In 2023...
With the help of some major grants, we added resources/services including: recording studio, dance studio, practice rooms, 90 person venue with lights, sound, and projection, music instrument library with over 60 instruments (from which we have circulated more than 40 instruments so far).
​
We added programming including: 6 dance classes serving 42 youth per week,
theater and writing camps and classes, and a variety of visual arts experiences, the teenage music community, "The Jam" now serving 15-18 teens per week.
We added community hours on Saturdays with a variety of experiences and hands-on learning.
​
We added 1 full time, and 3 part time staff: Aly Fenske (Administration and Theater/writing), Chris Rambo (Dance/Web Design), Kiersten Barnhardt (Marketer/Dance), Jacob Vieras (Building/Equipment Manager/Community Hours Coordinator/Jam).
​
As we look ahead to continuing post-grant, we need your help to sustain these efforts!
Our monthly expenses average $11,437.
We have 9 strategic channels of revenue.

Don't underestimate the potential of a Facebook fundraiser too, simply using your testimony of how you have seen God use CollECtive Arts.
