OUR DIVERSE PROGRAMMING INCLUDES THE MENTORSHIP PROGRAM, ARTIST IN RESIDENCE (AIR) PROGRAM, THE PRESS STUDIO, AND THREE EXHIBITION SPACES, MAIN GALLERY, PRESS GALLERY, AND THE HIVE. WE ALSO HOST TWO ANNUAL COMMUNITY EVENTS SUCH AS THE EXQUISITE CORPSE COSTUME BALL AND THE STEAMROLLER PRINT FESTIVAL. IN LATE SEPTEMBER OF 2023 ARTSPACE HAD AN EXTENSIVE TWO-DAY STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSION UNDER THE DIRECTION OF MARIA BIRKHEAD. THIS FIVE-YEAR PLAN WILL HELP US MOVE FORWARD WITH NEWLY DESIGNED PROGRAMMING THAT FOCUSES MORE ON EDUCATION AND LESS ON EXHIBITIONS. BY THE END OF 2025 WE WILL BE FULLY TRANSITIONED TO A LARGER SPACE, ALLOWING US TO EXPOSE OUR YOUTH TO MORE OPTIONS IN PROGRAMMING. THIS EXPANSION WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR MORE SCHOOLS AND STUDENTS TO ENTER OUR PROGRAM. OUR DISCUSSIONS AND PLAN COVER REVISITING OUR MISSION AND VISION STATEMENTS, GROW OUR BOARD TO ADD MORE DIVERSITY, AND COMPLETE OUR DASHBOARD. OTHER CHALLENGES ARE STAFF RETENTION, GRANT WRITING AND FUNDING. THIS YEAR WE SUBSCRIBED TO KINDFUL, A DONOR DATABASE AND ARE EAGERLY LEARNING IT APPLICATIONS. THE MENTORSHIP PROGRAM IS ONE OF ARTSPACE'S FLAGSHIP INITIATIVES, PROVIDING STUDENTS FROM OKLAHOMA CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS WITH ARTS EDUCATION BEYOND WHAT TRADITIONAL ACADEMIA OFFERS. EACH MONTH, STUDENTS SPEND AN ENTIRE DAY WORKING IN OUR STUDIOS IN AN INCUBATOR ENVIRONMENT WITH VISITING ARTISTS/MENTORS. IN 2023, WE EXPANDED THE PROGRAM TO INCLUDE TWO ADDITIONAL SCHOOLS, BRINGING THE TOTAL TO 14 SCHOOLS WITH 158 STUDENTS MONTHLY. WE PROVIDE LUNCH AS WELL AS AFTER-SCHOOL AND WEEKEND ACCESS TO OUR STUDIOS AT NO COST TO THE STUDENTS OR THEIR SCHOOLS. ADDITIONALLY, WE ORGANIZE FIELD TRIPS FOR EACH SCHOOL TO VISIT OTHER CREATIVE ART SPACES SUCH AS OKLAHOMA CONTEMPORARY, OKLAHOMA CITY MUSEUM OF ART, AND FACTORY OBSCURA. DURING THE SUMMER, ARTSPACE HOSTS A STOP-MOTION ANIMATION COURSE FOR INTERESTED MENTORSHIP STUDENTS, LED BY NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED ANIMATOR NICOLE EMMONS. THE FILMS CREATED BY OUR STUDENTS IN 2021, 2022, AND 2023 WERE ACCEPTED TO THE DEADCENTER FILM FESTIVAL RESPECTIVELY, AND ARTSPACE HAS OFFICIALLY PARTNERED WITH DEADCENTER AS A SUPPORT PARTNER.

SCHOOLS INCLUDED ARE: ASTEC HS CLASSEN SAS HS NORTHWEST CLASSEN HS HARDING HS SANTA FE SOUTH HS SOUTHEAST HS DOUGLAS HS EMMERSON NORTH HS MISSION ACADEMY HS PUTMAN HEIGHTS HS MOUNT ST. MARY HS STAR SPENCER HS BELLE ISLE MS ROOSEVELT MS THE ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM AT ARTSPACE WAS DESIGNED TO HOST FOUR LOCAL ARTISTS AND TWO TO FOUR NATIONAL/INTERNATIONAL VISITING ARTISTS ANNUALLY. THIS PROGRAM SERVES AS A PLATFORM FOR INTRODUCING NEW VOICES TO THE COMMUNITY, FACILITATING DIALOGUE AND THE EXCHANGE OF IDEAS TO THE BENEFIT OF BOTH OUR MENTORSHIP STUDENTS AND THE WIDER COMMUNITY. SINCE COVID WE HAVE SLOWLY REINSTATED THIS PROGRAM. ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE ARE REQUIRED TO CONDUCT A WORKSHOP, DELIVER AN ARTIST TALK, CREATE AN EDITIONED PRINT AND EXHIBIT THEIR WORK. IN 2023, OUR VISITING ARTIST IN RESIDENCE WAS ITALIAN ARTIST, RICCARDA DE ECCHER, WHILE OUR LOCAL ARTIST WAS LANETA GOING, A RETIRED TEACHER FROM ONE OF OUR PARTNERING MENTORSHIP SCHOOLS. IN 2023, WE CONTINUED TO ENHANCE OUR LIVING QUARTERS, ENABLING US IN THE FUTURE TO FULLY REINSTATE OUR ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM TO ITS CAPACITY. OUR PRESS STUDIO IS A VERSATILE PRINTMAKING FACILITY, OFFERING COMMUNITY ACCESS TO A RANGE OF EQUIPMENT SUCH AS INTAGLIO PRESSES, LITHOGRAPHY PRESSES, AND LETTERPRESSES, AMONG OTHERS. OUR FIBER STUDIO KEEPS GROWING AND HAS BROUGHT IN MORE ARTISTS. THIS YEAR, WE IMPLEMENTED AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH BY INTEGRATING OUR MENTORSHIP AND PRESS/FIBER PROGRAMS. INSTEAD OF CHARGING ARTISTS FOR FACILITY USE, WE ESTABLISHED A MENTORING PARTNERSHIP, ENCOURAGING ARTISTS TO GIVE BACK TO OUR MENTORSHIP STUDENTS. THIS CHANGE EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS, SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTING THE ARTISTS INVOLVED. THEY ENTHUSIASTICALLY EMBRACED THE NEW MODEL, RESULTING IN A DOUBLING OF OUR PARTICIPATING ARTIST POPULATION. 2417 THE HIVE: THE HIVE, OUR RETAIL SPACE, IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING RESTRUCTURED IN 2023 AND SLATED TO END IN 2024. IN THE PAST IT HAS SERVED AS A MUSEUM-STYLE BOUTIQUE GIFT SHOP FILLED WITH UNIQUE ARTFUL OBJECTS BY LOCAL CREATORS. MOVING FORWARD, ARTSPACE WILL UTILIZE THIS DESIGNATED GALLERY TO HOST FOUR INVITATIONAL EXHIBITS EACH YEAR, WITH A FOCUS ON CRAFT AS FINE ART. THIS EXPANSION OF OUR MISSION ALLOWS US TO SPOTLIGHT LOCAL ARTISANS AND SHARE THEIR WORK WITH THE PUBLIC. THE HIVE WILL BE OPEN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, OFFERING VISITORS A FRESH AND DYNAMIC SHOPPING EXPERIENCE WITH QUARTERLY EXHIBITS. 39051 true true false false false false false false false false true 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 21 0 3 true false false false false false false false false X 12 12 false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false OK X LAURA WARRINER 4058159995 1 NE 3RD ST OKLAHOMA CITY OK 73104 X DR BARBARA CRANDALL PAST PRESIDE 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DANIEL MATHIS VICE-PRESIDE 1.00 X X 0 0 0 LANETA GOING TREASURER 12.00 X X 0 0 0 MEL WILLIS SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 RIC MILLER PRESIDENT 8.00 X X 0 0 0 CHUCK PEEL MEMBER 4.00 X X 0 0 0 LAURA WARRINER CREATIVE DIR 40.00 X 0 0 0 CATHERINE CAGIGAL MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREW BLACK MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 LOLLY ANDERSON MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 LISSA BARR SHAW MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARILYN ARTUS MEMEBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 false false false 60651 98667 159318 PROGRAMS 19567 19567 19567 8200 8200 86709 86709 4553 4553 4553 278347 24120 8200 X 103036 103036 7882 7882 23291 23291 20048 20048 1270 165 1105 6843 6755 88 7166 7166 19803 19803 8955 8955 179 179 7435 6938 497 OUTSIDE CONTRACT SERVICES 36709 36709 PROGRAM SUPPLIES/MATERIAL 14964 14964 COMMISSION 10461 10461 SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS 8402 8402 33270 3695 18100 11475 309714 39051 238635 32028 293633 265417 58686 39532 177 177 926 92369 92369 179 18833 353601 323959 1496 1713 -989 -635 507 1078 X 353094 322881 353094 322881 353601 323959 X -31367 1154 X false false X 147737 66381 177680 122536 159318 673652 147737 66381 177680 122536 159318 673652 673652 17660 4284 130 1701 8200 31975 705627 649920 0.95470 0.94100 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1743 1743 59146 59146 31480 31480 ACCRUED LIQUOR TAX -21 ACCRUED SALES TAX -614 -635 FUNDRAISING 86709 86709 86709 86709 86709 FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION ARTSPACE AT UNTITLED IS AN ENVIRONMENT DESIGNED TO STIMULATE CREATIVE THOUGHT AND NEW IDEAS THROUGH CONTEMPORARY ART.
