The Mission of I Was Here is to create thriving equitable community across institutions, enabling us as citizens to understand who we were, who we are, and who we could be. The project brings voice and presence to the historic role of enslaved Africans in nation building. I Was Here creates programs for public spaces utilizing physical art installations along with augmented reality and digital experiences. Our installations are a mindful, reverent, and powerful acknowledgement of American history, merging the arts and humanities in significant historic spaces. In 2023, I Was Here made presentations out-of-state in New York, Florida, and Colorado, showcasing the effect and importance of remembering cultural and historical impacts. In Kentucky, I Was Here funded a digital street museum in cooperation with VisitLex to give students of the local public schools an understanding of Lexingtons mark on history. I Was Here also created an oral history of the project at the Louis Nunn center at the University of Kentucky, as well as a writers workshop in cooperation with LexArts and Kentucky Humanities. 0 80346 80346 Marjorie Guyon Secretary & Executive Director 2 4800 Barry Burton Treasurer & Program Director 2 23575 Syndy Deese Vice President 2 0 Johnny Martinez President 2 18200 Mary Quinn Ramer Director 1 0 James Brown Director 1 0 Roberta Davis Director 1 0 John Hayes Director 1 0 Ryan Foster Director 1 0 Jim voyles Director 1 0 Marshall Fields Director 1 9500 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 KY Ian Bourne PO Box 497 Lexington KY 405880497 8593120359 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 183599 84575 104776 148365 118274 639589 0 0 35358 6504 4971 46833 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 183599 84575 140134 154869 123245 686422 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 686422 0 0 99 136 168 403 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 99 136 168 403 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 183599 84575 140233 155005 123413 686825 0.99941 0.99961 0.00059 0.00039 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 NFT Expenses - $550, Program Expenses - $3088.09, Office Expenses - $2130.12, Soft FR Expenses - $4568.82, Bank Fees - $568.13, Business Licenses & Registrations - $135.42, Travel & Meetings - $8986.54, Info Tech -$2361.18, Ads & Promotions - $4051.52, Dues & Affiliations - $300 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 Description;Amount^Undeposited Square Funds;100^Total;100^
