Collaboration * 51 Future Plans RTo\Ml Community has a strong relationship with 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. RTo\Ml Community has also worked closely with Roslyn businesses for over ten years. Businesses have provided display space for artists and distributed informational 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 D01M1to1M1 Association. Suncadia Resort published full-page color ads twice during the summer. We have an on-going partnership with the Roslyn Farmers Market 'Mlich provided donated space for a 1 O' x 1 O' 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 Do\Mlto\Ml Business O\Mlers and the Roslyn D01M1to1M1 Association, Roslyn businesses 'Mlich we cross promote are: Roslyn Rags, Kitchen Sink, Roslyn Brewery, Marco's Place, Willy Nilly Antiques and Relicology, Fused, Brick Saloo,n Copper Crest, Northwest Bicycle Improvement Co, Maggies Pantry, Spring Creek Naturals Soap and Salt, Basecamp Books and Bites, Hope Art, Gallery Neilson Gallery of Fine Art, Gypsy and James, Red Bird Cafe, Cicely's Gifts, The Roadhouse, Roslyn Candy Co., and the Roslyn Mexican Grill 2500 character linil Please explain what plans exist to allow this project to become self-sustaining. Include any plans for ticket sales, event sponsors, and other cost-recovery models. Future Plans* Lodging Tax funds have allowed the Arts in Rolsyn event to develop and grow. One of RTo\Ml Community/Arts in Roslyn goals has been these kinds of relationships. Even as funds dwindle, the relationships remain and that is helping us become more self-sustaining. T here are several components to our plans to become self-sustaining 1. Secure grants from foundations like the Washington State Arts Commission as well as Roslyn Do\MltO\Ml Association and Suncadia Fund for community enhancement as well as independent foundations. 2. In 2017, we began a sponsorship program giving incentives to donors of $200, $500 or $1,000. We received over $9,700 in donations. 3. We applied for an received $2,590 in grants. 4. We will also continue with the Juried Art shows and encourage sales. Artists pay a $20 fee to be considered for the show. Accepted artists can sell up to 10 canvases, and RTo\Ml will get a 20% commission on those and any pieces of art sold. We will continue hold a "Wine Grab" of donated bottles of wine in decorated paper bags. 5. We will also solicit Roslyn businesses to serve as event sponsors in return for advertising in our print material. 6. Our success in bringing the arts to Roslyn has led to another local non-profit organization proposing co-developing a building in to\Ml as an arts center. But we ae in a developmental process that could create a property in to\Ml that would be available or the arts 2500 character lirril Application Questions: Part 4 61 Additional Information Provide any additional information which will assist the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee in evaluating your
