call- and - response patterns. We hope that the various segments of the audience
will join together with the performers to share in the singing experience and the experience of one
another. The ultimate goal is to build more bridges among members of our multi- faceted and multi-
cultural community, and to have a good time doing so.
Audience Description Free Spirit Freedom anticipates an audience that is reflective of our community -- diverse in age and
gender, and inclusive in ethnicity and culture. Ethnically, we estimate that perhaps 50% of the
audience will be African - American, 30% European- American, 10% American Indian, 5% Latinx, 2%
Asian and 3% Other.
We hope to have attendance of 500 to 700 people over the course of the afternoon. The event will be
publicized as at least 3 hours in length, and we expect that people will come and go as their
schedules permit -- similar to Last Fridays. This will be a leisurely event for the entire family.
All of our past events have had multicultural participation and audience, and we believe we will
maintain that track record. The genre, gospel, has a uniqueness within the African - American
community as well as within other cultures, and the festival therefore is intended to attract a broad
spectrum of people.
FSF expects our audience to be comprised of Orange County residents as well as visitors and
tourists from other parts of the Triangle, state and country.
creative talents while illuminating the music of our struggles and hopes. We will invite six singing
groups and individual vocalists, and we will compensate these performers and their accompanying
musicians and /or backup singers.
African - Americans have a heritage of musical traditions rooted in the cultures of their ancestors. Our
ancestors came to a new world with songs and rhythms, and relied on these art forms to withstand
the suffering, and to hope and survive. Old Negro Spirituals and gospel songs were integral to the
freedom struggle and civil rights movement. Today, music continues to be at the core of social
justice movements; the proposed festival will acknowledge and perpetuate this wonderful legacy.

Project Goals
The ultimate goal or vision of Free Spirit Freedom is to continue building bridges of cross - cultural
understanding. FSF seeks to: honor the legacy of people of color, celebrate our diverse heritage,
and advance the cultures of all people. We do so through photography, storytelling and community
events.
Music is a universal language, and the proposed gospel music festival will perpetuate the purpose of
FSF. Music is a creative expression of who we are, what we see, where we have been, how we got
here, and why we proceed onward. The project will provide a forum to share traditions, relate
experiences, connect people to one another and continue to build community.

Location Description Our plan is to hold the Gospel Festival at the David E. Price Farmers' Market Pavilion, or at the Old
Courthouse Lawn, depending on availability. Both venues are located in downtown Hillsborough. In
case of rain, we will request use of the Passmore Center also in Hillsborough.
This will be an outdoor event where families and friends can relax and enjoy the music and the
amenities of the town. In case of inclement weather, we will use the Passmore Center in Hillsborough.
The performances will be under the pavilion, and seating will be both under and outside the pavilion
shelter. If we use the Courthouse Lawn, performers will be at the front of the building and the
audience will be in front of and at the sides of the "stage" under the tree canopy. Minimal seating is
available with the site, so we will rent chairs and suggest that people bring their own camping or
folding chairs and blankets.
Parking is free at and around the Pavilion. We will reserve spaces close to the pavilion for people
with physical challenges or disabilities. Public restrooms are a part of the facility, adjacent to the
pavilion. Water fountains also are at the site. Free parking also is available for the Old Courthouse.
Artist Description All performing artists will be singers, choirs and musicians from the Orange County or Triangle Area,
as Free Spirit Freedom continues to shine a light on local talent and unsung heroes. Thomas Watson
and Renee Price have identified a potential line -up of performers and will vet other individuals and
groups based on experience, track record for attracting crowds, and popularity of their musical
offerings.
Regina Gale Dozier retired from a career in marketing and sales, and now is pursuing her dream in
the performing and literary arts. She sings at local venues and special events, writes poetry and has
composed original music. Her repertoire is broad, from gospel to jazz, and she has performed at the
Beyu in Durham and a New Year's Eve program at the United Church of Chapel Hill in Chapel Hill.
Jennifer Baker, who works in the Orange County Health Department, has a soulful voice and a
passion for music and expressing herself through song. She sings in church and for special
occasions throughout the area, and is building her singing and performing.
The MILK Youth Choir led by Wanda Crisp has become a featured attraction for the Annual MILK Day
Banquet in Northern Orange in January. While the choir typically comes together for the one annual
event, efforts now are underway to keep the group together throughout the year, and will perform for
the Gospel Music Festival in May 2019. Crisp is known for her melodious voice, and gave a solo a
cappella performance for a past FSF event.
Freddie L. Parker and Jacqueline Thomas are homegrown members of the Orange County
community who enjoy singing individually, and have found that their voices harmonize beautifully
together. They sang as a duo for the 2018 Gospel Concert. Parker is a retired professor of history,
and Thomas works at UNC -CH.
The Hillside High School Alumni Choir, founded in 2014, is based in Durham and has 53 members.
Most members are busy musicians on their own. The choir often performs at churches and other
locations throughout Durham and the surrounding region. Ten members of the Choir participated in
the Gospel Concert commemorating 50 years since ending segregated schools in Orange County
Schools, hosted by FSF and the Central /Orange Alumni Association.
Wilton DuBois, a long -time resident of Orange County originally from Trinidad, is an accomplished
professional musician on the steel drums. While his specialty is jazz, he plays classical, blues,
standards and more, tailored to fit the occasion. DuBois performs solo or with a band. His
organization is Resounding Steel.
FSF also hopes to include a choir from one of the predominantly white or European- American
churches in Hillsborough, as we are serious about inclusiveness.
Finally, FSF realizes that the proposed line -up for this event may change because of currently
unknown events that will occur next year. That said, we do know other gospel groups, such as the
Kings of Harmony of Orange County, whom we can invite to join us.

participants?
FSF will advertise or announce the music festival using email blasts, print media, websites, online
portals, Facebook, radio, personalized letters of invitation and word of mouth to publicize the event.
In addition, we will ask our partners and participants in the festival to do likewise, and will urge
organizations with chapters outside Orange County to assist by pushing our announcements and
promotional materials to their members.
Included in the publicity outlets will be: The News of Orange County, Herald Sun, Indy Weekly, WCHL
97.9, WHUP, WCOM, Hillsborough Arts Council social media, Free Spirit Freedom website to be
updated and forthcoming Facebook page, Orange County Community Relations, Orange County Arts
Council, Hillsborough /Orange County Chamber of Commerce, Chapel Hill Visitors Bureau, Alliance for
Historic Hillsborough, and more. We will send invitations and flyers to area churches and faith
assemblies, community centers, sororities, fraternities and other social organizations.
Furthermore, since FSF is focused on building relationships and promoting the arts in Orange
County, we will ask local businesses and shops to join us in promoting the festival by placing our
posters in their windows, posting our flyers on their facebook pages or websites and the like. Ideally,
our festival will encourage exploring and spending in Orange County.
How will you evaluate the Free Spirit Freedom will evaluate and determine the success of the gospel music festival by rating
success of the program? our ability to achieve the following, on a scale or 1 to 5:
1] dissemination of promotional materials and publicity broadly and in a timely manner;
2] good quality and inclusive line -up of musicians, vocalists and singing groups;
3] extent to which the line -up of musical performances reflects the experiences of the Black African
diaspora, as well as the quest for freedom in general;
4] a multicultural, multigenerational audience of at least 500 Orange County residents and visitors;
and
5] positive feedback -- including donations and offers to sponsor or otherwise assist in advancing our
program - -as well as expressions of appreciation from performers and the audience regarding the
impact of the concert on community relations.
To complement our own analysis, we will try to use technology to do surveys in real time by setting
up an account for texting responses to questions similar to those above. During intermission and at
the end of the program, we would request members of the audience who have smart phones to
participate in a brief ranking survey.
