There were 7 openings and 9 programs and workshops, and 2 school tours. The 10th Anniversary celebration was one of the year's highlights. Additionally, 88 artists were featured, 1,200 visits, and 18 complimentary memberships provided to low income individuals. Due to a shortage of staff, including both the President of the Board and Executive Director stepping down, we inadvertently filed the request for an automatic extension after the due date of May 15, 2024. However, we want to file this 999EZ as soon as possible so we have made it a priority to complete, review and file it. This is the first time in over 10 years that this has happened and we'll be certain it doesn't happen again.
