Essex Art Center sees everyone as an artist, and we help artists and art lovers connect with their creativity. Each year, the Center reaches 10,000 individuals. Our arts education programs serve artists of all ages. We offer diverse studio courses, including ceramics, drawing, digital art, painting, animation, Risograph printing, and stained glass. We make learning accessible to everyone by providing affordable studio classes and workshops with special financial assistance to Lawrence residents, including 75% off for youth 18 years or younger and 30% off for adults. In addition, we hold public art and design entrepreneurship programs for teens and a work-mentorship program for high school and college students. Participants in our public art and design programs receive stipends for their work, as do students in our work-mentorship program. Essex Art Center's exhibition program sees art as a connector in our community and a platform for communication about issues that matter. Our galleries serve as a source of inspiration for our students and a teaching tool for our teachers. We are strategic in the artists we exhibit, working to amplify underrepresented voices and ensuring that the work is responsive to what's happening in the world and relevant to our community. Our exhibitions and their correlating programming are always free and open to the public.Essex Art Center's community outreach programs bring the creative experience beyond our walls. From off-site offerings in schools and community centers to special events, such as free figure drawing nights and art college admissions fairs, these programs put into practice our belief that art brings us together. Our summer block party, Fiesta en la calle!, brings together people of all ages to enjoy live music, dance performances, food, and artmaking. Throughout the year, our community outreach programs reach 3,000 individuals, with Fiesta en la calle!, connecting us with 2,000 residents from Greater Lawrence in just one day. 575275 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 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 1 49 0 11 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 MA X X X Monica Manoski 9786852343 56 Island Street Lawrence MA 01840 Anne Thiam Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Merylinda Santiago Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Paul Therkelsen Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Allison Rieke Development Chair 2.00 X 0 0 0 Caitlyn Aguiar Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Carlos Cedeno Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Milly Joseph Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Maria L Laboy Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jose Rodriguez Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Amy Bloom Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Monica Manoski Executive Director 40.00 X 88000 0 0 88000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 581057 581057 Tuition and community 611710 123145 123145 123145 11087 11087 715289 134232 0 0 X 318789 223152 63758 31879 1620 1134 324 162 28923 20246 5785 2892 2033 2033 17674 17674 115184 109261 5923 2569 2569 40647 28453 8129 4065 48184 33729 9637 4818 39558 19779 19779 8073 5651 2422 Office rent 58325 58325 Direct program expenses 54909 54909 Printing and publicatio 13174 11857 1317 Miscellaneous expenses 3316 3316 2894 2894 755872 575275 135464 45133 137594 224452 379638 135742 10000 155000 1250 11882 1504 1504 653987 387409 58140 266578 233272 283972 198602 166371 1020000 1245501 17414 14232 4289 36424 198602 166371 220305 217027 X 699695 838474 100000 190000 799695 1028474 1020000 1245501 -40583 57362 212000 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 354178 380861 602893 358472 572838 2269242 103828 151862 175074 194432 123145 748341 50447 37159 14076 14487 0 116169 508453 569882 792043 567391 695983 3133752 0 0 0 3133752 6058 7173 9077 10750 11087 44145 6058 7173 9077 10750 11087 44145 514511 577055 801120 578141 707070 3177897 0.98610 0.98630 0.01390 0.01370 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 575766 337046 238720 78221 50363 27858 266578 Right-of-use asset, net 166371 166371 Right-of-use lease obligation 166371 166371 X 814451 57362 41800 99162 715289 0 715289 797672 41800 41800 755872 0 755872 Part X, Line 2: THE CENTER IS NOT CURRENTLY UNDER EXAMINATION BY ANY TAXING JURISDICTION.
