Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

PAR-Projects' mission is to empower diverse communities of people who believe in the arts. As educators, we provide classes and workshops related to creative career paths. As working artists, we enjoy hosting thought-provoking exhibitions and collaborations with regional artists focused on making creatively compelling statements.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Professional Artistic Research (PAR-) Projects' mission is to empower diverse communities of people who believe in the arts. As educators, we provide workshops & classes related to career development & skills training. As artists, we enjoy hosting thought provoking exhibits & collaborations.

  • Arts and Exhibition Facilities: We create space for artists to collaborate and engage with community, while expanding their social and professional networks. This is accomplished via the creation of pop-up (temporary) galleries and the ongoing renovation & expansion of our creative campus, locate in Northside, Cincinnati. Within these spaces we exhibit artwork & creative statements, oftentimes absorbing the cost of travel, shipping, and installation to alleviate burdens often faced by mid-career artists.

    Expenses $191,436 · Revenue $17,403

  • Collaborations & Community Engagement Programming: We create opportunities for collaborative projects to help support fellow nonprofits, working artists, and partnering businesses looking to give back to the community. These often present themselves as fine art exhibitions, pop-up (temporary) experiences, art markets, and shared experiences & festivals.

    Expenses $57,128 · Grants $54,500 · Revenue $8,368

  • Visiting Artist and Education Program: We create educational opportunities that benefit our communities, as well as artists of the region. As we are still recovering and adjusting from the COVID 19 lockdown, our primary expenses of this program were related to planning and equipment purchases.

    Expenses $18,490

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
