THE TEACHING PHILOSOPHY IS THE ATELIER (MASTER/ APPRENTICE) METHOD. THE IMMERSION APPROACH PROVIDES STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK SIDE BY SIDE WITH A MASTER ARTIST IN THE STUDIO. WHEN ASLD FIRST OPENED, IT EMPLOYED ONLY A HANDFUL OF ARTISTS WHO TAUGHT FEWER THAN 100 STUDENTS. CURRENTLY WE EMPLOY MORE THAN 100 PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS SERVING APPROXIMATELY 800 STUDENTS PER MONTH. WE OFFER MORE THAN 400 HANDS ON WORKSHOPS, CLASSES, LECTURES AND YOUTH COURSES.Expenses $1,878,375 · revenue $1,202,155

THE EVENT SHOWCASES ALMOST 300 LOCAL ARTISTS, ALL OF WHOM ARE PART OF THE ASLD COMMUNITY, AS FACULTY, STUDENTS AND MEMBERS. EACH YEAR, 10,000 PEOPLE ATTEND, COMPRISING A LOYAL BASE OF COLLECTORS, DONORS, SPONSORS AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC. IT HAS WIDELY BEEN CALLED THE BEST ART MARKET IN ALL OF COLORADO. ASLD MAKES NO MONEY FROM THE SALE OF ART, BUT DOES RAISE FUNDS THROUGH BOOTH RENTAL FEES, AND FOOD AND BEVERAGE SALES AT THE EVENT. EXPENSES INCLUDE EVENT PLANNERS, LICENSES, ENTERTAINMENT, SUPPLIES, MARKETING, SECURITY, AND OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE EVENT ITSELF.Expenses $104,600 · revenue $172,847
- OTHER PROGRAMS: OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, ASLD HAS PURSUED PARTNERSHIPS WITH A VARIETY OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE ART EXPERIENCES TO INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY NOT OTHERWISE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY. SOME OF THESE PARTNERSHIPS INCLUDE THE DENVER PUBLIC LIBRARY, WHERE ASLD FACULTY ARTISTS TEACH HANDS-ON ART WORKSHOPS IN LIBRARIES TO INTERGENERATIONAL AUDIENCES; JEFFERSON COUNTY SCHOOLS, WHERE FACULTY TEACH ART TEACHERS STUDIO TECHNIQUES; AND WITH A VARIETY OF OTHER ART ORGANIZATIONS TO OFFER JOINT PROGRAMMING. REVENUE FOR THESE PROGRAMS COMES FROM A COMBINATION OF GRANTS AND REGISTRATION FEES. EXPENSES INCLUDE WAGES AND SUPPLIES. ASLD HOSTS A VARIETY OF EXHIBITIONS AT OUR HISTORIC GRANT STREET BUILDING AND IN PARTNERSHIP WITH VARIOUS CREATIVE SPACES THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. REPRESENTING THE DIVERSITY OF THE THRIVING DENVER ARTS COMMUNITY, OUR EXHIBITIONS ALSO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXAMINE CURRENT TRENDS AND PURCHASE ORIGINAL FINE ART FROM FACULTY, STUDENTS AND CELEBRATED ARTISTS FROM ACROSS THE U.S. EACH YEAR, THE VISITING ARTIST SERIES BRINGS SEVERAL NOTABLE ARTISTS TO ASLD TO TEACH MASTER CLASSES, WHICH SUPPLEMENT EXISTING ONGOING CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS.
