Mission and programs · 2024

• VISUAL ART CLASSES & WORKSHOPS: CVAC'S EDUCATION PROGRAMMING IS THE HEART OF ITS MISSION, OFFERING QUARTERLY CLASS SESSIONS THAT AVERAGE 8-10 WEEKS IN LENGTH AND PROVIDE 14 PROFESSIONAL TEACHING ARTISTS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO THRIVE IN THEIR FIELD. THESE CLASSES NURTURE A DYNAMIC LEARNING COMMUNITY WITHIN SUMMIT COUNTY, SERVING OVER 1,300 STUDENTS IN 150+ CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS DURING 2024 ALONE. IN ADDITION TO WEEKLY CLASSES, CVAC HOSTS ONE- AND TWO-DAY WEEKEND WORKSHOPS DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE UNABLE TO ATTEND REGULAR SESSIONS. THESE WORKSHOPS NOT ONLY EXPAND ACCESS FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS BUT ALSO ALLOW CVAC TO WELCOME GUEST ARTISTS FROM OUTSIDE ITS FACULTY, ENRICHING THE CURRICULUM WITH FRESH PERSPECTIVES AND SPECIALIZED EXPERTISE. TOGETHER, THESE OFFERINGS CREATE A VIBRANT, ACCESSIBLE, AND HIGH-QUALITY ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAM THAT FOSTERS BOTH ARTISTIC GROWTH AND COMMUNITY CONNECTION.

THESE EXHIBITIONS WELCOMED MORE THAN 14,000 VISITORS TO THE GALLERY, WHICH REMAINS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC DURING REGULAR HOURS. BY PRESENTING HIGH-QUALITY, JURIED, AND THEMED EXHIBITIONS, CVAC ELEVATES REGIONAL ARTISTS, BUILDS CROSS-COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS, AND ENSURES THAT THE VISUAL ARTS REMAIN ACCESSIBLE AND CELEBRATED THROUGHOUT SUMMIT COUNTY AND BEYOND.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
