Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

CLASSES: WE OFFER A RANGE OF CLASSES IN LETTERPRESS, BOOK ARTS, PRINTMAKING, BOOKBINDING, PHOTOGRAPHY AND PAPER ARTS. IN 2022, DESPITE SUFFERING A FIRE THAT DISPLACED US FROM OUR MAIN BUILDING FROM MID-JUNE TILL LATE NOVEMBER, WE WERE ABLE TO PIVOT TO OFFERING LARGER SCALE LOW-COST AND FREE EVENTS (AND TAILORED EXPERIENCES FOR GROUPS) AT A VARIETY OF LOCATIONS. IN THIS WAY, FBAC WAS ABLE TO SERVE OVER 800 CUSTOMERS, PRIMARILY IN THE WESTERN MARYLAND AREA.


OUTREACH: FBAC HAS SEVERAL VENTURES THAT FALL UNDER OUTREACH INCLUDING SCHOOL VISITS, HOSTING LOCAL EVENTS, FIRST SATURDAYS, ARTISTS TALKS, AND SHOWS. WE ALSO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR CLASSES FOR THE ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED THROUGH A NEW TRIAL PROGRAM. OUR CORNERSTONE NEW PROGRAM IS GRASSHOPPER PRINT SHOP, IN WHICH AT-RISK TEENS ARE BROUGHT IN IN SMALL GROUPS (3-5) FOR A 12-WEEK PROGRAM FOCUSING ON TEAMBUILDING AND SOCIAL ENTERPRISE AS ARTS EMPOWERMENT. MID-2022 WAS THE FIRST START OF THIS PROGRAM IN OUR SILKSCREEN STUDIO (A SMALLER, SECONDARY LOCATION) AND PROVED TO BE VERY SUCCESSFUL, WORKING WITH TEENS FROM LUCAS VILLAGE AND THE PHOENIX RECOVERY ACADEMY.


RENTAL EQUIPMENT: FBAC HAS A FULL BOOK BINDERY IN OPERATION, A LETTERPRESS AREA, PRINTMAKING EQUIPMENT AND OTHER RESOURCES - WHICH WE OFFER FOR RENTAL TO THE PUBLIC. ASSISTANCE AND TRAINING IS OFFERED BY STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON THE USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT THROUGH A RENTAL PROGRAM, TO ENSURE SAFETY. THIS SERVICE IS TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO NECESSARY TOOLS FOR ARTISTS AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO CARRY OUT PROJECTS, WHICH THEY WOULD NOT OTHERWISE HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO WITHOUT OUR EQUIPMENT.
