To overcome this challenge, NBAF offers free in-school arts programs, of which NEXTGEN Artist is one. The NEXTGEN Artist Program curates educational workshops in the following Atlanta area schools:Luther J. Price Middle SchoolSylvan Hill Middle SchoolDrew Charter Junior/Senior AcademyMaynard H. Jackson High SchoolCarver STEAM Academy High School(ii)Move/Dance: Move/Dance! nurtures the talent and aspirations of middle school dance students while supporting the teachers, parents, and guardians who stand beside them. Designed to bring high-quality dance-based arts education into Atlantas middle schools, the program merges creativity with community wellness.Through movement, students build confidence, discipline and joy while also addressing critical health issues such as hypertension, diabetes and obesity that disproportionately affect NBAFs communities. More than a dance class, Move/Dance! is an arts intervention that promotes healthier lifestyles through the power of rhythm and movement. (iii)Move/Dance! & Spelman College Department of Dance and Choreography: NBAFs Art of Teaching Dance introduces Spelman College students to the profession of dance education. In partnership with NBAFs Atlanta Public Schools partners, this extension of the Move/Dance program provides Spelman College students exposure to dance pedagogy and mentorship from dance education professionals, better preparing them for careers in dance.(iv)NBAF Summer Dance Intensive: NBAF offered a week during the summer of transformative dance classes from ages 12 to 16 in Ballet, Jazz, Modern, and Contemporary, culminating in a spectacular performance on Saturday. The program is free for youth dancers.(v)Artist Project Fund (APF): Artists need funding to sustain themselves and their careers to meet the moment, and to help reshape arts infrastructure and systems that have been equitable or sustainable. NBAF desires to ensure that there are solutions in place as we help ensure equity in resources for the Black community and create a brighter future through the power of Black Art. The Artist Project Fund (APF) is a $2,000 award and artistic development program for Metro Atlanta artists seeking funds to complete on ongoing project. It supports 20 professional artists over a 6-month period in the completion of an artistic project, fostering a sense of community and creative collaboration, and providing immersive artistic and career development experiences to help each participant grow as creative entrepreneurs. APF was an initiative created in 2020 to serve as a COVID relief fund and has since evolved to nurture talent on a longer trajectory by supporting growth and development of artists with financial and business support services. Through a series of workshops, panels, field trips and arts engagement, artists are given tools and resources to be successful in the marketplace and ensure that their projects thrive. 1039983 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false true false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 75 0 true 7 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 15 15 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true true true false X LEATRICE ELLZY 4047307315 1200 FOSTER STREET NW STUDIO S124 ATLANTA GA 30318 X STEPHANIE OWENS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 0.00 165375 0 0 LISA BONNER Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CAROLE IRENE SYKES Vice Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 FELICIA MCDADE Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DEMETRIA ALI Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BIANCA BLADES Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CECILIA CHEEKS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER CHRISTIAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KIMBERLY FISHER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MALIK W HAKEEM Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 FREDRICK HICKS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MYCHAL JACKSON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DEREK JOHNSON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DR TIFFANY RAND Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANGELA WATTS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PRESTON WILSON JR Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LEATRICE ELLZY CEO 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 165375 1 false true false 0 5000 274300 670616 949916 0 0 0 0 0 0 279124 168645 110479 0 0 ADMINISTRATIVE FEES 6000 6000 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 9484 9484 15484 1075879 15484 X 61500 61500 52000 52000 0 0 165375 124031 20672 20672 0 324851 272006 22547 30298 0 23083 18648 2035 2400 41061 33172 3620 4269 0 0 41562 41562 0 0 0 441684 300197 77322 64165 20950 20950 0 6323 4740 1000 583 0 105963 90946 8667 6350 13382 12807 555 20 0 0 0 0 14334 14334 12730 5037 7045 648 SUPPLIES 26362 19913 6160 289 DUES AND SUBS 8948 7148 1096 704 WEBSITE AND INTERNET 7060 5703 623 734 MEALS AND ENTERTAINMENT 4003 2686 1020 297 15457 8499 6749 209 1386628 1039983 215007 131638 675714 432745 0 0 20000 0 0 0 0 35000 23050 11636 6621 365080 325042 54372 40038 0 0 0 0 29450 6168 826172 508622 43572 19349 27005 3741 70577 23090 X 592007 344099 163588 141433 755595 485532 826172 508622 -310749 40686 X false true X false false X 1127581 1356480 1342289 870943 1060395 5757688 0 0 1127581 1356480 1342289 870943 1060395 5757688 0 5757688 0 0 15483 15483 5773171 0.99730 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 310716 290868 19848 54364 34174 20190 40038 CREDIT CARDS 1265 LEASE LIABILITY 2476 3741 X 1078379 2500 2500 1075879 1075879 1389128 2500 2500 1386628 1386628 Part X : FIN48 Footnote National Black Arts Festival, Inc. is exempt from income taxes under Section 501 (c) of the United States Internal Revenue Code. During the year, National Black Arts Festival, Inc. had no unrelated business income as defined by Section 512 of the Code and, therefore no provision for income tax is necessary. FASB ASC topic 740, Income Taxes, requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Organizations tax returns to determine whether the tax positions would more-likely-than-not be sustained if challenged by an applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Organization evaluates its uncertain tax positions using the provisions of FASB ASC topic 450, Contingencies. Management believes there are no material estimates that should be accrued as of December 31, 2024. The Organization believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2021. false FINE ART + FASHION 173009 173009 20900 22125 59467 GALA 106115 106115 13860 52293 279124 279124 34760 22125 111760 168645 110479 false HOUSE OF PRODUCTION LLC 644 ANTONE STREET ATLANTA GA 30318 61500 0 PRODUCTION SUPPORT 0 1 ARTISTS GRANTS 22 52000 false false false false false false false false false STEPHANIE OWENS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 165375 165375 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Once the Form 990 is completed by the audit firm, it is reviewed by the finance committee, sent to Board of Directors and presented by the audit firm during the Board meeting with approval from Board of Directors once completed.
