Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (2)
- $2,894 spent. 2025 Art Show & Anniversary Celebration--the organization hosted its Annual Art Show as a public-facing cultural program highlighting local artists and engaging the broader community. The event featured a curated exhibition, live programming (including a panel discussion and music), and opportunities for artists to showcase and sell their work. Community members attended the event, generating program revenue and increasing visibility for participating artists. The program was supported through individual donations, sponsorships, and ticket sales, and was implemented with modest program expenses for supplies, venue-related costs, and artist support. Overall, the event advanced the organizations mission by providing accessible arts programming, supporting local creatives, and fostering community engagement.
- $11,480 spent. Artist Residency Program & Culminating Exhibit (2025) In 2025, the organization operated a second year of its Artist Residency Program, providing direct financial and programmatic support to participating artists. Program expenditures were allocated primarily toward rent for the studio and the cost for the culminating exhibit, which ensured artists received resources to develop new work. The residency culminated in a public exhibition showcasing the work produced during the program, offering artists professional exposure and opportunities to engage with the community and enriching the public through access to new, locally produced artwork. The program was executed efficiently, with the majority of funds directed toward program services and a minimal net surplus.
