Teaching at the Mill

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. 

FEES/PAYMENT STRUCTURE

• Teaching Artists:
  • Eno Mill Studio Tenants – $35 per hour flat fee
  • Non-tenants – 60/40 split of registration fees (artist keeps 60%)
• For-profit Organizations: $75 per hour flat fee
• Nonprofit Organizations: email kmurray@orangecountync.gov for pricing

Class registrations and billing will be managed through the arts commission. For classes requiring a 60/40 split of registration fees, 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. 

AMENITIES

• The classroom is equipped with supplies such as easels, cleaning supplies, and some basic art supplies. Any specialized supplies need to be provided by the instructor (price can include cost of materials) or provided in a separate supply list for students to purchase.
• The Eno Arts Mill is ADA accessible. Several handicapped accessible parking spaces are located outside our space and the classroom features exterior facing double doors making wheelchair entry easy.
• Ample parking is available just in front of the Eno Arts Mill space.
• Restrooms are located within the mill, just outside of the classroom. An ADA accessible restroom is available.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• Teachers are required to follow the Rules of Use of the space which will be provided upon check-in; failure to adhere to the Rules of Use may result in additional cleaning fees and the inability to use the space in the future.

• The OCAC will promote approved classes through our website and marketing channels and expect host artists/organizations to do the same.
