Overview

Mission

We are a local non-profit arts org that puts on a self-funded three-day outdoor art fair with artists in action, free children's activities and live music. We initiated a scholarship fund to encourage 3 graduating high school seniors to continue their arts education. We also produced a Holiday Artists Market.

What it reported doing in 2025

We are a 110 member arts non-profit that runs a yearly three-day outdoor art fair and holiday market as well as funding scholarships for high school graduates. Our programs are self-funded. All income is contributed by our members and participants in our events.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 91% 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.
