Across both sites, CAA offered 230+ classes annually in ceramics, painting, glass arts, drawing, photography, jewelry and metals, piano, guitar, dance, and youth arts. More than 3,500 students participated in these programs each year, representing diverse communities across Metro Phoenix. Participation grew, supported by targeted outreach such as CAAs BIPOC Arts Program, which expanded access for historically underrepresented artists and learners. CAA also operated a downtown community theater that hosted 150+ events annually, including dance, theater, music, film, and lecture programming. By providing low-cost, high-quality production space and partnering with 50+ nonprofit organizations, CAA reduced financial barriers to arts engagement and strengthened cultural equity in Phoenix. Mission-aligned events regularly received donated theater space and production support, increasing accessibility for community groups and emerging artists. Facilities & Capital Improvements (FY25): During FY25, CAA completed a major revitalization of the Third St Theater, funded through $1.194 million from the City of Phoenix General Obligation (GO) Bond Program. Improvements included a new LED house lighting plot, an updated professional sound system, a modern projection system, new stage curtains and drapery, new audience seating, a professional broadcast camera system, and a fully modernized technical booth. The Greenroom was fully renovated, and a new ADA lift was installed to ensure accessible stage entry for performers and guests. A new digital outdoor marquee was added on the high?visibility downtown corridor to increase exposure for community arts programming. More than 15 vendors and contractors contributed to this project. CAA also launched the Black Box at Third St Theater, transforming a previously unused storage space into an intimate, flexible venue with seating for approximately 75 guests, equipped with a full lighting plot and QSC sound system. The Black Box expanded opportunities for small theater companies, workshops, podcasts, comedy, and emerging performing artists. Expansion of Resident Organizations (FY25): Phoenix Center for the Arts expanded its resident nonprofit community with the following additions: Reflection Church, which held weekly Sunday services in the Theater and Black Box. School of Hip Hop (SOHH), which offered youth programs in music, dance, DJ skills, and creative arts. New Empire Entertainment, a Black?owned media production and photography collective. Grey Box Collective, which produced interdisciplinary, experimental work exploring social issues affecting college?age communities. These organizations strengthened the campus as a diverse, collaborative hub for creative expression and community engagement. Volunteer & Patron Services Impact: CAA engaged 35 volunteers during FY25. Volunteers supported special events, assisted Facilities with setup and logistics, and helped secure studios and classrooms for instructors and students. Patron Services increased on?site visibility, strengthened customer service support, and improved guest experience across both campuses. 1191108 true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false 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 50 0 true 18 true false false false false false true false false 0 false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false Mario L Aniles 4803004993 3033 N Central Ave Suite 615 Phoenix AZ 85012 X Angelique Kane Executive Director 40.00 0.00 18615 0 0 La Nise Hagan Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 James Cool Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jeff Nickoloff Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Robert Fields Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kaveri Gupta Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 18615 0 false false false 0 66612 423520 56913 547045 Contracted Services 611600 11722 11722 Facility Usage Fees 611600 151223 151223 Gift Shop/Concessions 611600 5343 5343 Tuition and Fees 611600 586488 586488 754776 12524 12524 0 0 0 0 66612 47828 -47828 -47828 0 0 0 1266517 12524 706948 X 12928 12928 0 0 0 41500 33200 6225 2075 0 337412 269929 50612 16871 0 15626 12501 2344 781 37358 29886 5604 1868 0 10151 10151 42700 23912 18788 0 12068 12068 1038 1038 590016 570565 3338 16113 39826 31861 5974 1991 36791 29432 5519 1840 0 0 90558 72446 13584 4528 3135 3135 0 1208 1208 21058 21058 0 3612 3612 23762 19010 3564 1188 Program Supplies 57180 57180 Dues and Subscriptions 17407 13926 2611 870 Bad Debts 4181 4181 0 1399515 1191108 148214 60193 31611 87347 30362 20422 0 107705 11177 0 0 0 0 4841 0 54187 38641 19159 15546 142294 108399 0 0 0 1 1 335973 242892 47266 58526 37954 61986 147366 151470 232586 271982 X 103387 -29090 103387 -29090 335973 242892 -132998 521 X false false false X 781947 331886 590910 480433 2185176 0 0 781947 331886 590910 480433 2185176 0 2185176 0 0 0 2185176 X 0.00000 3583 677 2906 50604 37964 12640 15546 X X X false AZ Arts Festival 66612 66612 47828 66612 66612 47828 47828 -47828 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The BOD will receive a copy of the 990 and will discuss in a regular meeting or executive session for approval prior to filing.
