• FORM 990-EZ, PART III, LINE 28, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Wildfire was proud to continue their partnership with the Town of Berthoud, providing arts and cultural programming to the Berthoud community. Town funding provides operating income to continue employing a part-time Programs Director and part-time Administrative Director. These positions were filled in 2022 and remain filled by the same individuals showing Wildfire's increased stability. Through varied, quality and affordable programming Wildfire touted a 16% increase in the number of programs held in 2023 with 3,200 total class participants. Program offerings include youth, adult and multi-generational classes covering multiple disciplines fostering creativity in art, music, dance and movement. Wildfire's longstanding adult ballet and tap classes continue to be program staples while the introduction of country line dancing saw new faces through Wildfire doors. Visual art programming continued to grow with the addition of a preschool art class and an adult meditative art series to accompany other successful programs such as summer art camps and semester long homeschool art. Wildfire continues to offer hand drumming for adults and introduced a multi-generational ukulele class to round out music offerings. Wildfire continues to build upon their community visibility through event participation. In addition to participating in local events such as Berthoud Day, Open Studios tour and Oktoberfest, Wildfire hosted Art in the Park in conjunction with the weekly Berthoud Farmer's Market. The weekly outdoor booth saw 650 individuals and was a highlight to many youth participants. Wildfire hosted two signature events this year. StreetFest was held in September and touted over 650 people in attendance. Our Holiday Artisan Market held on Small Business Saturday featured 11 vendors and 275 attendees.
