Please attach the proposed budget for this event. 3 of 3 REV02/10/20  VENUE ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT According to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1992, individuals with disabilities are protected from discrimination "in the enjoyment of any right, privilege, advantage, or opportunity enjoyed by others in the services, programs, or activities provided or made available [funded] by local governments, their instrumentalities or agencies.” Thus, in order to operate legally and to assure that ALL members of our community may benefit from arts events funded (wholly or in part) through the PT Arts Commission any event receiving funding must be held in an accessible venue and that accessibility and any inaccessible aspects of a venue be noted in the publicity for each event. "Accessible" means that anyone in a wheelchair, scooter, walker or on crutches or cane(s) can gain access and entry to and enjoy/participate in the event being held as can anyone who is temporarily able-bodied - this includes access to accessible restroom/ toilet facilities. The accessibility of several Port Townsend area venues are on record. If you are not sure, DASH (Disability Awareness Starts Here) has agreed to do assessments free of charge. Call 360-379-0274, or 360-379- 5064. Please check each question below. For further information, consult the booklet “People First: Planning Events Everyone Can Attend," which is available in City Hall, 2nd floor. Can a person with mobility issues or using walker, crutches, wheelchair, or scooter: ☐ Park near venue in a Handicapped Parking space? ☐ Enter the building without assistance? (i.e. no stairs or barriers to entry, door able to be opened with closed fist and not too heavily weighted minimum) ☐ Enjoy/participate in the event as fully as a temporarily able-bodied person? (i.e., wheelchair seating, elevator or lift if more than one floor minimum) ☐ Are the restroom/toilet facilities accessible? (i.e., toilet at least 17" high, grab bars minimum requirements) ORGANIZATION NAME: PROJECT NAME: DATE: Please Specify if the funds are Secured or Anticipated Amount Grant Amount Requested from PTAC Amount -$ -$ -$ -$ -$ -$ -$ -$ -$ -$ -$ -$ -$ -$ -$ -$ -$ -$ -$ -$ -$ -$ -$ -$ -$ Total Project Expenses (must equal project income) Amount requested from Port Townsend Arts CommissionTotal Income from Other SourcesTotal Project Income (must equal your project expenses) Port Townsend Arts Commission Funding Request Budget Template INCOME EXPENSES Instructions: Enter descriptions and amounts in the appropriate columns. For "Help," click on a cell with a red triangle in the corner. Source of Income Detailed Expenses Grant amount requested from PTAC Income from other sources Who do we fund? The Port Townsend Arts Commission (PTAC) can fund either organizations or individuals who are bringing public art to the Port Townsend area. What is funding available for? We fund projects that bring the arts to the public, meaning that it funds projects with artistic merit that culminate in some sort of an event that is open to the public. This often means a performance, but it can include things like exhibitions, talks, screenings, or any arts education related public project. First time applicants are strongly encouraged. Each PTAC funded event must have either free entry, or at least one pay-what-you-want performance. Please note that every project must have an event taking place in the calendar year in which it was approved. This can get a little tricky if your event is in early January, so please keep that in mind when you are applying. When should I submit my application? We take applications year round with the deadline based on your project, so you don’t have to worry about missing a once a year deadline. We review applications in the order in which they are received, and currently we are able to see nearly all of our applications each month. If you submitted an application with us and your event is more than a month out, and it happens to be a busy month, we may bump your application review to the next month. In general, we recommend that you apply early in the year when we still have our full funding budget, and that you apply well in advance of your event. Our meetings are the first Wednesday of every month, so in order to be considered you should submit by the 20th of the month prior to the one you would like to be reviewed in. Can my event be funded after it’s happened? In short, no. But we are more likely to fund your next project if you can prove that you have successfully created other events. What is LTAC and how do I get LTAC funding? LTAC is the lodging tax that is collected from hotels and b&bs in the city, and used to fund programs that bring more tourists to our area. PTAC was given some of these funds that they can pass on to arts organizations who can prove that their event brings in outside visitors. As an example, you are advertising your event in Seattle, and you are able to collect some kind of data on how many people from outside Jefferson County have attended your event. What are ways I can track out of town participants for LTAC? If you are using a digital advertising platform you can request that data from the person that you bought ads from, that’s the high tech way of going about it. A low tech approach would be asking for a show of hands if you’re holding an event where you’ll have everyone's attention, or asking for a zip code at the door. As long as you are able to include this data and the way that you tracked it, we’ll be happy to release LTAC funds to you. I’ve submitted my application, now what? PTAC will review your application at our next meeting, which is the first Wednesday of the month. You’ll get an invitation to join us for the review processes if your application is going to be reviewed. We highly recommend that you do this, you’ll have a chance to clarify any points we may have questions over, and your passion for your project can help us to see the benefit it will have for our community. We will make a decision on funding at that meeting, and if you are unable to attend you will be notified of our decision via email. My Application was approved! What happens next? Congratulations! We know you’ll create something fantastic for our community. Now the city is going to issue you a contract requiring your event to happen as indicated. After your event takes place you’ll need to submit an invoice and a follow-up report. After you’ve submitted these, then the city will issue a payment. I’d like to change elements of the project that you have already approved. What do I need to do to make sure you’ll still fund me? PTAC needs to be kept in the loop. If you need to make changes to your project that is ok, we understand that sometimes things need to be modified, but in order to be transparent to the community we need to make sure that those changes are in the public interest. Please email PTAC your changes so that we can discuss them and approve them at the next PTAC meeting. If you do not let us know about any changes, then we may not be able to release the funds to you for your project.
