We provide hands-on, immersive opportunites for children and adults to explore and engage with the science of sound through Dr. Bobs SoundSchool and the Moogseum. Through these projects, we inspire the next generation of innovative thinkers. false false 623363 0 110028 In 2023, our hallmark education project, Dr. Bobs SoundSchool , once again served almost 3,000 students in 125 classrooms in the Asheville area, providing an innovative 10-week curriculum, teaching the science of sound through music and technology. We delivered over 30,000 individual lessons to two school districts. We continued development and investment of resources to create a custom theremin-based educational tool, the ThereScope, which, when ready to be manufactured, will allow us to serve children nationwide through our program. The preservation and expansion of the Bob Moog Foundation Archives continued as we added and restored numerous documents, correspondence, memorabilia, video, and important vintage instruments to our collection, including but not limited to a vintage Crumar Spirit synthesizer, a rare R.A. Moog Troubador Theremin, and a rare MuSonics Minimoog. We developed detailed cataloging and labeling procedures for all archive materials. With a grant award from the National Endowment for the Humanities, we completed an extensive two-day preservation workshop that was led by a professional conservationist focused on best practices and prioritizing the needs of our collection. The Moogseum , a 1,400-square-foot interactive public-facing museum located in downtown Asheville, NC, opened on May 23, 2019. The Moogseum is comprised of 12 custom-designed experiential exhibits, that were created to inspire and engage people of all ages and knowledge levels. The Moogseum sees over 10,000 visitors annually and is heralded locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally as one of the best museums of its kind. We have welcomed over 40,000 visitors to the Moogseum since its inception. In 2023, a Moogseum exhibit, the Timeline of Synthesis, was selected to be part of a 2024 Oregon State Universitys Sonic Boom exhibit and Herb Deutschs Minimoog was chosen to be exhibited at the Music America exhibition at the LBJ Presidential Library. 623363 true true false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false true false false false false false true 15 0 9 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true false true false false X Michelle Moog-Koussa 8282158414 P O Box 8136 Asheville NC 28814 Michelle Moog-Koussa Executive Director 60.00 X 120000 0 0 David Mash Chair 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Daniel Keller Vice-Chair 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Marcus Ryle Co-Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Terence van Arkel Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Jerry Kovarsky Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Chris Halaby Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Henry Panion III Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sally Sparks Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Yvonne Spicer Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Whalen Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marc Willis Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 120000 0 0 1 false false false 957 269886 109460 270843 Moogseum Entry Fees 712110 110028 0 0 Dr. Bobs Sound School 541900 0 0 0 110028 2406 0 2406 2443 2443 0 0 957 386294 25123 361171 361171 148918 66026 82892 82892 Miscellaneous Revenue 999999 365 0 0 365 365 830148 195363 0 363942 120000 98772 8496 12732 271332 271332 0 0 31095 28607 933 1555 425 0 425 0 2431 0 2431 0 17021 13828 3193 0 29778 26800 0 2978 54774 16184 36504 2086 36489 26617 2305 7567 65053 58392 3295 3366 34657 30776 1845 2036 21524 0 21524 0 22348 18395 1582 2371 5471 3136 2270 65 Program-Archiving Expenses 18389 18389 0 0 Dues and Subscriptions 3570 2937 253 380 Event Expenses 16316 0 0 16316 Profession Development and Education 7159 7159 0 0 3666 2039 1364 263 761498 623363 86420 51715 20028 46497 32336 16001 47876 15536 30697 38327 547966 134475 313290 413491 88852 93746 1873 1873 534952 625471 53096 67987 31192 22857 150000 162655 234288 253499 X 300664 369192 2780 300664 371972 534952 625471 68650 2658 X false false false X 0 198564 240355 474818 274343 270843 1458923 0 0 198564 240355 474818 274343 270843 1458923 427239 1031684 66 36 16261 9765 4849 30977 0 365 365 1490265 1854371 0.69230 0.54330 X 0 0 0 Pt II Ln 10 Other Income Part II, Line 10 Description: Miscellaneous Revenue 2023: 365.
