In 2023 the National Endowment for the Arts awarded us an "Our Town" grant to help finance a project to capture a moment in time in Freeport, ME and in 2024 we accomplished the program. Our Town: A Community Self Portrait brought our community together to create a documentary snapshot of a moment in time in Freeport, photographing and writing about the people, places and activities that make our home town special. These visual and written stories were exhibited primarily at Meetinghouse Arts Gallery and Freeport Historical Society, where local citizens excitedly identified friends, neighbors, and places that have helped define their lives. The images, poems, essays, and musings have since graced the walls at Freeport Town Hall and are now hung in the Augusta State Capitol by the Maine Arts Commission. They'll move to other locations throughout town in the Fall and eventually be archived by the Freeport Historical Society. Community discussions of the project were convened at Meetinghouse Arts. 38000 55000 Helping to fulfill our mission, we enhanced the Gallery side of Meetinghouse Arts to support and promote artists of all backgrounds and ages. The youth show featured over 40 school aged artists for two weeks showing their works. We featured a combined show for artists with various challenges alongside our member artists. And we support the local artist community with nearly 100 members regularly participating. 215227 10000 116835 Meetinghouse Arts offers a variety of theatrical genres and culturally diverse performances and exhibits for both local and regional artists. These include classical musicians, jazz musicians, dance, mime, spoken word artists, and improv comedy teams. We collaborated with other not-for-profit organizations to bring engaging lectures to our stage as well as musical performances. In 2024 we hosted over 40 performances with more than 4,000 audience members in total. 0 0 0 298227 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 35 0 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 X 13 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X Scott Miller 2078441166 40 Main Street Freeport ME 04032 Suzanne Watson Executive Director 40 0 X 50000 0 0 Scott Miller Treasurer 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Kate Werner Vice President 10 0 X X 0 0 0 Lynn Shaffer President 20 0 X X 0 0 0 Randy Mraz Secretary 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Jamie Peloquin Director 10 0 X 0 0 0 Josie Gideon Director 5 0 X 0 0 0 Shari Broder Director 5 0 X 0 0 0 Sara Helman Director 5 0 X 0 0 0 Paige O'Donnell Director 5 0 X 0 0 0 Marcia Feller Director 5 0 X 0 0 0 50000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5910 0 0 56432 94504 0 156846 Performance Events 711310 33342 33342 0 0 Gallery Sales and Workshops 459920 53493 53493 0 0 30000 30000 0 0 116835 4042 4042 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 277723 120877 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 50000 42500 5000 2500 0 0 0 0 49400 41990 4940 2470 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7604 6464 760 380 5838 0 5838 0 3019 2567 302 150 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1276 1276 9238 6646 2592 8080 6987 729 364 0 0 0 0 32452 27584 3245 1623 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 57209 57209 0 0 15375 13370 1337 668 Fees to Performers 58910 58910 0 0 Commissions to Artists 29314 29314 0 0 Credit card Fees 1990 1990 0 0 Memberships and Licenses 1420 1420 0 0 331125 298227 22151 10747 53658 48744 70998 179444 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 705578 210055 537984 495523 0 0 0 0 0 662640 723711 959 1457 0 113975 0 0 0 0 0 0 959 115432 X 0 0 0 0 661681 608279 661681 608279 662640 723711 -53402 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 512186 280406 211271 136447 156846 1297156 26527 43345 96352 130070 116835 413129 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 538713 323751 307623 266517 273681 1710285 0 0 108960 30000 57500 196460 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 108960 30000 57500 196460 1513825 798 288 2 2708 4042 7838 0 0 0 0 0 0 798 288 2 2708 4042 7838 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 539511 324039 307625 269225 277723 1718123 0.88109 0.90619 0.00456 0.00281 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 589666 0 161459 428207 99300 0 46310 52990 16612 0 2286 14326 495523 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b A draft version of the 990 is presented to the board, questions are addressed and a final draft reviewed, the board approves the draft before it is submitted.
