Mission and programs · 2022

• The Art-at-the-Park Initiative integrated a broad range of activities based on the concept of "urban ecology", a concept that is not solely focused on the natural environment but also on preserving and documenting the experiences of the people who currently live in the neighborhood, as well as those who came before them. Working with community artists and students from area colleges, we recorded interviews with residents and presented them through students' artwork to honor and commemorate the knowledge of a community's personal and collective histories as key to its sustainability. Our identity as humans is very much connected to the land we occupy. Striving to understand the urban ecology also lets us focus on this relationship between people and the spaces (historical, natural and environmental) that they inhabit.

As filed on the 2022 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

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.
