Mission
THE MISSION OF BAYARTS IS TO PROVIDE A WELCOMING LAKESIDE ENVIRONMENT TO STIMULATE, ENCOURAGE AND SUPPORT PROFESSIONAL AND ASPIRING ARTISTS OF ALL AGES THROUGH COLLABORATION, EDUCATION AND EXHIBITION.
-
IN 2025, BAYARTS CONTINUED TO THRIVE AS A VIBRANT CULTURAL HUB, DEEPENING ITS IMPACT THROUGH EXPANDING PROGRAMMING, STRONG COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, AND MEANINGFUL FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS. ATTENDANCE, PARTICIPATION, AND VISIBILITY ALL REFLECTED STEADY GROWTH AND A RENEWED ENTHUSIASM FOR THE ARTS ACROSS OUR REGION. PROGRAMMATIC HIGHLIGHTS OUR ARTS PROGRAMMING CONTINUED TO GROW IN BOTH SCALE AND REACH. THE ANNUAL JURIED SHOW WAS ONE OF OUR MOST SUCCESSFUL TO DATE, RECEIVING OVER 500 ENTRIES IN 2025, UNDERSCORING BAYARTS' REPUTATION AS A RESPECTED REGIONAL ARTS DESTINATION. ADDITIONAL VISUAL ARTS HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDED THE ANNUAL CERAMICS SHOW AND THE FALL PLEIN AIR FESTIVAL, EACH DRAWING ARTISTS AND VISITORS FROM ACROSS NORTHEAST OHIO. SIGNATURE COMMUNITY EVENTS REMAINED A CORNERSTONE OF OUR MISSION. THE ART + MUSIC FESTIVAL, THURSDAY MARKETS, AND FREE SUNDAY CONCERTS WELCOMED THOUSANDS OF VISITORS TO CAMPUS, FOSTERING ACCESSIBILITY, CREATIVITY, AND CONNECTION IN AN INCLUSIVE OUTDOOR SETTING. OUR SUMMER CAMPS PROGRAM CONTINUED TO BE FOUNDATIONAL TO OUR EDUCATIONAL MISSION, SERVING MORE THAN 1,500 STUDENTS AND OFFERING HIGH-QUALITY, ENGAGING ARTS EXPERIENCES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER MONTHS. FUNDRAISING AND COMMUNITY-BUILDING EVENTS ALSO FLOURISHED. MOONDANCE, OUR ANNUAL FUNDRAISER, WAS A STANDOUT SUCCESS, AND RENTAL EVENTS-INCLUDING WEDDINGS, BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS, GRADUATION PARTIES, AND PRIVATE GATHERINGS-CONTINUED TO BRING NEW AUDIENCES TO BAYARTS WHILE SUPPORTING OUR SUSTAINABILITY. SEASONAL AND RETAIL SUCCESS THE 2025 HOLIDAY SEASON WAS ONE OF OUR STRONGEST YET. OUR HOLIDAY EXTRAVAGANZA FEATURED A VISIT FROM SANTA, FESTIVE CARRIAGE RIDES, AND A PERFORMANCE BY THE BAY CHORALEERS, CREATING A MEMORABLE COMMUNITY CELEBRATION. THE ACCOMPANYING OPEN HOUSE OF OUR ARTISAN SHOP, SHOWCASING WORK BY MORE THAN 70 LOCAL ARTISTS, WAS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL ATTENDED AND PROVIDED VITAL SUPPORT FOR REGIONAL CREATIVES. FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS WAS MADE ON FACILITY ENHANCEMENTS IN 2025. A NEW ROOF WAS COMPLETED ON THE PLAYHOUSE, NOW PROUDLY KNOWN AS THE BAYARTS CULTURAL CENTER, PRESERVING THIS IMPORTANT HISTORIC STRUCTURE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. ADDITIONALLY, NEW CONCRETE WALKWAYS WERE INSTALLED IN THE BAYARTS SENSORY GARDEN, IMPROVING ACCESSIBILITY AND SETTING THE STAGE FOR CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT OF THIS UNIQUE SPACE.

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.
