DocuSign Envelope ID:955CF8D2-2C10-4E40-BC25-542ECC04AE02 <br /> Proposed Use of Funds <br /> Karen Youth Art Group: Funds will be used to continue the development of the students' <br /> artistic talents through one-on-one teaching by FRANK artists and volunteers reinforced with <br /> additional trips to museums and cultural events. One of the Youth Group, Ree Ree Wei, will <br /> have an exhibition of her photographs and research focusing on the plight of undocumented <br /> Hispanic students in our community. The exhibit will be the capstone of her high school senior <br /> year project. Support from OCAC will enable us to have her photos and exhibition materials <br /> printed and framed for the exhibit. Given the sensitivity of the project, she is being assisted by <br /> Lah Htoo Boh, who is inserting drawings and digitally crafted colored images where <br /> photography would be inappropriate. We are also beginning to explore film making with a UNC <br /> photography intern, Bri Ladd, and see the exploration of this medium as an important addition of <br /> the group. As several of the youth look ahead to college, funding would also be used to support <br /> their portfolio development. <br /> Rogers Road Community Center: Funds will be used to begin a yearlong community <br /> awareness project. With a multicultural comprised of 6th to 9in grade students, the Rogers Road <br /> neighborhood, which includes Habitat for Humanity, has a rich history (including a plantation <br /> house with slave quarters) and a diverse population that the children will be investigating and <br /> illustrating through drawings, paintings and photographs under the tutelage of FRANK members <br /> and volunteers. The results of the project will be displayed with the Karen Youth Group work in <br /> the Community Outreach Gallery in April 2017. Tape recorders and additional camera <br /> equipment would enable the children to interview older residents of the area for first-hand <br /> accounts of the area's history. The results will be organized into a suitable format. Member artist <br /> Nerys Levy is overseeing the project. Dr. Levy also oversaw the development and printing of the <br /> Group's "Transplanting Traditions" book. <br /> $1,000 for FRANK:inFocus: <br /> Show Card for the County $250 <br /> CLICK!
