Program accomplishments

  • Classes and workshops: Our classes offer an intimate, exceptional learning experience in an inspiring setting with locally and nationally recognized artists and educators and provide multi-faceted curriculum from novice to advanced levels. This extends maximum accessibility of programs that strive to develop the individual s artistic interests and abilities. In addition to our on-site programming, we offer a wide scope of educational opportunities for underserved communities throughout nearby counties. Our center s outreach efforts are targeted at reaching underserved children and adults by bringing high-quality arts education and artistic experiences to community centers and rehabilitation centers. Our outreach department fulfills our mission by hiring highly qualified art instructors, purchasing professional art supplies, and providing educational hands-on instruction for several longstanding programs.
    Expenses $178,534 · grants $48,486 · revenue $128,783
  • Sound Connections Music Therapy: We have been the leading non-profit arts organization that has made music therapy for children with special needs a priority in our surrounding areas. In 2006, we started a small pilot program, which has become a vital resource for children with varied disabilities. We have extended to a total of eight schools, which includes three Title I schools: Webster Elementary, Osceola Elementary, and First Coast Technical College (Pre-K Headstart Program). Due to a decrease in donors towards this program, our organization will be placing a haitus on SCMT services after 2024 for further fundraising efforts.
    Expenses $38,480 · grants $8,625
  • Market and Art Sales - We present artists work in our galleries with opening receptions or market them in our Gift Shop. During our exhibiting receptions, the artists are also available for one-on-one opportunities for questions and answers about their creative process. The galleries are free to attend for our community to support our local artists. Our artists receive 60% commission while the 40% goes towards the organization s mission to promote arts education.
