South -East Overtown Park West Community Redevelopment Corporation 819 NW 2 Ave. Miami, Florida 33136 Subject: Funding Proposal for the 2023 Soul Basel Dear Mr. McQueen, We are writing to submit funding proposals on behalf of Dunns Josephine, Inc. for the 2023 Soul Basel in the Historic Overtown Neighborhood. We are aware of the Mission of the to enhance the quality of life of residents by expanding the tax base, creating job opportunities, promoting economic growth and fostering safe neighborhoods. We believe that our programming is specifically aligned with several of the goals and principles outlined in the 2018 Redevelopment Plan. Please find enclosed the following detailed proposal and budget. Sincerely, Metris Batts and Kristin Kitchen 1 Overview Historic Overtown is known for its vibrant arts, culture, and storied history. Today, Historic Overtown has become a cultural and art epicenter, particularly during the Soul Basel in Miami, Florida. The Dunns Josephine's proposed programs will run during Soul Basel Overtown in Overtown and the Art Basel Miami, the most significant art fair in the world. During this art season, Historic Overtown lives out the true meaning of being a cultural and art destination where creativity and artistic expression with artists, musicians, and exhibitions flourish in the neighborhood. The Dunns Josephine proposes to host five (5) events using various art forms, such as art exhibitions, music, education, and the visual arts, contributing to CRA's development plan and Soul Basel Overtown's cultural and intellectual awakening. The Dunns Josephine has become the neighborhood's cultural institution and plays an essential role in alignment with the CRA's development plan to provide Cultural Revitalization, Economic Growth, and Community Engagement. The Dunns Josephine art exhibitions will encourage community involvement and engagement, dialogues, and discussion on economic growth and cultural renewal that directly support SEOPW CRA's strategy to empower residents and stakeholders in the redevelopment process. Proposed Programs 1. The ART of BLACK ECONOMICS Out of the ASHES Exhibition: Depicts the success of black businesses thriving through the Jim Crow Era in Florida primarily and with other cities where massacres happened across the country during that time. Considering the national spotlight being placed on Florida and with the attempted erasure and distortion of black history in Florida, the world is looking. This exhibition runs from December 1- December 30, 2023- Highlighted for Basel with event based exhibitions Dec 4-7th 2023 2. Black Beauty as an Act of Resistance: This program is designed to educate the community and tourist about the significant contribution of the Sunlight School of Beauty to the empowerment of black women through our Miami from the 30s-70s. This cultural institution was one of the backbones that supported black economics and black women throughout the Jim Crow era. Black Beauty as an Act of Resistance will consist of exhibitions that display historic artifacts used in the school that promoted social and political change and in shaping the cultural, political and economic landscape for African Americans today. It will also consist of a 3 day collaboration with the Black Hair Experience, a national pop-up travelling art pop up exhibition from Dec 7th- Dec 10th 2023. The Black Hair Experience will also be in collaboration with Girl Power to bring young girls in Overtown to the Pop up in the backyard. The Black Beauty as an act of Resistance is an ongoing exhibition at the Dunns-Josephine. A Pop -Up Gallery will educate and honor the legendary women from the Sunlight School of Beauty and will highlight the Julius Family and D.A. Dorsey who gave the Sunlight School of Beauty the initial 500.00 needed to start the company. Discussion will be held with several women who were interviewed highlight their stories beauty salons and the businesses in our community during that time. 3. Harlem Renaissance Flash Mob and Photo Shoot is a true community event for local businesses and residents. The event host an energetic flash mob to reenact the Charleston dance, The Charleston is said to be based on the "Juba," a dance brought to Charleston by enslaved African Americans performed by dock workers in the early 1900's. This intergenerational physical 2 activity involving all ages and abilities will bring community residents tighter from all ages . ( Dec 3rd 2023) 4. Overtown Speakeasy Wednesday - The music scene is particularly important to revitalization of Historic Overtown in shaping the cultural landscape. Speakeasy Wednesday SOULBASEL NIGHT: Recreate the ambiance of the Harlem Renaissance with evenings of music, dancing, and mocktails and cocktails, creating a lively and immersive experience. "Speakeasy Wednesday" serves as both a cultural and community -building event, rekindling the spirit of the Harlem of the South". This aligns seamlessly with the Overtown CRA's 2018 redevelopment plan by preserving culture, revitalizing the arts, engaging the community and supporting local talent. (Dec 6th 2023) 5. Movie Night will be held on Dec lst 2023 and we will show John Singleton's movie" Rosewood "in preparation of the exhibition to the community. By offering a family -friendly entertainment option, the event contributes to the SEOPW CRA's objective of improving the overall well-being of Overtown's residents, especially families with children. Additionally, hosting such events in a hotel's backyard can stimulate economic activity in the area. It may attract tourists and visitors to Overtown, thus supporting local businesses and potentially creating job opportunities, which aligns with the SEOPW CRA's economic development initiatives. Furthermore, promoting family -friendly activities contributes to the SEOPW CRA's aim of creating a safe and inclusive environment for all residents, aligning with their commitment to community safety and well-being. In conclusion, hosting a movie night in the hotel's backyard for family -friendly movies aligns with the Overtown CRA's community development plan for 2018 by fostering community engagement, improving the quality of life, stimulating economic activity, and promoting a safe and inclusive environment in Overtown. Benefits and Impact: With the CRA's support, we anticipate several significant outcomes: • Enhanced Visibility: Effective promotional materials will raise awareness of our capabilities and attract event organizers seeking a unique and culturally rich venue. • Collaboration: Clear branding will facilitate partnerships with neighboring businesses, strengthening the local economic ecosystem. • Cultural Contribution: By hosting small special events, we contribute to the cultural vibrancy of the Overtown Neighborhood and attract visitors. • Economic Growth: Our efforts will further stimulate economic growth by drawing attendees to our hotel and encouraging them to explore local businesses. Throughout this proposal, Dunns Josephine Hotel aims is to create a year-round cultural hub that celebrates the history, art, and community of the Historic Overtown Neighborhood. We anticipate that these events and activities will foster connections, preserve heritage, and enrich the lives of residents and visitors alike. Evaluation and Success Measures: The evaluation process is designed in the spirit of community 3 empowerment and self -renewal. We plan to use the open -systems evaluation approach, the method which promotes monitoring of each program to maximize its anticipated results within the context of its contribution to the total effort. We will monitor the following: How many individuals attend? Observational reports of what went on (diary, video documentary, observation tools). Self -assessment by participants. Other assessments (, community resident feedback) Success measures reflecting Increased community engagement in events and activities; Positive feedback and testimonials from participants; Growth in the hotel's reputation as a cultural and social center; Measurable increase in foot traffic and local engagement Budgets Requests Budget for Art of Black Economics Exhibtion description category quantity unit cost Dunns CRA REQUEST Tents and table and chair rental (3 Days) Event 1 5,000.00 5,000 Digital Marketing Event 1 3,000.00 3,000 Print and Promotional Materials Event 1 2,200.00 2,200.00 Event Signage and Decor Event 1 500.00 500.00 photographer and videographer Event 3 500.00 500.00 Security per day Event 3 200.00 200.00 Sound and Lighting Event 1 1,800.00 1,800.00 Artist Installation- (includes stump Event removal and leveling of backyard in preparation of installing the tents and safe walkin: 10 1,000.00 10,000.00 Total Expense 24,600.00 12,800.00 11,800.00 BLACK BEAUTY POP UP EXHIBIT Expenses description category quantity unit cost amount Dunns CRA REQUEST Vintage Hair Dryer (purchase) Location 1 1,000.00 1,000.00 1,000.00 Vintage Shampoo Bowl (Purchase) Location 1 1,000.00 1,000.00 1,000.00 Digital Marketing 1 1,200.00 1,200.00 1,200.00 Printed Promotional Material Program 1 1,000.00 1,000.00 1,000.00 Videographer/ Photographer Program 2 500.00 1,000.00 1,000.00 1,000.00 Signage Location 1 500.00 500.00 500.00 Street Marker (2nd & 10th) Location 1 1,000.00 1,000.00 1,000.00 Guest Speaker 3 / Curator Program 3 500.00 1,500.00 Total Expenses 8,200.00 7,200.00 1,000.00 4 Flash Mob and Photo Shoot Expenses NO CRA SPONSORSHIP description category quantity unit cost amount Dunns CRA Request City if Miami/ MDC Permit Location 800.00 800.00 800.00 0 Dance Choreographer Event 1 700.00 700.00 700.00 0 Rehearsal and photo shoot Event 1 500.00 500.00 500.00 0 Mobile DJ (rental) Event 1 500.00 400.00 400.00 0 Props (rental) Event 1 400.00 400.00 400.00 0 Videographer and Event Photographer 2 500.00 1,000.00 1,000.00 0 Security Event 2 200.00 400.00 400.00 0 0 Total Expense 4,200.00 4,200.00 Speakeasy Expenses NO CRA SPONSORSHIP description category quantity unit cost Dunns CRA REQUEST Digital Marketing Event 1 200.00 200.00 0 photo station and 360 station rental Event 1 1,200.00 1,200.00 0 Live Entertainment Event 1 1,000.00 1,000.00 0 Souvenir glasses Event 1 800.00 800.00 0 Sound System and Rental Tech Event 1 500.00 500.00 0 Security Event 2 100.00 200.00 0 Total Expense 3,800.00 3,800.00 0 5 Movie Night Expenses description category quantity unit cost Dunns CRA REQUESTED Movie Screening Event Permission 1 400.00 400.00 Outdoor Movie Projector Event (Purchase) 1 479.00 479.00 14 ft Movie Screen Event (Purchase) 1 199.00 199.00 Popcorn Machine Event (purchase) 1 300.00 300.00 Promotional materials Event ( 1 200.00 200.00 200.00 Furniture rental Event 1 500.00 500.00 500.00 Total Expense 2078.00 700.00 1,378.00 Total Budget $50,078.00 Events Budget/Expense The ART of BLACK ECONOMICS Out of the ASHES 24,600.00 Black Beauty as an Act of Resistance 8,200.00 Harlem Renaissance Flash Mob and Photo Shoot 4,200.00 Speakeasy 3,800.00 Movie Night 2,078.00 Additional staffing for all events 7,200.00 Total Expenses for Soul Basel/ Art Week 50,078.00 Amount covered by the Dunns-Josephine, Inc. 35,900.00 Total Amount requested from the CRA 14,178.00 6 The Art of Black Economics !'IE AN/ OF IA, 11:k FUUN llllIfti bl'r OF %SUES ROSE Wn �1... n.,.n.�n,W..,,.. _.. _.. .Wr oI in Outdoor Movie Night Dec 1, 2023 harlem Rennaissance Flash mob Dunns Josephine Soul Basel Black Beauty as An Act of Resistance 7 Gateway Airport Concessions, Inc.

Hannon Clerk of the Board ART WITHOUT WALLS PRESENTS: INYL ST "CURATING A TAPESTRY OF ECLECTIC ART AND ARTISTIC EXPERIENCES" r... Art Without Walls (AWW) is an artisan initiative, proposing to collaborate with local communities, City of Miami organizations, and local artisans to co -create an interactive outdoor art gallery experience during "Soul Basel" week, which will feature eclectic mix mediums from aspiring high school youth and adult artisans. We've identified several community youth art enthusiasts, educators, entrepreneurs, and advocates to curate an experiential outdoor art gallery exhibit. This outdoor gallery will pay (H)omage to affluent artists, which influenced the genre of Hip Hop. The outdoor space will be transformed into a "Harlem Square Club" lounge, vinyl record displays, upcycled home decor, upcycled fashion, a Hip Hop time capsule, and futuristic vinyl covers of past, present, and future Hip Hop artists. Dr. S. Haynes, an entertainment manager for aspiring artisans, mental health psychopathologist, entrepreneur, art curator, educator, advocate, and confidence builder; will collaborate with AWW, as an artistic director/curator/sponsor. Dr. S. Haynes understands how culture, community and connectivity plays a pivotal part in how we express and process our emotions. Art and music have been key modalities in working with individuals who have experienced complex and vicarious traumas. Art and music are both universal languages shared and celebrated culturally, both mediums are used as holistic modalities to convey the essence of the world around us. Hence, many people use art as a tool to create new ideas, which can help others HEAL. On the other hand, others use art/music to focus on what inner change looks like and how we can implement change one STROKE at a time. Mr. M. Weeks, a venerated muralist and visual artist, will collaborate with AWW as an art consultant/curator for youth artisans, as well as assist with the selection process for displaying selected art pieces. Mr. Weeks will collaborate with local youth and arts organizations in the surrounding neighborhood to assist with telling a story of the city and people rich in creativity and history, as well as, it's influence on Hip Hop's PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE ARTISANS. Naomi Spencer, a local self-taught furniture artisan born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, FL. She will collaborate as an artistic director/coach, curator, and sponsor. Her love for rare and antique furniture is what motivated her to start a small business, Vintique Sole, in 2019. She found abandoned /vintage pieces that were meaningless to some, yet she found purpose to give it new life. She wanted to show people that "trash" can be transformed into timeless treasures. An artistic platform curated for high school youth (9th-12th) graders within the tri-county region of South Florida, who are eager to curate eclectic art, beyond their foundational education provided by their host schools. Through art coaching, youth artisans of "AWW" programs gain education, exposure, and self-confidence that will assist them in developing their artistic talents through eclectic art expression. "SOUL BASEL" Dec. 5-10, 2023; 1016 NW 3rd Ave. (Domino Park) ART WITHOUT WALLS (AWW) AWW is an artisan initiative specifically designed for young aspiring artisans, to explore and engage in curating mixed mediums of eclectic art expressions. Youth artisans will have an opportunity to enter their selected pieces into our showcase based on these criterion: * Must be a Miami Dade County Public Schools highschool student * Must be committed to completing the research phase (students will earn a grade and community service hours) for participation, *Must submit final pieces by the November 10, 2023 deadline *Must submit a written personal statement (150 words), stating how the art of storytelling has influenced their lives artistically. The art of storytelling is essential as an alternative to verbal communication. Many of our youth are struggling with expressing their feelings and dealing with internal and complex trauma. Hence, visual art can be an outlet that empowers them to use their voices ARTISTICALLY! Moreover, our artisan initiative provides a safe, non judgemental platform for artisans to freely express themselves artistically, emotionally, and mentally. This eclectic outdoor art exhibit is unique in itself. This is the first time using this venue space to curate an outdoor eclectic art experience. We're engaging local artisans from the community to showcase their talents on a larger platform, as well as curating this exhibit with local artisans from the community to help tell a story of our City, Culture, and Community. This outdoor experiential exhibit will engage local tourists and art enthusiasts to learn about our rich history in Historic Overtown. Haynes Harbour Group, Inc. Dr. S. Haynes, Exe.
