Overview
Mission
Our goal is to foster creation and appreciation of three dimensional art. We are a 501(c)(3) non profit organization created to provide a place for 3-Dimensional artists to create their art and develop their careers; to foster appreciation for the arts in the community; to foster cultural awareness, creativity and positive self esteem with outreach programs. We provide a place to see exhibitions and artists demonstrations, attend lectures, tour working artist's studio spaces, and take workshops. For 3D artists of all skill levels we provide a well-equipped studio and space to create work, a showroom to share it with the community, workshops and a mentoring program so they can broaden their skills, and a gathering place for shared values, ideas, support, and friendship. We are also a location for community activities and events.
What it reported doing in 2025

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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 assets have declined or grown slowly.
