Overview

Mission

Support visual & performing arts activities in the community.

What it reported doing in 2024

During our third season we presented 41 diverse performances of music, public speakers, and theater plus a free-to-the-public art gallery and hosted 143 other events and performances including dance culturally specific music and other genres from mostly nonprofit local presenters.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 69% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and a relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
