Purpose Of Funds
ICP seeks funding for its free Friday night book signings in its galleries in midtown, which happen once or twice a month during its weekly pay-what-you wish extended hours on Friday. The programs allow attendees to meet professional photographers and authors, as well as see the exhibitions on view. Last year, ICP hosted 15 book signings, with an average of 200 people participating at each event, at a cost to ICP of c. $869 per event. We seek to offer a similar level of service in FY 10. These programs, which are open to anyone who wishes to attend, draw a diverse audience from the surrounding Times Square/ Clinton neighborhood, including tourists; the NY Metro area; and national and international visitors.
