Overview

Mission

Our vision is to champion a robust arts community in southwest Washington. Our mission is to be a catalyst for building out the arts infrastructure in the region with the objective of creating a cohesive and united arts community.

What it reported doing in 2024

CREATIVE RELIEF CLARK COUNTY is a program of Artstra, providing arts supplies, project ideas, and instruction to communities with limited access to the tools of creativity. Creative Relief gives people the rewarding and healing experience of creating with their own hands. Whether drawing, painting or writing, this program offers a bit of relief for both adults and children from the stress and difficulty they may be experiencing. The program events, often in unison with other organizations and partners (private and civic), encourage a positive interaction with others while providing a creative outlet from daily challenges. Art supplies are often unavailable to those in need, Creative Relief offers opportunities might not otherwise be available. FY 24-25 saw three different events serving about 1,115 youths, adults and seniors with partners including The City of Vancouver, WA and the Ashby Family Center.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% 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.
