4.Other grants and funding For the past three years,the Arts in Roslyn project has over $10,000 had in donated time and over $2,500 in donated money.We anticipate having this same support in 2016.Our 501(c)3 status makes us eligible for a number of arts-related grants which we will pursue.We will seek grants $600 from the Suncadia Fund for Community Enhancement,$2,000 from the Washington Arts Commission and $1,000 from Roslyn DowntownAssociation.We will also seek sponsorships from downtownRoslyn businesses. The artists pay a fee of $20 to submit two pieces of art,thus the 30 artists who were involved in 2016 created a fund o $600 which we used to fund the prize money and ribbons .If the 2017 Arts in Roslyn does not receive funding,it will be difficult to mount a Festival weekend complete with music and food -both of which we paid for with donated funds.Those funds could only support a Juried Art Show. 5.Collaborations RTown Community has a strong relationshipwith Gallery One in Ellensburg,as well as the High Country Artists in Cle Elum;we work together to advertise one another's events.Since we are a very small organization,it is difficult to encourage county-wide tourism,but we do our best.RTown Community has also worked closely with Roslyn businesses for over nine years.Businesses have provided display space for artists and distributedinformational materials about art events to their clients.The arts organizers have also collaborated with other non-profits in the Upper County including the Roslyn Farmers Market,High Country Artists and the Roslyn DowntownAssociation.Suncadia Resort published full-page color ads twice during the summer.We have an on-going partnership with the Roslyn Farmers Market which provided donated space for a 10'x 10'booth.The Market attracts an average of 3,350 adult tourists for each of 14 Sundays it is open in the summer.In collaboration with the DowntownBusiness Owners and the Roslyn DowntownAssociation,The Arts Festival organizers helped with the distribution over 2,000 full-colorVisitors Guides .
