The Frame Budget

This number comes from exhibitor fees to fund 13 shows a year, $60 each. Cost covers shows on The Frame Gallery main floor and basement. Exhibitions are typically one week long. The annual grant show is 4 weeks long. Basement shows (Frame(B)) can be separate from shows on the main floor. This depends on student interest and quantity of work, which we are not always able to predict.

29.5% to cover paint for upkeep. 32% to cover misc supplies 38.5% to cover grant.

$25 for advertising for each event (about 400-600 copies of flyers). (13 shows a year). Money goes towards flyers and postcards sent out to faculty and other members of the art community in Pittsburgh through connections in The School of Art

Use the student activities copier. It is $.40/page for color.

These funds are specifically for publicity of the gallery itself. For business cards and pamphlets to be held at the UC info desk and in The School of Art office.

The JFC will fund $100 for general org promotion each year.

Our capital expense fund for purchasing vinyl stickers that would advertise our weekly hours, as well as stickers that would run along the base of the windows with our name and logo. All stickers to be placed on gallery windows.

For paint for purposes of keeping the gallery in shape after deinstallation and installation of shows. Walls tend to get holes and scrapes that need to be constantly repaired. The basement, our new project, requires constant upkeep of paint because the entire room is painted white (floors, walls, doors.)

For miscellaneous repairs and general upkeep of our equipment. Something always breaks during installing and deinstalling shows, it is bound to happen. Funds intended for our equipment such as power tools, lights, electronics, as well as elements of the space itself. Maintenance of the gallery is The Frame's biggest challenge, due to the old and run down space we are currently located. Maintaining a well-kept gallery is what will lead to our success as a professional gallery.

The JFC does not like to fund for contigencies. If things break go to Student Senate for a special allocation. Alternatively, appeal with additional information.

For miscellaneous items typically used in a gallery such as fishing line, eye hooks, screws, nails, stucco, plaster, light bulbs, etc. All of these things are used up quickly, as most of these items are used when installing shows.

For painting the outside of the gallery, the doors and window frames in order to give the gallery more of a professional look. The current paint job is outdated and peeling off. A new paint job could give the gallery a professional feel in order for us to be taken as seriously as we intend to be as a student run gallery.

$300 *tradition* since the gallery was first open. Every spring semester, we have a 'grant exhibition' where a student is chosen from a submitted proposal and is rewarded $300.00 for an installation that 'transforms The Frame". Many students apply for this grant and look at this as an opportunity that could be beneficial for developing as young artists.
