Open Arts proudly pioneers therapeutic music and drama programs for senior citizens that use principles and practices of the performing arts to bring music and laughter to health-care facilities, assisted living communities and community centers, making theatre accessible for all, particularly those struggling with dementia, Alzheimer's disease or limited physical mobility. These programs are driven by suggestions and vision from the Leadership Councils. The Open Arts Alliance Leadership Council is composed of students in grades 8-12. Leaders are developed through the council with the aim of mentoring new and younger students in the organization, aiding in organizing tasks, program development, parent and student outreach, social media and philanthropic endeavors. In-school residencies are designed to be conducted in public and private schools for 6-8 weeks. Professional teaching artists teach 50-60 students in grades 3-5 and a full-scale musical is presented to the learning community at the end of the residency. Open Arts Alliance actively engages theatre arts professionals by offering financial and creative support to develop new projects. These programs impact over 4,500 community members each year. 270500 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 34 0 true 6 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true false true true false CT X X Rocco Natale 2039124880 299 Greenwich Avenue Greenwich CT 06830 Rocco Natale Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X X 3846 0 0 Kathy Walker Treasurer 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jennifer Dunn Secretary 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Autumn Howard Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kerry Gavin Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stephanie O'Donnell Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Elise Libow Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Emily Bryan Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Katie Taylor Breen Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ana Laborde Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Samantha Ethier Steele Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 3846 0 false false false 0 9185 95051 104236 Community Outreach 711110 11170 11170 Educational Programs 711110 216990 216990 Mainstage Musicals 711110 86684 86684 314844 16753 16753 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 435833 331597 0 0 0 0 3846 1923 1923 0 88791 61936 26855 0 0 7289 5467 1822 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3737 3044 693 11021 8266 2755 0 0 41263 37643 3620 2336 1937 399 0 0 0 0 0 6264 4698 1566 Program Expense 66537 66399 138 Independent Contractors 42110 40829 1281 Website expense 11131 8348 2783 Production rights 8001 8001 28572 22009 6563 320898 270500 50398 0 283458 112540 216372 478125 0 0 0 0 0 0 22575 33774 3606 3606 0 0 0 0 0 0 522405 624439 18306 6715 74684 73374 92990 80089 X 429415 544350 429415 544350 522405 624439 114935 X false false false X 76161 144492 78033 138949 104236 541871 31957 126820 213317 337571 314844 1024509 0 0 0 108118 271312 291350 476520 419080 1566380 0 63000 5000 68000 63000 5000 68000 1498380 10594 16753 27347 0 10594 16753 27347 0 0 108118 271312 291350 487114 435833 1593727 0.94020 0.93920 0.01720 0.01240 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3606 3606 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The form 990 is circulated at a board meeting each year.
