WHEREAS, the County established the Arts Commission as a countywide arts agency that ensures the growth of local arts experiences by providing funding and support for diverse high quality programs and projects; and, WHEREAS, the Arts Commission administers the Restart the Arts Grant Program to provide economic relief to Orange County arts organizations impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic; and, WHEREAS, the Restart the Arts Grants Program is supported by Arts Commission with American Rescue Plan Act funds; and, WHEREAS, the COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted the arts and entertainment industry, stopping nearly all direct spending by nonprofit arts organizations and their patrons in our local economy, a loss estimated to be more than $130M; and WHEREAS, the Orange County Arts Commission and Orange County Board of Commissioners wish address both economic and societal challenges faced by our community in the wake of the current, prolonged shutdown of the arts industry; and, WHEREAS, the American Rescue Plan Act provides that funds may be used to respond to the public health emergency or its negative economic impacts, including assistance to households, small businesses, and nonprofits, or aid to impacted industries such as tourism, travel, and hospitality; and, WHEREAS, the Restart the Arts Grant Program aligns with the funding priorities identified in the American Rescue Plan (ARP), including:  Assist Orange County households by putting our artists back to work. There are approximately 4,000 creative workers in Orange County. This program will support employment of our creative workforce throu gh nonprofit support and expanded programs.  Help our small businesses by restoring arts audiences. Arts patrons spend $36.7M each year in our small businesses when attending arts events, ten DocuSign Envelope ID: C76FE3AA-6B83-4813-90F1-C0DF2DD97E47 September 2021 v0.1 times more than sports patrons. Nonprofit support will restore and increase these audiences.  Help our arts and cultural nonprofit organizations through funding. There are approximately 170 arts and cultural organizations in Orange County whose services range from arts education to art therapy to preservation of cultural landmarks.  Aid impacted industries such as tourism, travel and hospitality. Prior to the pandemic, an estimated 1.9M people attended nonprofit arts events in Orange County annually, with 54% of attendees being non-Orange County residents. Restart the Arts will restore and grow these audiences through the creation of new programs and events; and, WHEREAS, the Grant Recipient was selected by the Arts Commission to receive the Restart the Arts Grant through the procedures duly adopted by the Arts Commission; and, WHEREAS, both parties wish to promote and maintain the integrity and clarity of the Grant Recipient's ideas and statements and delineate the Grant Recipient’s obligations to the County.

Our inv itation to you is to “look close, think far.” Provide a brief description of your pre-pandemic core arts-related programming or offerings. Since 1958, the Ackland has been one of North Carolina’s most important cultural resources, serv ing 60,000 people annually. The Museum’s permanent collection consists of 19,000 works, featuring the state’s premier collections of Asian art and works of art on paper, and significant collections of European masterworks, twentieth- century and contemporary art. In addition to permanent collection galleries, the Ackland organizes four major special exhibitions a year, and works to acquire, research, publish and preserv e works of art in their care. Spanning all cultures and times, the Museum’s collection and exhibitions work to showcase the breadth and depth of human creativ ity. DocuSign Envelope ID: C76FE3AA-6B83-4813-90F1-C0DF2DD97E47 The Ackland is a v ital teaching resource serv ing univ ersity, K-12, and community audiences though a wide range of educational and public programs. Using the collection and object-based learning, Museum staff encourage activ e participation and close looking. The combination of a v ersatile collection, accessible interpretation materials, and a v ariety of programs allow the Museum to offer engaging experiences for all v isitors. As an integral part of academics and life at UNC-Chapel Hill and other area colleges and univ ersities, the Museum is a dynamic extension of the twenty-first century classroom, serv ing thousands of students in hundreds of classes and dozens of academic disciplines each year. The Ackland is also a place for univ ersity students and faculty to explore art-related programs and professions outside the classroom. K-12 classes from Chapel Hill and across the region come to the Ackland for liv ely learning experiences with original works of art, stimulating new ways of thinking for teachers and students alike, in addition to making meaningful connections with the school curriculum. Museum staff also offers professional dev elopment programs for teachers, collaborating with indiv idual schools, school districts, campus partners, and national education associations. The Ackland’s K-12 programs are free, and schools may also apply for up to $200 from the Museum to reimburse bus and substitute teacher expenses. The Ackland’s regular slate of public programs is designed to offer multiple points of access to learning about and enjoying art for all audiences, including talks and tours; art making, family, and wellness programs; film screenings; and music, dance, and theatrical performances. The Museum also offers specially designed tours for community groups of all ages, from Scout troops and summer camps, to work teams from area businesses, to retirement communities, lifelong learning groups, and adult day centers for people with dementia. Drop-in tours are also offered on an ongoing basis. In a typical year, the Ackland’s public programs engage ov er 6,000 community members in roughly 200 dynamic, art-focused experiences and more than 200 tours. As a public institution with no admission and free educational tours and public programs, the Ackland serv es all ages, ethnicities, and socio-economic groups—free of any barriers. North Carolina residents, including 2 million people liv ing in the Triangle, 30,000 UNC students and 4,000 faculty, 4,000 K-12 students and teachers, and more than 2.5 million v isitors to Chapel Hill annually all benefit from the Museum’s resources. Please explain the impact of your organization on the Orange County community in a The Ackland is a dynamic center of cultural activ ity for the Orange County Community that enhances and improv es liv es of residents.

All DocuSign Envelope ID: C76FE3AA-6B83-4813-90F1-C0DF2DD97E47 typical year.Orange County residents can benefit from the Museum’s resources. Prov iding intellectually engaging content and wellness programs for audience members of all ages and abilities, the Ackland offers lifelong learning opportunities and contributes to the ov erall health and well-being of our residents. As stated abov e, the Museum offers ov er 200 public programs and more than 200 tours annually in a typical year. At the Ackland, we believ e that art helps us understand the world around us. Children who hav e impactful experiences with art are better equipped to communicate with others and contribute to their communities. The Museum’s education and interpretation staff designs programming to prov ide rich content and interactiv e experiences. Programs for children include art-making activ ities and collaborativ e social experiences, each one designed to engage v aried interests, different dev elopmental needs, and all learning styles. Public programs are a critical component of our plan to enhance the quality of life for the entire local community. The guiding principles of our work are to: encourage people to look closely and carefully at works of art; support material literacy and understanding of artists’ processes; inv ite multiple perspectiv es on the meanings of works of art; and create opportunities for v isitors to respond to works of art in v aried ways – critically, creativ ely, v erbally, v isually, and more. To demonstrate the Museum’s commitment to being accessible to all, the Ackland permanently established ART& in September 2018. A dedicated museum space for campus and community to connect with each other and to create and experience art, ART& hosts artist talks, performances, art-making classes, and much more. In addition to serv ing as a v ibrant gathering and program space, ART& also features a rotating roster of site-specific commissions by contemporary artists. Additionally, the Ackland’s annual exhibitions of work made by graduating Master of Fine Arts students from UNC-Chapel Hill are curated by local poets, v isual artists, critics, and arts administrators. The intentional selection of locally based curators demonstrates for the artists and museum v isitors alike the v iability of a successful arts career in Orange County. In a typical year, the Ackland also collaborates with other local organizations in Orange County, including the Varsity Theater, Chapel Hill Public Library, Chapel Hill/Carrboro and Orange County Schools, Charles House, and the Orange County Department on Aging, to name a few. The Ackland also has a Local Adv isory Board with 37 members who are residents of the Triangle, many from Orange County. This board helps Museum leadership expand and solidify the Ackland’s dedication to the local community by deepening our network of DocuSign Envelope ID: C76FE3AA-6B83-4813-90F1-C0DF2DD97E47 adv ocates and supporters in Chapel Hill and the broader area and creating a forum for interesting and v ibrant discussion about the arts, the community and the Ackland’s role in both. Please explain your intended use of a Restart the Arts Grant, if awarded. The Ackland would use a Restart the Arts Grant from the Orange County Arts Commission to support the salary and benefits of the Museum’s Head of Public Programs, Dr. Allison Portnow Lathrop. Dr. Lathrop has designed, managed, and implemented the Ackland’s div erse set of public programs for the past twelv e years. She has experience collaborating with partner organizations from the community and UNC campus and working with them to identify new audiences and plan for sustainable audience growth. She has a background in teaching and program planning for young audiences, college students, and adults and holds degrees from UNC-Chapel Hill (MA/PhD in Musicology) and McGill Univ ersity (BA in Music). Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, Dr. Lathrop began finding ways for the Ackland to continue acting as a connection between people and art despite a shutdown of the physical building. Short-term, offering v irtual programs allowed the Ackland to continue to engage audience while doors were closed, but long-term, ev en now that the Museum has reopened, we hav e found that this platform has remained (and will continue to be) important. Virtual programs can be taken adv antage of by v isitors who might not otherwise be able to come to the Museum for programs (don’t driv e at night, challenged immune systems, work and/or childcare during open hours, etc.), prov ing to be necessary to serv e the needs of our audience going forward. Dr. Lathrop and her staff will continue to explore ways to be as accessible and inclusiv e as possible, to connect with potential on- site v isitors who aren’t yet in the habit of v isiting, and design programs that function as both stand-alone experiences and as experiences that complement an in-person v isit. Dr. Lathrop’s position at the Ackland is partially state-funded. W ith our state budget cut 7% last year and 7% this year due to Univ ersity deficits caused by the pandemic, the Museum would apply a Restart the Arts grant from the Orange County Arts Commission to the cost of Dr. Lathrop’s salary and benefits in FY22, helping to ensure her position’s stability and enabling the Ackland to continue to bring v alued art programming to indiv iduals and families in our state and beyond. Dr. Lathrop’s annual salary is $64,500; total costs of the position after benefits and taxes is expected to be $87,710. A Restart the Arts grant would help reliev e some of the Ackland’s ov erhead and support general operating costs associated with our public programs, for which the principal expense is staff time. DocuSign Envelope ID: C76FE3AA-6B83-4813-90F1-C0DF2DD97E47 Please explain measures taken by your organization to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The Ackland Art Museum is committed to fulfilling our mission in a manner that makes the safety and well-being of Museum v isitors, v olunteers, and staff our highest priority. In dev eloping appropriate protocols and procedures, we hav e followed the recommended guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prev ention (CDC), the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Serv ices, and the Univ ersity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In accordance with state and Univ ersity guidelines, the Ackland closed its doors until further notice on March 18, 2020, and all staff transitioned to working remotely. In January 2021, the Ackland reopened at limited capacity and hours, and returned to normal hours and capacity in June 2021. As part of the Univ ersity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, we require all staff and v isitors to wear masks while v isiting the Museum. Other measures taken to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 include: prescreening the health of all employees, requiring them to stay home if they feel sick, and asking our v isitors to do the same; hand sanitizer stations are located throughout the Museum, and we encourage v isitors and staff to use them and to wash hands often; the Ackland has enhanced our cleaning procedures and frequently disinfect regularly touched surfaces, with cleaning happening continuously throughout the day; and Plexiglass shields hav e been installed in the lobby check-in desk and Museum Store. Other changes that made include: the Museum Store is open but with limited capacity; gallery stools are cleaned by staff after each use; v isitors are encouraged to access our About the Art guides and gallery maps digitally with QR codes located throughout the Museum if possible but disposable guides and maps are av ailable in the lobby. Public tours, on-site programs, and other in-person ev ents are currently offered on a limited basis. W e will continue to offer high- quality online programming for all on our website so that at-home v isitors can remain connected with the Ackland while our pandemic protocols are in effect.
