community through the arts, using photography as the medium for <br />educational programs. Since then, the festiv al has expanded into the <br />CLICK! National Photography Festiv al. This year, FRANK:inFocus will <br />host a series of collaborativ e ev ents culminating in an exhibition at <br />the Gallery. FRANK will partner with the North Carolina Museum of Art <br />and the North Carolina Botanical Gardens to conduct a series of <br />outdoor photography workshops with the resulting professionally <br />prepared student work shown in the Gallery. Depending on the status <br />of COVID-19, the students will either share their work in distanced in- <br />person discussions or online groups. Funding is needed for printing, <br />including ink, paper and mats and promotional materials for the <br />exhibition. <br />• $2,000 would be used for additional technical support for online <br />v irtual programming necessitated by the unpredictable COVID-19 <br />trajectory. W ith the loss of its Community Gallery in May 2020 and <br />with repeated COVID-19 interference in its programming schedule, <br />FRANK members began exploring hybrid means of fulfilling the <br />Gallery's mission of bringing the arts to the Orange County <br />community. FRANK members learned to shoot and edit v ideos with <br />iMov ie using their personal iPhones and computers. One Board <br />member used his own high-end technical equipment to present the <br />Gallery's big fundraiser ev ent as well as bimonthly exhibition <br />openings v ia Zoom. Members employed the use of v arious free web- <br />based platforms to deliv er the programming to its audiences. <br />Howev er, with the continuing presence of COVID-19 in North Carolina, <br />additional technical support is needed to deliv er programming that all <br />members of the community can safely access from their homes. <br />•. $500 of the requested funding will be used for targeted marketing <br />to keep the community apprised of online ev ents. <br />•. $1,000 is requested for operational support for all programming. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 0BAB6BC4-2F5C-4DEE-9934-F018F0E57AEC
