Response 1: ProjecUEvent Description * Gallery One requests funds to support the targeted marketing to arts audiences for our events and e*ribits throughout 2020. Our methods will range from broadcasting to targeted capture. Methods and strategieS include: '1 . Creative distribution tactics to aris organizations and publications around the state that cater to arts audiences through methods such as logo placemeni, print advertising, articles, and tabling opportunities. This bypasses the assumed efficiency of social media and instead goes direcily to the consumer AND associates us with an already trusted brand (other arts organization). 2. Radio advertising 3. Support of eftibit e43enses such as travel, lodging, and art delivery e)eense. This is capturing the spheres of influence that artists have. By eiribiting artists from the region we have new access to their existing audiences. 4. Lease and start up fees for an online iniegrated ticketing system and visitor tracking program. Through the integration of an effective audience capture platform, u,e will be able to target our message to audiences (through methods such as lp codes, purchasing habits and time of year) We have three tourism audience/markets that ue will target: '1 . Our targei audience is self- identified arts lovers, those that have a proven propensity to attend art eftibits and events but are not araare of Gallery One. "l didn't know that there was an arts center in Ellensburg too, rne should go check out their studlo toursl" We are targeting this audience through radio and creative distribution tactics with arts organizations around the state. 2. Our secondary audience is those who have a proven propensity to support specific artists, the cultural tourist. "l heard this artist is showing at Gallery One, vre have io stop by and see their rivrrk." The cultural tourist according to the 2018 Dean Runyan report averages $200/day in spending. We are targeting this audience through creative tactics to arts orgs, our visitor tracking system and artist engagement. 3. Our tertiary audience is comprised of those that are not traveling for specific arts eperiences but do see art as a value added eperience. "We love to taste wine and I also heard that there are lots of galleries in Ellensburg." These are cultural tourists thai uould likely listen to NWPB, attend an arts event with a friend or need a secondary activity while iheir partner is fly-fishing or attending a sports game. We reach these audiences through our tracking system and NWPB. 2500 character linit List of lntended Use of Funds * Marketing with arts organizations and publications Radio advertising Efribit e4cense Ticketing and visitor tracking subscription 2l Projections of lncreased Tourism Please provlde 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.

Over those years we have developed diverse sources of revenue that include memberships, earned income through classes and art and gift sales, granis, business sponsorships, individual donations and events. Our primary mission as a nonprofit is to prbvide access to the arts for all regardless of income or ability and v\e are accountable to our donors to use funds for this purpose. We are able to balance our budget every year. Funds from lodging tax are not built into our annual operating e&enses so \ ie are not dependent on these funds to serve our mission, but they do allow us to grow our audience and promoie Kittitas County. Regarding a cost-recovery model, all of our events have income and expenses that balance out. lt's the excess of these events that suppori our free programs for youth, salaries and other general operating e)penses (utilities, repairs, etc). We have accumulated a small nest egg in case of loss or une4cected expenses and are currently undergoing an endowment campaign to further our susiainabilily. 2500 character linit Application Questions: Parl 4 6l Additional Information Provide any additional information which will assist the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee in evaluating your project and its benefit to tourism. Additional lnformation Gallery One is located in dorrvntovr,n historic Ellensburg in the Steuart building, directly across from the Rotary Pavilion. We purchased the building in 1999 and take this responsibility seriously and treat it as an honor to have such an important and prominent piece of real esiate in our community. To that end, we assume the full responsibility of maintaining it's historic integrity through updates, repairs and improvements. We understand that this building is more than an art cenler or gallery, it is a public asset and a community gathering space. As irue hope is evident in our application, we put a tremendous effort into making our space available to others (Jaz.in ihe Valley, Brewfest) at little or no charge. ln addition \ffe pul a considerable amount of effort to promote what vr,e do outside of Kittitas County to draw visitors to the area with the hopes of increasing traffic for everyone. A majority of the evenls and e*tibits that ure are promoting are free! All e>fribits, our Pecha Kucha events, and the studio tour are free to eperience. Seven days a week, anyone can come and experience art, use the restroom and grab a glass of trater at no charge. We feel our marketing plan complements the other fantastic efforts that are happening in our county, ue are grateful to have access to this funding to promote arts and culture in Kittitas County. Over the years \ ire have learned about the impact of ihe cultural tourist (as per the Dean Runyan report's average of $200/ day in spending) and ule seek to be a drawto that visitor while alvrays maintaining our integrity through mission driven choices to support access to the arts for all. 2500 character linit Supporting Documents You nay upload any supporting docunents such as graphs, inages, diagrane , ryBrketing rmterials, etc. GalleryOne202OSupporting Documents.pdt 466.14KB Yar are allorued tosubnit upto 3 single'pge (LE Lette| docunents in JFq FFor TlFFfo{nBt 7l Previous Lodging Tax Grant lnformation Previous Years Awarded Lodging Tax Grants* Fhs your event received Lodging Tax funds in previor.rs years?

Prior Year Paid Overnight's Stay Response * Prior Year Paid Overnight Stay Data Application Questions: Part 5 We make a modest assumption that 1 out of 30 of these visitors (out of state plus out of county) will pay for lodging for an average of 2 nights. This totals 363. lf on average they stayed for 2 nights, that could be 726 nights. Our numbers are deduced through the evidence mentioned in the evidence categories (visitors, urebsite, survey, mailing list, etc) as u,ell as through conversations ure have with our visitors.

The Yakima artist has visited the e>fiibit once a week with a friend or relative (8 visits). ln addition the October artist came to drop off uork with three friends and is spending the night (traveled from Montana). - 13 visits overnight (5 people for 2 nights) - 10 day trips and possible overnighis Paint Ellensburg occurred on September 14 and 21. For the dinner we had 31 guests from out of the county. We know four guests that stayed with friends, tlvr wiro rented a hotel and four ra/ro drove from Yakima. - 6 visits overnight - 25 day trips and possible overnights We also conducted our survey during this time which revealed ihat 40 visitors came from out of state or country and 1 08 came from out of the county during a 1 0 day time period (375 visitors urere surveyed). - 40 visits overnight - 108 day trips and possible overnights For 2020 r,tre have assumed an 8% increase of numbers based on the Evidence submitted. 2500 character linii. h addition to field above, you rmy upload the evidence to support the prior years' roon/night infornation.
