Overview

Mission

Art feeds exists to mobilize creative healing and encourage creative development in children. We are a mobile arts center and community of individuals dedicated to the growth and healing of children through art. Art feeds is based out of northwest Arkansas and conducts mobile programs with schools and after school programs on a consistent basis with elementary students who have undergone trauma and overcome obstacles. The programs use therapeutic art and creative education that comes free of cost to the participating students and schools.

What it reported doing in 2024

These expenses were incurred when providing weekly therapeutic art and creative education programs to approximately 2,000 children in northwest Arkansas. Art feeds provides students in the program with an art pack containing all the basic materials needed for creation (glue, scissors, a sketchbook, watercolors, pens, pencils, markers, crayons, and colored pencils). Art feeds also provides material specific to each weekly lesson; students may be dancing, drawing, sculpting, or acting and art feeds is prepared with additional materials. This expense category also contains travel, volunteer, community outreach, and other expenses that relate directly to providing therapeutic art and creative education to the students in art feeds' programs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 76% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
