We are dedicated to developing and supporting robust creative arts programming in the city of Bridgeport, Connecticut, with a focus on two areas: career path development via music technology education for city youth, and increased access to the performing arts for all city residents. Our music technology education program serves middle- and high school-aged youth to learn about the wonderful world of live music production, giving students the unique opportunity to engage with state-of-the-art technology, practice new skills, and exercise the creativity necessary to work in the industry. We also aim to open up a pathway to potential careers in an industry that is frequently underrepresented by marginalized individuals, including for people of color and women. Through collaboration and experiential learning opportunities, we aim to foster a warm, welcoming environment where students can express themselves creatively, contribute their talents and perspectives, and feel a sense of belonging. During our FY23 pilot music tech education program, we served 34 Bridgeport pre-teens and teenage students in an after-school program in the summer and fall seasons. In FY24, we are again providing after-school programming for local middle school students, this time in the spring and fall, and adding a more robust summer program, for approximately 60 students total. We also successfully hosted a one-day music tech ed exploratory event for local high school students, where we engaged 10 students. All told, we are expecting to engage 70 students through our music tech education program by the end of 2024. Our main program dedicated to increasing access to the performing arts for city residents this year is through Black Rock's PorchFest, a free summer music festival where 50+ bands play from residents' properties throughout the neighborhood of Black Rock in Bridgeport. It will be the 8th year of this annual event, the first that it will fully be planned and executed by Park City Presents. 0 33931 33931 John Torres Board Chair 2.5 0 0 0 Razul Branch Board Member 0.5 0 Lisa Crossley Newton Secretary 0.5 0 Amy Desel Board Member 0.5 0 Peter Katz Board Member 0.50 0 Debbi OKeefe Board Member 0.50 0 Rocky Progano II Treasurer 0.5 0 Scott Renzulli Board Member 0.5 0 Matt Smith Board Member 0.5 0 Brandon Clark Part Time Executive Director 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CT Miriam Lasar 2926 Fairfield Avenue Bridgeport CT 06605 7035086334 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 36242 36242 31197 31197 0 0 0 0 67439 67439 67439 0 0 0 0 67439 67439 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 event expenses
