Alchemy asked LTAC for $39,300 for 2027 marketing to grow off‑island attendance and $15,000 to professionalize the Lavender Festival at Alchemy’s Field Campus; presenters said the 2026 festival produced measurable vendor revenue and brought visitors to the island.

Marcy Montgomery presented ‘Eye of the Whale,’ an in-person arts, nature and wellness education program requesting roughly $32,700 to run 36 workshops, retreats and cultural-bridge events across the three main islands in 2027; presenters projected 1,500 total participants and regional marketing reach.
