11 Project/Event Description
Please provide a description of your project/event and identify the specific tourism audience/market that your
organization will target with these funds. You must include an itemized list of exactly how any grant funds
awarded will be utilized.
Response 1: Gallery One requests funds to support targeted marketing to arts friendly
Project/Event audiences of our events and exhibits throughout 2019. The marketing strategies
Description* use psychographic segmentation and collaborative marketing techniques.
Audience/market:
1. Our target audience is comprised of self -identified arts lovers. They go to arts
events such as the theater and music productions, they purchase art at auctions
and visit other galleries. We knowthis because they have either visited Gallery
One in the past (and we have captured their mailing address) or are attending an
arts related event in other cities. This audience we are targeting through methods
one and two - print advertising with other cultural organizations around the state
and through Gallery One printed material distribution via mail.
Our secondary audience is the cultural tourist. It is generally agreed that cultural
tourists spend substantially more than standard tourists do. According to an
Americans for the Arts report, "cultural travelers- both domestic and international —
are ideal tourists. They spend more and stay longer". This is a subset of our
primary market. They are arts lovers but we have not met them yet. This audience
we are targeting through methods one, three and four- print advertising, Google
Ads and NWPB. 83% of listeners take action in response to an NPR sponsorship
announcement.
Our tertiary audience includes those who might visit Ellensburg for other reasons
(other events and conferences) who also have an interest in the arts. As indicated
in visitor interactions, we believe we have value added benefit to those visiting for
other primary reasons, i.e parents visiting students at CWU. This audience we are
targeting through methods one and four NWPB and Google Ads.
Strategy: Our strategy is five -fold: 1) Print advertising with other arts organizations
around the state that cater to arts audiences; 2) Expansion of distribution of
Gallery One produced print materials to addresses outside of 50 mile radius.; 3)
continue NWPB advertising; 4) Google Ads; 5) Artists expenses to bring artwork to
Gallery One.

21 Projections of Increased Tourism
Please provide the following estimates of how any money received will result in increases in the number of people
traveling for business or pleasure on a trip:
1. Away from their place of residence or business and staying overnight in paid accommodations;
2. To a place fifty miles or more away from their place of residence or business for the day or staying overnight;
3. or from another country or state outside of their place of residence or business.
You must provide the evidence utilized in determining your projections.
Response 2.1: 1. Away fromtheir place of residence or business and staying overnight in paid accorrrrodations;
Projection* 256 - visits away from business or place of residence and overnight in paid
accommodations. (1 out of 30 of the 7686 out of county and state visits).
2500 character lirrit
Response 2.1: Our logic is as follows:
Evidence *
1. We add up each visit (taken at the front desk) to the gallery, our events, our
classes. This year, in 2018, we modestly project that will total 24,945 visits. We
apply a 10% increase for next year and get 27,450.
2. We review our Facebook demographics and Google analytics of our website to
understand where our visitors are from.
3. We review our membership addresses and all of our addresses and see where
they are from.
4. We compare the percentages of those from inside the county, out of the county,
and out of the state. The attachment shows those numbers for the past three
years.
5. 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 mailing list and members is 6%
Out of county average of mailing list and members is 22%
6. We multiply our projection of visits by these numbers. Our projection for 2019 is
27,450
27450 x.06= 1647 Out of state visitors
27450 x.22 = 6039 Out of county visitors
We only account for the projected increase in tourism, not actual projected tourism.
27450 x.28 =7686 out of state plus out of county visitors
8. We make a modest assumption that 1 out of 30 of these visitors (out of state
plus out of county) will pay for lodging. This totals 256. Kittitas County
Infrastructure plan survey stated that 39% of participants of their survey stayed in
paid lodging.
We have been using similar methodology since 2014 to track our attendance. In
the past we have only shown the numbers based on the increase in tourism. this
year we attempt to represent the total tourism impact.

Response 3 A:
Measuring Results*
What tools w ill you use to measure your event's impact on tourism? Rease be specific and provide examples.
Gallery One will measure tourism impact in the following ways:
a. Compare previous years' event attendance demographics. Gallery One currently
requires addresses for the following events throughout the year: Membership Party
(February), Soup Line (April), Paint Ellensburg (September). We will, therefore, be
able to analyze an increase in attendance from out-of-town visitors.
b. Compare out of town subscriptions to Facebook, visitors to our website and
overall database with those from 2013-2018. Results when comparing statistics
from 2018 show an increase in subscriptions from out of the county to Facebook,
visitors to our website and increased addresses. When comparing the numbers of
Facebook subscriptions, mailing addresses and website visits.
c. Complete a visitor zip code survey in October 2019.
d. Survey visiting artists and facility renters about their visits and record in visitor's

Measuring Results* Lodging Tax Funds Use
Our strategy is five -fold: 1) Print advertising with other arts organizations around
the state that cater to arts audiences; 2) Expansion of distribution of Gallery One
produced print materials to addresses outside of 50 mile radius.; 3) continue NWPB
advertising; 4) Google Ads; 5) Exhibit artists from outside of the area drawing them
and their audiences
1. Print advertisement - $6,000
Advertise at other arts events such as Artist Trust auction, Museum of NW Art in
LaConner, Art at Work in Tacoma, Bellevue Arts Museum. These opportunities are
very low entry and give direct exposure to self selected arts audiences.
2. Print Material Distribution- $2,000
Expansion of Gallery One printed materials to the 1462 addresses on mailing list
outside of the county. Estimated $250/ mailing x 8 mailings to signature events and
quarterly newsletters
3. Radio Advertisements - $5,000
- Continue radio advertising statewide to reflect the demographic of our exhibiting
artists. The NPR Listener is 2.5-3 times more likely to attend an art gallery or art
show than the average radio listener. Two thirds of listeners are between ages 35-
64. NPR Listeners have a median household income of $92,900; US average is
$59,400.
4. Google Ads - $2,000
- With an increase of online traffic and annual traffic of 17,038 we think there is
potential to increase our audience.
5. Exhibition Support - $5,000
Experience shows us that when we exhibit artists from outside communities (such
as Tri -Cities, Montana and Seattle), it draws their audiences as well. In order to
draw more popular artists and create a more diverse exhibition calendar, we seek
funding to support the transportation of artwork and the artists' stays.
Examples for 2019 include:
- The 20th Anniversary of Paint Ellensburg
- Artist expenses for exhibits
General Marketing in Addition to Lodging Tax Funds Use
In addition to the above strategy, Gallery One also uses our website, social media
and other print materials to market our programs. We have an email list of 2,843
and we have All-Star status because of our open rate. We have a general
advertising budget of $3,000 and then each event has it's own budget that includes
marketing or advertising included in it's individual budget.

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

61 Additional Information
Provide any additional information which will assist the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee in evaluating your
project and its benefit to tourism.
Additional Information Gallery One, 50 years old, strives daily to remain relevant to both tourists and
residents by providing interesting programs, classes and exhibitions. In addition we:
- Are open 7 days a week.
- Offer a unique facility for events.
- Offer unique classes to adults and youth.
- Offer unique gifts made by artists in the Northwest.
- Have helped launch many artists' careers locally and nationally.
While our overall estimates of impact are projections, they are based on actual
numbers. We work hard to capture information about our activities and events and
overall effect on tourism. Two examples are below.
Front of house staff is asked to capture visitor profiles. Below are some examples
of our visitors from out of the area. These snapshots reinforce our interests in
marketing directly to visual arts consumers and artists by going to galleries and
visual arts events outside of the area. Note that many of these snapshots are taken
on a Sunday.

Paid Overnights' Data Support
Explain how the room nights data above from the prior year was collected and how the projection for the next year is
derived. (For example, if there was a survey conducted for the prior year, explain the methodology. For the projections,
what are they based upon and how is that basis justified?)
Prior Year Paid Our logic is as follows:
Overnight's Stay
Response* 1. We add up each visit (taken at the front desk) to the gallery, our events, our
classes. This year, in 2018, we modestly project that will total 24,945 visits. We
apply a 10% increase for next year and get 27,450.
2. We review our Facebook demographics and Google analytics of our website to
understand where our visitors are from.
3. We review our membership addresses and all of our addresses and see where
they are from.
4. We compare the percentages of those from inside the county, out of the county,
and out of the state. The attachment shows those numbers for the past three
years.
5. 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 mailing list and members is 6%
Out of county average of mailing list and members is 22%
6. We multiply our projection of visits by these numbers. Our projection for 2019 is
27,450
27450 x.06= 1647 Out of state visitors
27450 x.22 = 6039 Out of county visitors
We only account for the projected increase in tourism, not actual projected tourism.
27450 x.28 =7686 out of state plus out of county visitors
8. We make a modest assumption that 1 out of 30 of these visitors (out of state
plus out of county) will pay for lodging. This totals 256. Kittitas County
Infrastructure plan survey stated that 39% of participants of their survey stayed in
paid lodging.
We have been using similar methodology since 2014 to track our attendance. In
the past we have only shown the numbers based on the increase in tourism. this
year we attempt to represent the total tourism impact.

Application Questions: Part 5 A
81 Funding
Does your organization have, or have you applied for, grant funding from other sources? If not, why not? If yes, please
list the funding you have for the project, including any volunteer and in-kind sources in Question 91 Project Budget
Overview.
Funding sources and amounts which have not yet been secured will be listed separately, in the field(s) directly below.
Finally, what changes would occur if the project couldn't be funded?
Other Funding* Does your organization have, or have you applied for funding from other sources?
r Yes r No
Funding for which you have applied but not yet secured
Funding Source
Annual corporate and business sponsorship requests
Exhibit and program grants
Funding Shortfalls* What changes would occur if the project couldn't be funded?
Amount
$ 15,000.00
$ 5,000.00
Without project funding, our events and exhibits would suffer from the value added
advertising and promotions beyond Kittitas County. We benefit greatly from the
funding to stay relevant to our market beyond 50 miles.
With 50 years of community support from diverse income sources, we have been
able to both weather troubled times and grow to adjust to the needs of the
community. Gallery One has multiple sources of income that include memberships,
sponsorships, ticket sales, earned income, donations and grants. In 1999, Gallery
One purchased the Stewart building. Each specific event that we produce including
the Soup Line, Paint Ellensburg, Confab and First Friday is supported through a
variety of ticket sales and business sponsors. See attached income/expense
statement for specifics. In past years Gallery One has been awarded funds from
the National Endowment for the Arts, Washington State Arts Commission,
Ellensburg Arts Commission, McMillen Foundation, Umpqua Bank, Wells Fargo and
corporate and local businesses. Regarding a cost -recovery model, all of our events
have an income and expenses that are meant to balance out. It's the excess of
these events that support our free programs for youth, salaries and other general
operating expenses (utilities, repairs, etc). Currently we have a reserve equal to
10% of our budget that is available to our organization should we incur an income
shortfall or emergency expense.
