We offer painting classes for both adults and children and their families. During 2025, CCE enrolled approximately 574 adult students. This included 88 scholarships (full or partial) and work trades for either health and/or financial reasons. Of those 574 adults, over 100 people participated via Online ZOOM classes, with many residing outside of California. In 2025 we also had a few students drop in online from Europe. CCE offered three weekly classes for adults throughout the year, and monthly introductory and daylong workshops. All classes were offered at a sliding scale, with the Introductory workshops offered at reduced fee to encourage members of the community to participate. CCEs Committed to the Core program, which was introduced in 2024 and had 12 people, grew to 16 people in 2025. They each committed to attending three 5-day intensives, and monthly meetings for 9 months of the year. We will expand this program in 2026 to include three 7-day intensives. We had already enrolled 17 people by the end of 2025.Additionally, the Kids and Family program served 285 kids and 95 parents throughout the year, with monthly Family Days, and several 8-week sessions of Childrens classes. We are adding new teachers, hired for trade, and expanding this program as well.CCE offered two residential weekend retreats to 35 adults. This included several scholarships and people who attended on work trade.In February of 2025, we held a 25th Anniversary Fundraiser. This even drew over 150 people in person, visiting the studio, and over 30 people attending the event online. Many people from the community attended, being introduced to CCE for the first time.As part of our community outreach, we held a free online introduction to intuitive painting event in mid-December, drawing 42 people from the US and Europe.And finally, as part of our extended outreach to other parts of the community, we collaborated with the Zen Center in Green Gulch to offer a residential painting retreat; and will offer that again in 2026. We worked with TECA (Thomas Edison Charter Academy) to offer a workshop for professional development for counselors and intuitive painting workshops for their 6th graders. 147437 147437 Claudia Erzinger Executive Dir. 40.00 62500 Alyssa Cox President 5.00 3968 Janet White Treasurer 5.00 0 Audrey Ren Secretary 5.00 0 Megan Chan Vice President 5.00 5675 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false CA Claudia Erzinger 300 Chenery Street San Francisco CA 94131 4153339515 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 17880 20088 22027 19656 36387 116038 88872 89168 85389 114018 126676 504123 0 0 0 106752 109256 107416 133674 163063 620161 0 0 620161 8100 8100 0 8100 8100 0 0 114852 109256 107416 133674 163063 628261 0.98710 0.98560 0.01290 0.01440 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Other Revenue.1 Rebates And Redemptions $250 Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $1596 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $7616 Other Expenses.1003 Information Technology $588 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $1683 Other Expenses.1 Studio Supplies $8222 Other Expenses.2 Training & Education $3000 Other Expenses.3 Dues and other charges $434 Total Liabilities.1001 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Beginning $644 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Ending $2472 Total Liabilities.1003 Deferred Revenue - Beginning $0 Deferred Revenue - Ending $39822
