Venue Accessibility Statement
Park near venue in a handicapped parking space?
Are the restroom facilities accessible? (i.e., toilet at least 17" high, grab bars)
Describe how your project will benefit and consider the diverse population of the greater Port
Townsend community:
I believe my project will help benefit the community by bringing business to local venues and by
creating an event that
highlights the creative talent of the local community.
Explain how the City’s funding will support the project. If the project can still be done without City
funding, show how the requested funds will improve the project:
The city's funding would be a major help to the project. Although the project can still happen
without funding, it makes
all the difference in regards to the value of the production we are trying to put on. We are aiming
to put on productions that
make the audience feel as though they have paid more than $25 to see a show. Funding from the
city means a better budget
to make all of that happen.
Explain how the project will either target Port Townsend/East Jefferson residents or, if the event
is designed to bring in visitors from the area, how you will advertise to those visitors:
While our shows are meant to bring the local community together, we have also had visitors from
other areas which is great!
Advertisement includes social media, local publications, and word of mouth. Specifically for
visitors we advertise in other counties
as well.
If this event has received Arts Commission funding in the past, please explain any proposed
changes to the event and any change in the requested funding amount. No it has not received
funding in the past.

Are the restroom facilities accessible? (i.e., toilet at least 17" high, grab bars)
Describe how your project will benefit and consider the diverse population of the greater Port
Townsend community:
Some of the highest priorities for JCHS’s public programming are offering accessible programs
that are free or low-cost, and occurring during hours when more locals (and their families) are
available. Our non-local audiences’ interactions with our museum happen more in our physical
exhibition spaces, and our limited hours of operation tend to be less of a barrier to them, as
tourists traveling for leisure can more easily plan their visit around our hours. However, it’s
extremely important to us to ensure that our local audiences—particularly those with more
schedule constraints and responsibilities— also have access to engaging arts experiences in our
community and multiple opportunities to participate.
Along with the timely priorities described, a perennial priority in our museum programming is
involving and supporting local artists. Our request is intended to support these priorities and fund
the annual JCHS + KPTZ Holiday Extravaganza event that will most directly benefit local residents
and artists as well as visitors.
The Holiday Extravaganza is free to attend and open to the public on Saturday, December 9, from
1PM to 5PM. Guests can join in-person at the museum or listen live on the radio at 91.9 FM or
online at kptz.org. In addition to musical performers, there will be interviews and trivia in between
sets.
JCHS operates Jefferson County’s only non-commercial, publicly accessible art museum where
artists can exhibit their work for public engagement and educational purposes rather than the sale
of artwork. Showcasing local artists for our local audience will always be at the a critical
component our exhibitions and programs. With that distinction comes a great responsibility to
eliminate barriers to engagement while also supporting our local creative workforce and staying
fiscally healthy as an organization.
Our regular museum admission and fee-based programs are both critical sources of earned
revenue for us, but it’s important for us to offer periodic programming that is free,
multidisciplinary, and geared towards our local community. Offering programs that are free or
pay-what-you-wish throughout the year is a key way for us to expand access to local arts. Artists
involved in this programming should be paid equitably for their time to ensure we have a thriving
creative workforce.
Explain how the City’s funding will support the project. If the project can still be done without City
funding, show how the requested funds will improve the project:
This grant from the Port Townsend Arts Commission would fund $100 honoraria each for five
musicians who will be performing as part of this free, all-ages arts program. This gift will also
fund a $350 honorarium for the sound engineer running the broadcast.
Without the grant we are requesting, we may not be able to do the program. We don’t currently
have funds to pay the honoraria, and we are hesitant to do the program if we are unable to provide
them. We want to set a precedent by offering honoraria to musicians and the sound engineer;
these working artists should be compensated for their time, expertise, and value - they should not
be expected to work for free.
Explain how the project will either target Port Townsend/East Jefferson residents or, if the event
is designed to bring in visitors from the area, how you will advertise to those visitors:
Our free museum programming is one of the vital ways we connect Port Townsend and Jefferson
County residents to local arts. Each first Saturday of the month, we offer free, extended hours, to
afford those who live nearby multiple chances to visit the Jefferson Museum for free throughout
the year and experience our changing exhibitions and programming. The Holiday Extravaganza
will provide an additional opportunity for residents to visit the museum near the holidays.
In the summer of 2023, approximately 23% of museum visitors were from Jefferson County and
47% from elsewhere in Washington State. However, in the Fall and Winter seasons, our local
visitation percentage trends further upward. Additionally, our public program participation tends
to be more overwhelmingly local; it’s expected that two-thirds or more of the Holiday
Extravaganza participation will be Jefferson County residents. (For example, at our free We Are
One exhibition opening in early October, about 70% of the roughly 100 attendees were from
Jefferson County.)
This programming also gives our community a free opportunity to experience three exhibitions
that are on view through the end of the year:
"We Are One" is a multimedia exhibition curated by Port Gamble S’Klallam artist Brian Perry,
featuring works by four artists from the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe and Lummi Nation.
"Ruby Woods" is a collection of colorful, whimsical, nature-themed paintings by Frank
Samuelson, an artist who has been based in Port Townsend for decades.
"Journey Stories" is comprised of posters provided by the Smithsonian Institution,
complemented by items from our collections, exploring how movement has shaped the nation,
taking a broad look at American expansion and migration (and displacement).
The Holiday Extravaganza will be promoted via our website, digital communications, and printed
fliers, with additional promotional support from KPTZ.
If this event has received Arts Commission funding in the past, please explain any proposed
changes to the event and any change in the requested funding amount. The Holiday Extravaganza
event has not received Arts Commission funding.

Describe how your project will benefit and consider the diverse population of the greater Port
Townsend community:
Key City Public Theatre (KCPT) will offer Free Student Tickets and dedicated Family
Performances of their 2023 holiday production, WHAT THE DICKENS?! This world premiere play
features the work of local award-winning playwright Doug Givens whose new script is
commissioned by KCPT, and currently in development, with 20 performances scheduled from Nov
30 – Dec 23, 2023. The project also features the work of 18 performing artists, technicians, and
artisans including local BIPOC and LGBTQI artists in featured and leadership roles/positions. The
play promises a holiday adventure in which Ebeneezer Scrooge meets Sherlock Holmes with
music, comedy, and spectacle delivering a joyful theatrical experience for audiences. This is an
opportunity for students and families across Jefferson County to build a holiday theater-going
tradition in an atmosphere appropriate for children of all ages and their families. Offering free
student tickets as well as discounted prices for family-attendees, including an option for children
sitting on an adult’s lap, KCPT's goal is to reduce barriers to participation for families who may
hesitate to attend the theater with young children due to ticket prices or the often-quiet
environment required of a live audience. Family Performances, are designed to allow for young
people to respond to live theater in their own unique and often highly verbal ways and include
additional activities such as post-show photo opportunities with characters from the play, and
complimentary treats for children. Attracting students and families, locally, county-wide, and from
throughout the region is imperative to the growth and dynamic of its audience, as KCPT continues
to foster art that educates, entertains, and inspires our diverse community.
While a wide cross-section from our community can benefit from KCPT and its body of work, this
proposal focuses specifically on families with children. Residents who may otherwise not have
been able to attend can come together with family as an audience to enhance the performing arts
experience of the community. The accessibility made possible through Free Student Tickets and
Family Performances allows KCPT and Port Townsend Arts Commission to fulfill their mission to
educate and engage our community through intergenerational participation in the arts.
Explain how the City’s funding will support the project. If the project can still be done without City
funding, show how the requested funds will improve the project:
Revenues from ticket sales of all KCPT productions are used to settle the cost of production and
programmatic expenses. At present, ticket sales and other earned income contribute 55% of
annual operational income. Donations from individuals, businesses, sponsors, and
foundation/government grants off-set the short fall between total operational expenses and
production/program revenue. Free Student Tickets and Family Performances significantly reduce
potential earned revenue in KCPT's theater that regularly plays to sold-out houses. City funding
will be applied to both the promotional expenses for marketing these free and discounted tickets,
as well as to offset the revenue loss to provide increased accessibility to the performing arts for
families and children who otherwise have limited access to these experiences. Funding from
PTAC will directly increase the number of free student tickets KCPT will be able to make available
to area students as well as the number of dedicated family-priced performances offered. The goal
is to make a minimum of 300 tickets available to Jefferson County students at no cost and to
offer a minimum of two Family Performances that will encourage families to attend with their
students as well as increase accessibility for families visiting Port Townsend. If this proposal is
partially funded, the projected number of students and families served may be reduced, but
access to the arts will still be increased over the amount of currently funded reduced price/free
tickets. KCPT perpetually endeavors to find additional funding sources to reach or exceed our
access goals for this program.
Explain how the project will either target Port Townsend/East Jefferson residents or, if the event
is designed to bring in visitors from the area, how you will advertise to those visitors:
Promotions for this production began on the KCPT website in mid-summer. Print ads and publicity
materials, local and regional radio spots, and television promotions are scheduled for
November/December. Print ads to specifically promote Family Nights are planned throughout late
November and early December. Flyers announcing Free Student Tickets, Family Nights, and Pay
What You Wish Performances will be distributed to all Jefferson County school districts and
Home School Connections students/families via hard copy and/or school’s electronic distribution
systems. Casting of several local students in the show from County school districts as well as
two of KCPT’s professional teaching artists who regularly work within our local schools will also
add to the outreach to students and their families. A number of Jefferson County school groups
are also being scheduled to attend performances.
If this event has received Arts Commission funding in the past, please explain any proposed
changes to the event and any change in the requested funding amount.
KCPT launched its Family Performances program in 2009 and received a grant of less than $500
from PTAC for the pilot program. Since that time KCPT has consistently renewed, broadened, and
honed its policies and programs to promote accessibility for students and families. The holiday
show offerings have become a traditional avenue for increased awareness and accessibility for
students to both participate onstage and as audience thanks to these efforts. Most recently,
PTAC supported this initiative in 2022 with a grant of $3666, improving access for 366 students
and family members and another 152 patrons who attended with Pay What You Wish pricing. This
year, KCPT has provided more advance planning for schools to schedule groups, added an
American Sign Language interpreted performance with Pay What You Wish seating option, and
has increased the total number of Pay What You Wish seats throughout the performance run to
accommodate families who may not be able to attend on the designated family show
performance dates: KCPT now offers one fully Pay What You Wish Performance as well as 10
designated Pay What You Wish Seats at every general audience performance, a 45% increase in
availability of accessible pricing over last year. Various funders including individuals, businesses,
and foundations have contributed to the programs’ success for more than a decade. We would
welcome the return of PTAC to the funding pool that helps bring our area students into the world
of live theater.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OFPROJECT
(If pertinent, compare the outcome with your own expectations):
With support from the Port Townsend Arts Commission, the Port Townsend Farmers
Market hosted 31 free concerts on Saturdays April through October. Live music added
to the vibrancy of the farmers market with shoppers stopping to enjoy tunes and lunch,
visit with neighbors, sing along, and dance at the market. We expected to see the
farmersmarketbecome more festive resulting in longer shopper visits, increased sales,
and community enjoyment. All these things happened!
ATTENDANCE DATA
(Include comparison with previous events/projects) :
Thisyear the Port Townsend FarmersMarket (PTFM) reached 869 to 3540 shoppers
each market day. These attendance numbers mark an increase from last year where
our highest attendance day brought 2,500 shoppers.
SUMMARY OF EXPENSES
(such categories as materials, royalties, technical production, location rental, professional services, publicity) :
We spent the Port Townsend Arts Commission grant funds on stipends paid to local
and visiting musicians. With the addition of local business sponsorship funds, we paid
musicians $200 per market day. Grant funds allowed us to compensate musicians for
their time and attract high-quality acts to the Market.
SUMMARY OF REVENUES
(sales, door receipts, awards etc.) :
All music at the Port Townsend FarmersMarketis offered free of charge to the public
every market day April-October. The Jefferson County Farmers Markets (JCFM) did
not directly earn any revenue from hosting music. However, 80+ participating market
businesses generated sales in part from the lively market environment.
COMMENTS
Your grant support rippled out to benefit local small businesses, musicians, and the
JCFM. Thank you so much for your support of free, weekly live music at the PTFM.
The Market music has a truly positive impact on our work and community supporting
people of all ages in accessing local art and creating an environment that supports
small business sales. Thank you!
