Overview
Mission
Brewer harris projects is a dynamic platform for showcasing and supporting contemporary local, national and international artists, with a central focus on amplifying bipoc, lgbtq+, and women artists, providing a gallery and artist project space rich in dialogue and inspiration. In addition to our exhibitions, our robust programming and community events create opportunities where art lovers and the general public can engage with artists, enhancing the cultural landscape and artistic enrichment of syracuse, central New York and beyond. Founded in 2024, the gallery is named in honor of the matriarchs in miesha shihs family, all of whom lived creatively and abundantly.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
