Mission of Art Spark Texas is to challenge the perceptions of how people contribute by creating an arts-inspired inclusive community of individuals with diverse abilities.

  • Community Arts provided workshops, classes, and opportunities to artists with disabilities to sell their work at local and statewide events. In 2024/25, we offered in-person exhibits and classes at our studio/office location while still providing limited artist workshops virtually. Approximately 500 emerging and professional artists were offered professional development services and technical assistance in visual art, performance, creative writing, dance, and media arts. Began the third season of the True Tales by Disability Advocates podcast, featuring stories by people with disabilities, with over 4,000 downloads worldwide. Texas Veterans Strong continued to serve over 700 veterans by hosting two exhibitions in Austin and arts and healing workshops across the state. We also hosted and offered fiscal and administrative support to two local arts organizations.

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.
