Yes Nature of Organization Arts Organization DocuSign Envelope ID: 060238A0-9372-4481-BC57-ECCBD1F06A8B Primary Organization Description Founded in 2010, FRANK is a contemporary fine arts gallery featuring work by local artists and enriching community through exhibitions, ev ents and arts education. The Gallery displays and sells the work of more than 100 mostly local artists and its 22 member artists operate the Gallery’s retail business and until the end of May 2020 the nonprofit Michael and Laura Brader-Araje Community Outreach Gallery also located in Univ ersity Place. The members also support the Gallery’s financial v iability through membership dues and multiple fund-raising ev ents. The Gallery has a Board of Directors and one full time employee, Natalie Knox our gallery manager. Ov er the past ten years the Gallery has presented both v isual and performing arts free to the public. In 2019, more than 8,100 people v isited the gallery and an additional 3,150 attended ev ents there. Approximately 70% of these v isitors were from the Chapel Hill -Carrboro area, 15% were from Durham, 10% from Raleigh/surrounding areas and 5% were from outside the Triangle. Attendees and local participants of all races and religions attended workshops, classes, salons, openings, artist talks and fund raisers. Participating v isual and performing artists included those with Caucasian, African American, and Nativ e American. Asian and Hispanic heritages. In addition, the Gallery partners with many local arts and community organizations on projects that particularly benefit the Chapel Hill-Carrboro community. FRANK also has a v ibrant Karen Youth Art Group serv ing young Burmese artists who were born in refugee camps in Thailand after their homes were burned down by the Burmese (Myanmar) military. Through associating with these young people on a weekly basis ov er a period of eight years, FRANK has achiev ed a great measure of success. One student is now in Guilford College and currently applying to law school, another is studying Fine and Graphic Arts at UNC Greensboro, others are contemplating a career in the graphic arts while two are contemplating careers in the medical field Exposure to artists from FRANK Gallery, writing an illustrated bilingual book(Karen/English) about our local Transplanting Traditions Community Farm and creating art portfolios and exhibitions hav e furnished these students with confidence, excellent skills and dreams enabling them to make career choices.

W e might add here that the $10,200 PPP we receiv ed under the Cares Act was instrumental in our being able to keep our gallery manager paid during lock down. Our physical gallery space and our relationship with our landlord is critical during both certain and uncertain times. Ev en though we created an online shop from mid-March to July 1st 2020 when the gallery was closed, we still sustained a loss of $32,461 in sales during that closure prov ing how critical it is to hav e an accessible physical business space. Our one fundraising ev ent of the year, the "Off the W all Gala" typically helps the gallery maintain a surplus throughout the year. Howev er, with the postponement of that Gala and the mov e to make it a v irtual ev ent in the fall of 2020 we are facing a lot of "unknowns" and will likely generate less income from this our main fundraising effort. PROJECT/PROGRAM INFORMATION Tell us about your project or program Title of Grant Request Operational Grant for rent and utilities for FRANK Gallery (Franklin Street Arts Collectiv e) Grant Amount Requested $3000 DocuSign Envelope ID: 060238A0-9372-4481-BC57-ECCBD1F06A8B Is the person in charge of this program or project different from the Authorizing Official? No W hat are you requesting funding for? Operational expense (arts organizations ONLY) Request Summary W e are requesting a grant for $3000 to assist with FRANK gallery's rent of $1,608/month which includes HVAC/trash and water charges by Univ ersity Place. FRANK shows the work of its 22 member artists and also the work of a wide range of local and regional artists including painters, ceramicists, fiber artists, jewelers, photographers and artists working in wood and mixed media. Since the onset of COVID-19 in March 2020, we hav e been busy not only maintaining the quality of art in our Gallery and paying our Gallery manager and rent but also making the work of our participating artists av ailable online. W e hav e created an ongoing v irtual exhibit of all the work that is in the Gallery and set up a v irtual shop. During the lockdown 20% of the shop's proceeds went to PORCH, the local hunger relief non-profit program with the rest going to the gallery and its artists. Now open under NC COVID Stage 2 orders on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 12-5:00pm, we are also accepting reserv ations for priv ate v iewings often with the purpose of purchasing art. W e are back on our show schedule and are busy interv iewing participating FRANK artists for our online artist talk series. Nev ertheless, we are being dictated by COVID-19's trajectory and if we lock down again we now hav e a robust online presence to present to the community. Essential to ev erything is the retention of our physical exhibition space for which we are seeking operational support. DocuSign Envelope ID: 060238A0-9372-4481-BC57-ECCBD1F06A8B Organizational Goals As stated, FRANK Gallery is a contemporary fine arts gallery featuring work by local artists enriching the community through exhibitions, ev ents and arts education. W e are the only non profit fine arts gallery in Chapel Hill-Carrboro and our community outreach mission has led us to collaborate with a broad spectrum of arts and community minded organizations. Until the end of June 2020 and in addition to our main art gallery, we also ran the FRANK Community Gallery in Univ ersity Place which gav e us an ideal space for teaching and partnering with our many non-profit collaborators in our attempt to fulfill that part of our mission. These organizations hav e included the Orange County Artists Guild, Duke Center for Documentary Studies, UNC-Chapel Hill Art Department and Arts For Life program at Duke Hospital. W e no longer hav e the Community Gallery-the Mall has plans to re purpose that space. Our main commitment now is keeping FRANK Gallery as a high quality fine arts gallery, partnering with other community groups at FRANK, maintaining an online shop and our v irtual exhibits,sharing talks by artists and other community leaders and to maintain our FRANK Karen Youth Art Group (Burmese refugees) which, for the past eight years, has used the gallery as a teaching v enue and a v aluable source of inspiration for youth art. Our goal for this youth group is, through our art and enrichment activ ities, to support them with real skills and v isions and future liv es that schools and home cannot equate. W e are also aware of the need to show the work of culturally div erse local artists and currently hav e on display the work of our FRANK emerging artist (a one year designation), Charlie Dupee, who is black and who also belongs to the LGBTQ Community as well as the work of three other artists featured for the first time at FRANK. W e are applying for operational support to help us meet our current ov erhead expenses which will enable us fulfill our organizational goals and ensure that FRANK continues to stage high quality contemporary art exhibitions at its current purpose built v enue. Like all arts organizations, we hav e been impacted by COVID-19. Nev ertheless, our resilience, our ability to attract a $10,200 PPP Cares Act loan and a $1,000 Orange County Arts Commission emergency grant together with the continued support of our membership and the public all indicate that FRANK Gallery is an artistic force which the Chapel Hill/Carrboro and Orange County communities v alue. DocuSign Envelope ID: 060238A0-9372-4481-BC57-ECCBD1F06A8B How will you evaluate whether or not your goals have been met? W e are constantly ev aluating whether our goals are being met through monthly membership and board meetings. W e ev aluate our success as a fine arts gallery not only by sales but also by sustained interest from non-member local professional artists in showing in the space and by the continuing support of our art collectiv e's membership. In addition, our Gallery curator with membership support plans and monitors all the exhibitions and the quality of work being shown at the Gallery. All members hav e to be juried in (including the emerging artist candidate) by a committee of members. W e ev aluate our ability to enrich the community through exhibitions, ev ents and arts education by attendance and by the public's engagement with the gallery's art work and donations to its non-profit activ ities. In the case of the Karen Youth Art Group, we ev aluate our art enrichment programs and the dev elopment of our youth groups' progress by our students' ability to engage in further studies and enter higher education.Giv en our loss of the FRANK Community Gallery we are still attempting to make the shift from face to face art education by our artists to online offerings through posting v ideos on our website and through social media channels. This will take some time giv en our current need to concentrate on putting the Gallery's fine arts offerings and artist presentations online. Our ultimate goal is to stay in business and that goal can only be ev aluated by our ability to remain sustainable. The gallery is staying ahead of changes by getting behind v irtual means to keep our new and existing clientele engaged. Our current efforts to adapt to the changes caused by COVID will need to be constantly ev aluated both by our membership and Board during the v irus's trajectory in the coming months. DocuSign Envelope ID: 060238A0-9372-4481-BC57-ECCBD1F06A8B How do you promote and publicize the work of your organization? FRANK promotes and publicizes the work of our gallery through a v ariety of means, mostly using av ailable free promotion organizations. Our website is continuously updated to increase v iewership through our artist’s pages, v ideos, v irtual exhibit, and our online shop. The gallery is back to its regular schedule of changing the exhibits ev ery two months, and we hav e made a Showcard promoting the four featured artists and mailed it to our 800 constituents. W e regularly submit our ev ents/exhibits to the OCAC and INDY magazine websites. W e also send regular e-blasts to ov er 3000 people who hav e signed up for our emails. Our emails hav e links directly to our website as well as to other organizations we are/were promoting such as PORCH. W e also submit 4-7 Instagram and Facebook posts weekly and pay for sponsored boosts in order to place our posts in front of a larger audience. During shut-down we created our own Instagram campaign called #FRANKathome showcasing the artwork that customers hav e purchased and hav e hanging in their homes as a way to highlight and celebrate customers. W e also work with journalists and editors from Chapel Hill Magazine and the Daily Tar Heel for articles about our ev ents and updates from our gallery. The gallery had been doing monthly posts with ArtGuide Magazine Online. Unfortunately that website did not surv iv e the tribulations of COVID and is now shut down. Please describe efforts by your organization to generate revenue. Almost as soon as the decision was made to close the gallery down in mid-March we created an online, v irtual exhibit in order to show the public the beautiful new exhibit that had just been set-up 5 days prior to closing. W e then quickly created an online shop, with 20% of the proceeds going to local organization PORCH. The shutdown pushed us to open the online shop and it is something that we will keep up going forward, with regular updates with new work. Our gallery manager then arranged for non-contact pick-up of purchased works from artists which, in turn, were deliv ered to customers. W e also shipped sev eral pieces of art out of state. Because the post lock down opening date seemed ambiguous the gallery then made a request from our constituents for donations in order to assist with some immediate expenses. W e also applied for $10,200 PPP under the Emergency Cares Act which we receiv ed and also for support from the Orange County Arts Commission's Relief Fund from which we receiv ed $1000. Since re-opening the gallery in July, we hav e been promoting the fact that we are now open again with shorter hours and the fact that we are also offering priv ate gallery v isits by appointment. Throughout the onset of COVID 19 restrictions our gallery manager has stayed in regular contact with customers and taken ev en opportunity to generate sales. Furthermore, by continuously promoting work through e-blasts and social media we hav e been able to maintain our presence v irtually, with little lapse, consequently maintaining our relev ance with the public. Despite the fact that since re opening we hav e had a significant decrease in foot traffic we hav e had an increase in sales from June and July 2019 v s June and July 2020.
