In addition,artists have demonstrated traditional <br /> pottery techniques,black-and-white and infrared photography,encaustic painting, eco farming, <br /> dance,bookmaking as art, bee keeping,wallpaper and tile design and drawing. mahaloJazz <br /> participated in the FRANK:inFocus outdoor slide show and will return with a Downtown Arts <br /> Project grant for a photography/video/musical improvisation sound and light performance. <br /> With grant support from OCAC,FRANK offered its first series of educational workshops <br /> this past year including drawing,photography,and singing. We have since expanded these <br /> offerings through a series of educational forums through the FRANK:inFocus festival where we <br /> offered over 20 free events to the community free of charge.Topics ranged from collecting <br /> photography as art to journalistic practices in documentation for publications. We brought <br /> speakers from a variety of organizations such as the photography curator of the NC Museum of <br /> Art,The Light Factory in Charlotte,the past co-president of the MidAtlantic American Society <br /> of Media Photographers, Director of the Lewis Hine Foundation at the Center for Documentary <br /> Studies, and owner founder publisher of Daylight magazine, based in Hillsborough, NC. <br /> Through this endeavor,we were able to build and strengthen our relationships with area schools, <br /> galleries,museums,art organizations, and community centers. <br /> See Supplementary materials of ongoing projects from 2010-Current and the <br /> FRANK::InFocus catalogue <br />
