Art Project Progress Tracker

Central operating page for the Dallas commission-free pop-up art fair concept modeled on Umbrella Art Fair.

This HQ is for one thing: show what is already prepared, what is blocked on owner action, and what the team can move right now.

Current status
Planning + packet prep

Progress hub created. Next leverage is execution assets: pitch deck, grant pack, venue list, and filing tracker.

Done / prepared
  • Concept framed around a commission-free artist-first fair.
  • Dallas opportunity identified: placemaking, high vacancy, grants, sponsor potential.
  • Roadmap drafted across legal, funding, venue, operations, and launch.
  • Registered-agent assumption updated in packet:
    Joshua Fathi
    4653 Nall Rd, Suite 33, Farmers Branch, TX
Waiting on owner
  • Final legal entity name.
  • Optional third director decision.
  • Final filing signatures.
  • Decision: fiscal sponsor first vs direct nonprofit filing first.
  • Approval to send outreach once materials are ready.
Critical blockers
  • Nonprofit packet cannot be finalized without name/signatures.
  • Funding path is weaker until legal structure is confirmed.
  • Venue and sponsor outreach improve materially once pitch assets are locked.
