2 <br /> ProUosed Uses of Grant Funds <br /> FRANK is requesting funding from the Arts Commission to specifically fund exhibitions <br /> for our Community Wall Gallery.This includes mounting photographs and wall text;printing of <br /> show cards;and administrative support for invitations, mailing,and continued networking with <br /> programs for children and teens. <br /> FRANK artist members Nerys Levy and Barbara Tyroler will volunteer their time with <br /> the teen programs implemented in conjunction with the exhibitions. Levy will give tours of the <br /> gallery and may provide painting workshops, while professional photographer Tyroler will <br /> document the activities, gifting photographs to the participants. She will lead the students in a <br /> public presentation describing their work and the benefits of using photography to broaden the <br /> understanding of their culture and community. <br /> We envision these projects as an introductory pilot session to determine the needs and <br /> desires of the community for ongoing relationships with organizations that support children and <br /> teens in need. If successful, we hope to include other FRANK artists and community members <br /> to engage in multidisciplinary approaches to working with children and teens through the visual <br /> and performing arts, and to broaden our audience to enjoy our community salons and art <br /> exhibits. <br /> Goals <br /> Through this project, we aim to set a standard and meet our goals for our non-profit arm, <br /> as its mission is to be a catalyst for sharing of ideas and inspiration through forming partnerships <br /> between a diverse population of artists and our community. <br /> *Bring diverse members of our community to the gallery to engage in arts and outreach activities <br /> *Broaden understanding of children,teens,and family experiences,encouraging discussion and <br /> information exchange <br /> *Provide an opportunity for children and teens to display their work in a professional art gallery <br /> Funding Sources,Matching Funds,and in-kind Contributions <br /> FRANK Gallery <br /> For our Community Gallery exhibitions,FRANK routinely funds and produces a Show Card <br /> listing participating artists and Salon events,hosts an Opening Reception,and provides Salons. <br /> Our salaried gallery manager produces an electronic eblast Show Card,creates a newsletter,and <br /> distributes marketing materials to area media. <br /> FRANK Artists <br /> The artists at FRANK volunteer their services to build community partnerships through <br /> programs and outreach activities. <br /> Elon University Elon Academy Scholars Program <br /> Elon Academy Scholars Program provides support for the Photography Inquiry Project including <br /> photographic supplies and field trips <br />
