Future Plans* Funds from lodging tax are requested for promotions expenses for our events, <br />exhibits and programs. Each of these events, exhibits, v,orkshops are self- <br />sustaining. The need is to continue to expand our reach and grow our services and <br />sustainability. <br />With 50 years of consistent community support from a diverse base , we have been <br />able to both weather troubled times and grow to adjust to the needs of the <br />community. Gallery One has multiple sources of income that include memberships, <br />sponsorships, ticket sales, earned income, donations and grants . In 1999, Gallery <br />One purchased the Stewart building . Each specific event that we produce including <br />the Soup Line, Paint Ellensburg, Confab and First Friday is supported through a <br />variety of ticket sales and business sponsors . See attached income /expense <br />statement for specifics. In past years Gallery One has been awarded funds from <br />the National Endowment for the Arts , Washington State Arts Commiss ion , <br />Ellensburg Arts Commission, McMillen Foundation, and corporate and local <br />businesses. Regarding a cost-recovery model, all of our events have income and <br />expenses that balance out. It 's the excess of these events that support our free <br />programs for youth, salaries and other general operating expenses (utilities, <br />repairs , etc). We have accumulated a small nest egg in case of loss or unexpected <br />expenses. <br />2500 character linit <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 />"'· ·-·'
