The Eno Arts Mill offers a 1,000sf classroom for the visual, performing, and literary arts. The goal of the Orange County Arts Commission (OCAC) is to offer classes featuring teaching artists who posses strong technical and interpersonal skills, and an ability to teach conceptual information. We encourage classes for all levels of students. 

PAYMENT STRUCTURE & SUPPLIES

• Teaching Artists (classes):
  • Eno Mill Studio Tenants – 70/30 split of registration fees (artist keeps 70%)
  • Non-tenants – 60/40 split of registration fees (artist keeps 60%)
  • Supplies are either provided by the students or the teacher (with cost being included in class price)
• Teaching Artists (camps and afterschool):
  • $35 per hour
  • Supplies are purchased by the OCAC and included in the cost of the camp

USE FEES

Organizations are invited to use our classroom for classes and gatherings. 

• For-profit Organizations: $75 per hour flat fee
• Nonprofit Organizations: $45 per hour flat fee

Class registrations and billing will be managed through the arts commission. Instructors will be paid within 30 days following the conclusion of the class.

The OCAC hopes to make classes as financially accessible as possible for participants, while taking into consideration the instructor’s time and supplies. Pricing is primarily up to the instructor with input from the OCAC if needed. Scholarship assistance is available for students. 

COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS
Masks are required by all visitors to the Eno Arts Mill at all times. Food and drink are currently not allowed indoors due to our mask mandate. The classroom has a set of double doors that can be opened during nice weather for air-flow. We also have a HEPA “Large Room” air purifier to use during all classes. Tables and supplies are sanitized between classes. The current maximum capacity in the space is 21 people, including the instructor.
