DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED USE OF THE GRANT FUNDS:
During 2020 and early 2021 the Museum hired a professional firm to revamp and improve our
internet media presence, Now, we need to train our volunteers and staff to provide the best, most
inclusive, and most interesting information to appear on all of out sites—website, appropriate
social media, connections with other relevant art and travel sites, etc. We expect that this will
cost in volunteer class time and paid staff hours in amounts depending on how fast we learn, andhowmuchoutsidetrainingweneedtopayfor.
We are determined to become an attractive and informative presence on line, and to represent
both the Museum and the Carmel Arts and Design District as a modern, welcoming, interesting, and informative place to visit!
Any grant funds that aren't needed for the media training will be used to improve the outside
appearance of the Museum building. We have been given a 15' strip of land adjacent to the
current building which has wonderful possibilities for use as a garden, outside seating area, etc. to improve the appearance and usefulness of the new space.
But FIRST, the presentation of the Museum to the younger, wider audience in the public byelectronicuse!

In May of 2021 the Museum hired Crossroadsscx out of Chicago to revamp all of
our electronic media. They are still under contract with us, although nearly all of
their work is done, and most of what happens now is advice and questions. So far,
we have spent, I think, between $5000 and $5500 of the Carmel Arts grant (of
6500) on that part of the project. Otherwise, the rest of the grant has contributed
to the salary of our newest employee who is in charge of the internal posting of
media content. It's still a work in progress, but we are becoming proud of our new,
more current, more friendly presence on line! Our aim was (and is) to represent
The Museum and Cannel as an upcoming, modern, friendly -to -all place to be!
