We add up each visit (via the door counter) to the gallery, our events, our classes. In 2024 we are projecting a total of 43,455 visits based on door counter attendance counts for events, walk-ins and classes from January 1- September 1. Due to the increase in 2024, we will predict a flat attendance with sustained marketing levels. 2. We review our Facebook demographics and Google analytics to understand where our visitors are from. 3. We review our membership and mailing list and see where they are from. 4. We review a sample survey from the front desk that asks where visitors are from. This year we conducted two surveys the week of 7/6 and 8/29. 5. We compare the percentages of those from inside the county, out of the county, and out of the state. See attachment. 6. We determine an average percentage of those from out of the state and out of the county and apply that to the overall number of visits. Out of state average of all numbers is 5% plus out of county average is 25% totalling 30% out of Kittitas County. 7. We multiply our projection of visits by these numbers. Our projection for 2025 is 43455 x .05= 2172 Out of state visitors 43455 x .25 = 10,863 out of county visitors totalling 13035 visitors from out of county 8. We make a modest assumption that 1 out of 30 of these 13035 visitors from out of state plus out of county (434) will pay for lodging. We have been using the same methodology since 2014 2500 character limit Application Questions: Part 5 Yes No We apply for several grants throughout the year from the National Endowment for the Arts, Washington State Arts Commission, Ellensburg Arts Commission as well as seek sponsorships to support our exhibits and programs. 2500 character limit We will scale down our promotion beyond 50 miles and adjust our exhibit calendar to include less visiting artists. 2500 character limit. 2754.56 This field will auto fill with the correct percentage based on your input to budget section below.
