Overview
Mission
The Rosemount Area Arts Council (RAAC) promotes the visual arts in several ways.
What it reported doing in 2025
We also offer plays which we usually charge for. ArtBlast does offer a class for children to be in a play and they put this play on for their parents and anyone who wants to attend. Our regular plays include 3 to 4 plays a year. Attendance was about 1648 in 2025 for these plays. Some of these plays are SAP plays and some are FPP. We are excited as we hope to do Our Town in 2026 and this would be a FPP. We pay for the directors, audio and light technician but the actual actors and actresses volunteer their time. Our Town might be a little different and we might need to pay the lead players in this play. Our purpose is to encourage people to learn about plays, enjoy watching them, and possibly volunteering to be in them. The summer play is usually the only one that includes children as practice for plays is usually in the evening and this might interfere with school or bedtime.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 73% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
