Overview
Mission
OpenArt uses arts education to lessen community tensions and eliminate prejudice and discrimination. By creating arts-integrated tools and experiences, the organization seeks to benefit individuals, organizations, and communities at the point of their need, including, but not limited to, economic, civic, commercial, cultural, personal, industrial, and educational needs.
What it reported doing in 2025
Group and Individual classes and organizational workshops in the Alexander Technique, Dart Procedures, and Applied Theatre practices for the purpose of reducing tensions - approximately 175 people
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 73% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 77% for direct work, and 23% for grants.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
