Future Plans* Lodging Tax funds have allowed the Roslyn Art Fest event to develop and grow. <br />There are several components to our plans to become self-sustaining <br />1. Secure grants from foundations like the Washington State Arts Commission as <br />well as Roslyn Downtown Association and Suncadia Fund for community <br />enhancement as well as independent foundations. <br />2. In 2017, we began a sponsorship program giving incentives to donors of $200, <br />$500 <br />or $1,000. We received over $9.700 in donation and $2,590 in grants <br />2. We will also continue with the Juried Art shows and encourage sales. Artists pay <br />a $20 fee to be considered for the show. Accepted artists can sell up to 10 <br />canvases, and RTown will get a 20% commission on those and any pieces of art <br />sold. We will continue hold a "Wine Grab" of donated bottles of wine in decorated <br />paper bags. <br />4. We will also solicit Roslyn businesses to serve as event sponsors in return for <br />advertising in our print material. <br />2500 character lirrit <br />Application Questions: Part 4 <br />61 Additional Information <br />Provide any additional information which will assist the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee in evaluating your <br />project and its benefit to tourism. <br />Additional Information Roslyn in unique in that we have thousands of tourists come to us. It makes more <br />sense to encourage them to come back (and bring friends and family) than to <br />expend energy and funds to reaching out to strangers.
