4 Narrative
Proposed Project—what will you do, where will it be performed or displayed
Part One: What I will do and is being be quested:
Emerging and growing as in an artist, while building on a foundation of forty-five years as a
painting studio artist, I am attempting to combine live gesture drawings with various color
mediums on larger surfaces in performance venues. My project is to create a series of live,
representational gesture-drawing-type portraits of musical performers and community
members at a variety of local music and art festivals. To convey the sense of motion each
musicians makes while singing or playing their instruments, exploration of wide range of
medium and portable surfaces is beneficial. By creating at event, an emotional impact occurs
and shows uniquely in the portraits.The attendees can watch, talk about art when viewing
them after the performance. A wide range of people interact becoming part of the creative
contribution that is valued in our area. Following these events, the portraits are schedule for
exhibits various locations or used in publication (for example, on CD covers, posters, or t-
shirts),In 2015, 1 am scheduled at The ArtsCenter for a show and interactive reception.
I am requesting grant funding to pay for costs associated with the production of the portraits,
including transportation to the venues and/or performances. Additional printed media, a
demonstration video, special art materials, tools as well as web site will maintain the Visual
Music project momentum. By building from two years of experience as well opportunities, I
have acquired a foundation to prepare proposals and schedule regular events. To date I have
not been confident to accept assistance or pursue suggestions without a web site or means too
transport supplies or me. Consistent event artist opportunities in our local areas businesses,
community events, festivals, cultural celebrations are the foundation for ongoing financial
support. The grant will also fund the purchase of a Chrome notebook so to allow me to keep
track of the portraits, immediately schedule future opportunities at venues, document sales,
donations and expenses. A quality printer/scanner is a priority for organization, creating
samples of merchandise, editing images with a customer, producing prints of the portraits,
keeping a professional portfolio up dated.
Much of my live art thus far has been relatively small-sized and done in graphite and charcoal,
but I would like to draw larger portraits (up to life-size) and to employ a wider range of media,
including pastels and paints. A number of the musicians I have previously drawn have
expressed an interest in seeing me work larger, in color and I am inspired artistically to pursue
this new direction. Evidence of encouragement come from Cindy Jones's; "She was able to
capture most of the artists who played because of her unique style. Her quick study technique
somehow allows her to "get" the image, and then move to next artist/musician of study. She
engaged the crowd, at times as much as the live music. I witnessed parents and children watch
her "draw" and then watch the music as I had done when I first met her. They expressed
surprise and appreciation of her drawing sound and action right in front of them.The musicians
too spoke with me about their experience of being "drawn" by her as supportive. Many people
have requested me to work larger so they can watch paintings and them requests to see
exhibits. Visual Music is the means for me to expand my creative abilities by interactively
exploring our creative community, while using my unique skills to make a contribution that is
valued in our area.

Visual Music Project Artist applicant Barbara F Barnes
Narrative continued
Part Two: Experience, support,organizational partners
I have included a project completed with the Live & Local Series for Downtown Partnership. I
have been encouraged and applied for a small grant to exhibit the Live & Local paintings, prints
of local musicians I have drawn and to create a life size gesture of musicians while they are
performing. The Visual Music's first 3-d live interactive art exhibit will be this winter in Chapel
Hill's Window's art project.Jeffrey York hired me to be a Performing Painter for Festifall 2014.
He is indicating I have opportunities to be included in future events.These entire projects take
a great deal of planning, organization, materials, follow up scanning and completing digital
collections of completed. Requested to create sample media and digital collections for the
contractor or my portfolio is difficult without a quality scanner, printer and laptop this is
difficult. I am also frustrated by the amount it takes to work with my current equipment,
circumstances so to complete proposals professionally or maintain time schedules. I will be
bringing in matching funds with these projects.
To gain further experience as emerging an event artist, Michelle King the owner and a Music
Coordinator at Triangle wrote me a letter of support.These are her quotes; "The grant would
provide her with the confidence and monetary support that she needs to continue her
endeavor" "I have seen her struggle and not able, to accept or complete art opportunities from
the lack of basic technological equipment and supplies required." In the same letter she states,
"I know that Barbara Barnes' work would be beneficial to the musician's community. She has
already with her own money, made a difference in the Triangle Music scene." Michelle has
indicated she will provide me opportunities to and give professional suggestions.
This project will help me to achieve my career goals by allowing me to develop my live-art skills
in different media and by opening up new venues for me to do live art where limited
transportation has prevented me from working previously.
Part Three: public component and who will be impacted
Last week I posted this status update on my Art Images Live Facebook page: "Speaking truth! As
a live artist, would you all believe I have drawn with 60ty ebony pencils,two sets pastels and oil
pastels over 60011" X 14" images in in 90ty days. I have used all ten of my 11" x'14
Windpower Sketch(60ty page) pads as well as other drawing papers. I also painted with oil,
acrylic and watercolors) on five large gesso boards,three very large canvas boards and six
stretched canvases in the same amount of time?All of these materials are used up and most
went home with you all for a contribution or not".
Currently live art and the Visual Music painting are unique to this area. The contribution to
attendees is a means to share unique and shared experience of the event. Children, parents,
musicians and artist's state that the 1000's of completed drawings are memorable while
inspiring them to be creative and share their talents. As an artist who draws any location a
person sharing their art in some way them to return to the businesses and venues and to
attend future concerts, festivals, and performances. Businesses and other venues hosting the
musical performances value the memorable and unique opportunity for attendees to view
visual art created right before their eyes. I have included many letters of support valuing live art
DocuSign Envelope ID: 31C2F5CA-4AE1-470E-9A03-ED3712F17DD5
as part of the performance itself, enriching it and effectively translating the music onto paper.
Mark Connor, owner of The Cave, summarized some of the benefits to the community in this
way: "Through Art Images Live, Barbara Barnes provides a unique and memorable experience
for concertgoers and performers. Anything my business can provide that is memorable or
unique in a positive way for our patrons is an advantage; anytime someone leaves The Cave
talking about the performance they have seen, it helps my business....When Barbara draws
musicians, she becomes another interesting and noteworthy aspect of the performance,
something to talk about....It is amazing to watch Barbara work, and it makes concerts at The
Cave much more memorable, more of an event."
Consider the 1000's of musicians I have drawn, their age ranges, cultural backgrounds, varied
economic situation and types of music performed as well as the locations they perform.Just
these musicians' friends, family, music professionals, business owners etc who are present at
these shows and are aware that visual art can be fun and actively included. I have had many
people who do not speak English show appreciation for "image listening" .Also, consider the
fundraising and community events that include live music. I know at least 4000-6000 individuals
in our area have seen me do live art, encouraged and treasured art about themselves or their
community. I treasure each and every person and attempt to be their "art cheerleader" with a
sight of images appreciation." I am sure that Visual Paintings will open up a whole art
adventure with my community I cannot fully anticipate!
® Artist Experience
In the past several years since I launched Art Images Live, I have drawn over 600 different bands
plus individual musicians, comedians, flame acrobatic performers, drum circles, all form of
dance and people who live to move expressively, fund raising events and music festivals . My
Facebook art pages (www.facebook.com/pages/Art-Images-Live/27338551276727) contain
many current examples of my live-art portraits, as well as artwork produced at festivals and
nonprofit fundraisers and for exhibits, commissions, and other projects.
Please see my CD (included in this application) and the accompanying flyers for examples of
some of the live art images I have created.
Please look at the two-sided flyer I created for each of you!
1 created the two sided flyer to give my emerging artist visual story to the grant committee.
My talent is not verbal it is visual and the only means to "show you" live art while being
completed; the images, circumstances and environmental challenges to adapt to while
gaining experience so to create.

Personal Statement
I am currently the owner of Art Images Live,a small business in Carrboro, NC. In my early career, I
painted, exhibited, owned by own art business and completed contracts to develop programming for
the disabled, utilizing art and music. As a mother of four sons and serving on many committees and
advisory boards, I advocated the use of music, art, and recreation to create an inclusive wider
community.
Despite a series of health challenges and surgeries over the past decade, I am an emerging artist after a
professional "gap" in my career.Art Images Live focus is creating live gesture portraits of
people/bands/performers/events while sharing their art with the community. Please see this video link
for my bio and some history: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppTEVsGLuBY. With few supplies, no
car and no current art resume; I can afford to draw but not paint many images. Over the last two years, I
have completed 1000's of drawings, documenting a current art resume and I am anxious to change my
mediums so to create larger color paintings/drawings of the same subjects and themes. Photos from my
digital portfolio displays on Facebook are a means to review past and current images, promote my art
skills, contain comprehensive lists of events,weekly updates as well as information about any activities
related to this project. I had no idea this live art project would grow so rapidly. I am aware that
Facebook may good in certain ways for an artist but a web page is much more important as I hope to
have one in the near future.

To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Michelle King and I am the owner and a Music Coordinator at Triangle
Entertainment Agency. We have been supporting and cultivating NC performing artists for over
25 years. I am recommending Barbara Barnes for your Artist Project Grant.
Your support will allow the completion of her current body of work, called Visual Music Art
Collection possible. The grant, if awarded, will also enable her growth and confidence as an
emerging artist in the live art field.
I know that Barbara Barnes' work would be beneficial to the musicians community. She has
already with her own money, made a difference in the Triangle Music scene. Her talent has been
sought out and requested by venues, festivals, and performers. The performers portrayed in her
unique style from her side-stage prospective is revealed as she creates live art images and other
aspects of an event.
I have seen her struggle and not able, to accept or complete art opportunities from the lack of
basic technological equipment and supplies required.
The grant would provide her with the confidence and monetary support that she needs to
continue her endeavor.
I will look forward to seeing her art exhibited.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Happy Holidays,
Michelle

To whom it may concern:
Through Art Images Live Barbara Barnes provides a unique and memorable experience for concert goers
and performers, enhancing their visit to The Cave. In my nearly 20 combined years in the music and bar
business, I've never seen anything like it-the art is truly amazing & her process is inspiring. Anything my
business can provide that is memorable or unique in a positive way for our patrons is an advantage; any
time someone leaves The Cave talking about the performance they have seen, it helps my business.
Positive word of mouth costs me nothing, increases interest in, and new patrons of my establishment.
Before Barbara started drawing performing musicians via Art Images Live, concert goers might leave. The
Cave and talk about the atmosphere of the bar/venue; they could tell a friend what a great time they had
seeing a band they love or a band they hadn't heard of before.When Barbara draws musicians, she
becomes another interesting and noteworthy aspect of the performance, something to talk about. Imagine
seeing Barbara create her art while watching a band or performer you love to see live-wouldn't you be
excited to share that story with friends? It is amazing to watch Barbara work and it makes concerts at The
Cave much more memorable, more of an event.... The musicians who have been to The Cave and
experienced Barbara drawing them as they perform have had a truly memorable time and I have seen
that they are more likely to return. As someone who has been a touring musician, I can tell you that many
things seem the same and blend together night after night from city to city. Art Images Live is something
that other towns or cities simply do not have- it is special and it occurs here. I hope you strongly consider
supporting Art Images Live; I have and I will continue to. I hope that with your help Barbara can make a
great thing even better.

To Whom it May Concern: Re: Letter of Recommendation for Barbara Barnes to receive support
Visual Music project.
Dear Committee,
I am writing this letter on behalf of Barbara Barnes as her friend, as a fellow artist, and as a
community organizer. I first met Barbara at a music event and witnessed her performing her
craft with a live band. I was intrigued by the way; she interacted with the band and allowed me
to experience the live music performance in a completely new way. Her attention and focus was
contagious and I found.myself noticing nuances about the live performance that I had not
previously appreciated. Afterwards, we talked about what her"interactive art" process was for
her and how she envisioned it as an enrichment to live music. Seeing the band through her
artist eye allowed me to see them in another level of complexity. It was fascinating. I ran into
Barbara again when she was present during one of my live performances. This time, as a
performer, I was keenly aware of her focus upon me, and felt enlivened by her translation of my
music to paper. It was a sense of being appreciated in a way that went beyond applause. Later
as I was able to look at her rendition of what she "saw" in my music, I felt a sense of being
understood and "seen" almost on a soulful level. It was a deeply exhilarating experience. I have
had the privilege of pulling together a few community events with numerous musicians playing
for the Norms Farms Elderberry stage (at Shakori Hills Coffee Barn) and the Elderberry Festival
in August 2013 in Carrboro. Barbara was there at my request to spread her interactive art with
the bands. She was able to capture most of the artists who played because of her unique style.
Her quick study technique somehow allows her to "get" the image, and then move to next
artist/musician of study. She engaged the crowd, at times as much as the live music. I
witnessed parents and children watch her"draw" and then watch the music as I had done when
I first met her. They expressed surprise and appreciation of her drawing sound and action right
in front of them. The musicians too spoke with me about their experience of being "drawn" by
her as supportive. I have asked Barbara to again join our tribe of musicians at the NC Hops and
Roots Festival (at Shakori Hills, Memorial Day weekend) and in the Elderberry Festival in
August 2014. She is a key ingredient to the message of the musician community, of supporting
and encouraging each other. In this area, many of us are working to realize a vision of
sustainable art, where the creation and exchange builds the artist and the whole collective.
Barbara has demonstrated this in real time, and numerous musician/artists from this community
genuinely value her. I strongly encourage you consider supporting her request for resources to
explore her "live art skills" and share this unique Visual Music series. Barbara has shown all the
ingredients of integrity, passion, and true "live exchange" of what art is at its finest. If you should
have any questions about this letter, please contact me at 919-619-1603.
Thank you for your thoughtful review of her proposal.
Sincerely,
Cynthia Dawn Jones

1 first met Barbara at a 3-band event in Cat's Cradle. She amazed me with her artistic flair, literally
dancing to the music while she sketched the musicians.When I looked at a number of her pencil
drawings I could sense a connection with their"art"and hers. Barbara has since been an artistic
presence in virtually every music venue and festival in this area. She is broadly welcomed and
appreciated by numerous bands in the area,and generously contributes her sketches to band
members she portrays. I am very thankful to have one of her drawings of a favorite local band. She
definitely adds a lot to the music venue experience and capturing the essence of the musicians!

I am writing in support of Barbara Barnes'grant application. I believe she has shared her art with incredible
effort and generosity. By finding an innovative way to take it to the people,combining live music with"live
drawing",she has created a new type of performance. She not only records the images in her own way, but
participates in the music scene, getting to know her subjects and fellow listeners, and shares the drawings
with them as well. I have seen many musicians and others post Barbara's drawings as their social media
images,and their enthusiasm for her work is energizing.As an artist myself, I am really pleased to see an
artist do so much with paper and pencil in an age where art is often based in technology. Inspiring young
people to draw is as noble a goal as I can imagine for an artist. I think what Barbara Barnes is doing should
be supported,and I hope you will agree.Thank you for your consideration.

Ms. Barbara Barnes is a well-known figure in the local arts community(Chapel Hill-Durham-
Raleigh and surrounding towns). She regularly attends live music shows in the area,despite
difficulties with health and transportation,to do on-the-spot sketches of the performers. She was the
featured artist in our June 2013 issue. Everyone these days has cell-phone cameras, but Ms.
Barnes'sketches provide a unique record of our thriving local music scene.

I'm a musician in the Durham-Chapel Hill area. Barbara Barnes has attended a couple of my band's
shows and sketched images of both the individual members and the band as a whole. She does a
great job capturing our individual personalities in her own unique style. Social media is really the way
for bands to reach our fans now, and having new content to share on a regular basis is critical for
building our fan base. Having sketches from Art Images Live gives us a new way to connect with our
fans. People love Barbara's sketches, and they broaden the reach of our music as well. In this day
and age, people are less and less willing to pay for music.TV keeps them away from live music,and
free streaming products like Spotify discourage them from buying albums. Making music is a money
pit for most of us,and we certainly don't have the revenue streams to pay for someone like Barbara
to sketch our concerts.That's why artists need patrons. Grant-funding helps to fill the world with
beauty because the market won't do it alone. Supporting Art Images Live is supporting not just one
talented artist but a whole community of musicians.

1 have known Barbara Barnes since 2006. She has been a parishioner in two of the local churches
where I have served as a priest. Over the years, I have seen Barbara make her way through a series of
challenges. There is no question she is a survivor!
Barbara's art deeply enriched both church communities. Despite her challenges,she consistently and
selflessly shared her talents with us and we are so much the better for it!We regularly featured her
art in devotional publications and spiritual events. Many have found inspiration,comfort, and hope in
her work. It would be incredible to see Barbara continue to share these gifts with a broader
community.

Barbara Barnes added so much to All Saints children's club this past summer. The children loved having
their likenesses taken by Barbara and were so proud of their portraits.They had enjoyed craft classes
during the week,and I think it was extra special for them to see an adult who still loved making things with
her hands,working on a craft and creating beauty. Barbara and her work were a very important part of the
week.
As an artist, I especially enjoy seeing Barbara sketching and drawing during our worship services.
Her work is quiet, meditative and interpretive. She is a reminder to all of us of the need to respond to
beauty and life as whole beings.

To whom it may concern:
I have known Barbara Barnes for approximately seven years. She is an extremely caring person
and always looking out for ways to benefit others.
Her spiritual art is uplifting and brings great joy to those who observe it. Her live art is a tribute
to other's accomplishments, while bringing recognition to their art form. If this grant is
awarded to her, she will use it to promote musicians while they are performing and show the
local venues where they perform. This money will fund a series of hand drawn portraits,
watercolors of a diverse group of performers, songwriters, festivals, and the event locations.
The created material will be used in various forms. The limits are endless. To give examples,
the collective images will be used for exhibits, prints, during interactive events and picture
books. Not only, does Barbara create a wide variety within her work, she also brings back
memories for those who have retired from their performing lives by creating images about
them. The money will be used for the first stage of this process and will be continued
throughout many years. The complete project will be completed in stages and will include
events with performances, music, lyrics, video, photographs, interviews and her art.
Awarding Barbara this money will allow her to bring great joy to the many lives that will be
affected by it, whether they are a subject of her art or a viewer of her extraordinary talent. It
will also honor many of the great events that happen in our wonderful community to
memorialize them for future generations. It is with great pride and admiration that I submit
this letter to you and hope that you will agree with me that awarding Barbara this grant is the
right thing to do.

On behalf of Barbara Barnes,
Our band, Bellflower, had a show scheduled for The Cave, in Chapel Hill, NC. As I was going over the
details of the gig with the Cave owner, he told me there may be an artist there named Barbara Barnes that
may want to draw your band as you are playing. I was excited to hear this because I had seen other
bands posting these cool drawings of themselves at various gigs. As it turned out, Barbara was not at our
show, however, later she contacted me about another gig we were having in Chapel Hill, during last year's
Festifall event.
Our show was on the outside deck of the Dead Mule Club on Franklin Street and Barbara was there to
draw us, even after she had been drawing bands all day during Festifall. Her presence turned a great show
in to something even more magical. Our audience was very interested in watching her create her art in
motion right before their very eyes. Sketch after sketch, she seemed to capture the motion of the band as
well as the music.It was a great mixing of two art forms coming together.An amalgam of audio and visual
created on the spot.
Barbara is doing the music community a great service with her art.It helps expose bands and their music
to others that otherwise may have never heard of your band. Her art also serves as great promotion for
us, but not only that, it is proudly hanging on my wall.
Barbara Barnes live art is a unique and a valuable medium for artists and musicians. Bellflower is looking
forward to working with her again.

I am writing this letter in support of Ms. Barbara Barnes' application for grant
funding in order to support her ongoing efforts to collaborate and perform with
musicians throughout Orange County. Ms. Barnes has demonstrated a tenacity
and dedication to her work that is the result of an ongoing recovery process
following a series of medical barriers placed in her way many years ago. Her work
today is a testament to her ability to persevere and endure through
circumstances that few people have to face.
Art Images Live offers a unique opportunity for Orange County community to
participate in and engage with musicians and artists through a unique
collaborative process. By pairing the music of local performers, Ms. Barnes' live
art, concert-goers and musicians alike are able to benefit from an interplay of
distinct and complementary products which entertain and enlighten a wide range
of viewers.
With some supportive funding in place, Ms. Barnes would have the opportunity
to sustain and grow her project in to new directions that would be of great
benefit to the artistic community of Orange County.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
