Overview
Mission
To provide space for artists to work and to engage community through arts education, exhibitions of contemporary art, and cultural events.
What it reported doing in 2024
Arts education: agcc has a long history of integrating the arts into schools in the la harbor region. The core of agcc's education programming, artists-in-classrooms, places professional artists into local k-12 classrooms to provide high-quality, sequential arts education during the school day. This program brings arts education to over 3,000 students and teachers in high-need local schools annually. Additionally, agcc's arts + exploration field trips offers local students the opportunity to visit our gallery on a guided tour followed by an art workshop, serving over 1,100 local students each year. Our teen mural club provides youth, 13-22 years old, the opportunity to learn about and create public works of art on-site in angels gate park, while gaining critical life skills. The center values arts education at all ages and skill levels; through our on-site community classes program, we offer a wide range of adult art classes, taught on-site at the center by local artists. Our monthly family art workshop and artlab: science & art workshop are free and open to the public, providing multi-generational opportunities for families to engage in the creative process together.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
