The 21st season of the Bitterroot Performing Arts Series presented six concerts in the 700-seat Hamilton Performing Arts Center. Our well-received holiday presentation of the Missoula Symphony Orchestra in our secondary venue in Victor, MT, was expanded to two performances this year. This event also gave the Bitterroot Community Band a rare opportunity to play publicly alongside the symphony orchestra. A sold-out special performance by the Irish group JigJam was also presented in the Victor venue. This performance was broadcast live by Montana Public Radio to its listening audience in all of western Montana. Finally, we presented our 3rd annual summer concert, outdoors on the grounds of the historic Daly Mansion, to approximately 800 patrons.We continued to create content for our Bitterroot Presents educational video library which features the work of both professional and local performing artists, along with demonstrating other aspects of performing arts production, with the goal of inspiring and educating students of all ages about the performing arts. The Bitterroot Presents video library is made available to local schools at no charge. In FY2025, two new videos were completed. Our annual Spring for the Arts auction in FY2025 featured art pieces created by five local high school students. This gave the students the opportunity to display their art to the community, and proceeds from auctioning their pieces helped fund scholarships awarded to local high school students by the Bitterroot Performing Arts Council. 405865 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false 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 true 5 0 true 4 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false true false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false false false X BYRON WILLIAMS 4063637946 127 W MAIN STREET HAMILTON MT 59840 LARRY MCCLOSKEY Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 21376 0 0 BEN WATTERS President 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KRISTINA BESSENYEY Vice President 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BYRON WILLIAMS Treasurer 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CHRIS PORTER Secretary 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 LAURA MERRILL Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STACIE DUCE Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEVE FULLERTON Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JENN ADAMS Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 AMY ARNOLD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SARAH ANZICK Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 21376 0 false false false 0 21066 183140 7000 204206 TICKET SALES 234576 234576 234576 8540 8540 0 0 0 0 32503 16041 16462 0 4281 4281 4281 MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE 390 390 390 468455 238857 8930 X 0 2250 2250 0 0 21376 7482 9619 4275 0 64955 64955 0 1407 1407 7790 6537 868 385 0 0 1189 1189 0 0 41 41 237038 237038 31553 30158 1395 0 5461 5461 0 25825 14382 10227 1216 16786 16060 726 0 0 0 0 0 5066 3073 1993 Printing and Publications 10545 10407 55 83 SUPPLIES 4955 1097 3673 185 FOOD 4071 4071 MUSIC LICENSES 2862 2862 17882 5493 11543 846 461052 405865 48197 6990 500 503 193102 196941 0 3020 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 525 1275 194127 201739 200 355 464 355 664 X 193772 201075 193772 201075 194127 201739 7403 -100 X false false false X 215239 100572 159398 172102 204206 851517 6206 123037 185178 219141 202073 735635 16649 36778 41125 37581 32503 164636 0 0 238094 260387 385701 428824 438782 1751788 9000 25616 18751 22000 75367 0 9000 25616 18751 22000 75367 1676421 8540 8540 0 8540 8540 0 21133 21133 238094 260387 385701 428824 468455 1781461 0.94100 1.00000 0.00480 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED CREDIT CARDS 464 464 false SFTA 32503 32503 1200 7142 2200 5499 32503 32503 1200 7142 2200 5499 16041 16462 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4 The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws were amended in May 2025 to change the corporate name from PERFORMING ARTS COMPANY, INC to Bitterroot Performing Arts Council, Inc.[The change became effective in fiscal year ending 5/31/2025.] Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Form 990 will be presented at a board meeting and approved prior to filing.
