We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

MGC's principle mission is to provide a printmaking studio in Manhattan that offers professional facilities at a reasonable cost, and an environment where artists can work and learn together. Continued on schedule O.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO PROVIDE AND MAINTAIN A STUDIO FOR ARTISTS TO LEARN,CREATE,TEACH AND EXHIBIT PRINTMAKING ARTS.

  • Open Workshop: Open workshop is Manhattan Graphics founding program. It allows artists to use printmaking studio in a self-directed manner to produce artwork. Some artists are charged on an hourly basis while others are charged based on bundled hours along with class enrollment (the charges are included in tuition). A few of the artists such as volunteer keyholders and scholarship artists receive complimentary open workshop hours. Manhattan Graphics also offers 24/7 studio access to the studio at a higher membership fee. During the year ended June 30, 2024, 417 artists used the open workshop.

    Expenses $134,398 · Revenue $20,739

  • PRINTMAKING CLASSES:Classes is one of the foundational programs of Manhattan Graphics. The classes cover basic printmaking techniques such as intaglio, relief, screenprint and lithography as well as specialized, advanced, creative, and innovative approaches. Manhattan Graphics offers classes throughout the year in terms of fall, spring, and summer. The core classes, which are classes that provide extended, advanced instruction in the basic techniques are offered in the fall, spring, and summer terms. The core classes also include shorter workshops that build on these skills. Shorter classes which are more exploratory and reach a wider audience are offered in the summer. During the year ended June 30, 2024, Manhattan Graphics delivered 47courses in its online and in-person classes with total enrollment of approximately 204 artists.

    Expenses $111,887 · Revenue $62,151

  • Outreach:Outreach consists of several programs (Exhibitions, Artist Talks, Scholarships and Visiting Printmaker Workshop) that reach audiences beyond the studio walls of Manhattan Graphics. Exhibitions -These consist of solo member shows, exchange exhibitions, juried shows, and its annual member show in two gallery spaces. During the year ended June 30, 2024, Manhattan Graphics held seven in-person exhibitions with 348 artists participating. There were no online exhibits. Artist Talks -These involve the regular invitation of artists to Manhattan Graphics studio to discuss their current practice with the public in gatherings that allow a free exchange of ideas. This program is funded by grants. Manhattan Graphics has temporarily moved the Artist Talks online due to the Covid-19 pandemic. During the year ended June 30, 2024, Manhattan Graphics hosted Artist Talks featuring 9 guest speakers, with 152 people participating. Scholarship-Manhattan Graphics awards 11 scholarships every year to artists who are new to the studio but whose financial situation precludes access. During the award term, each selected artist receives a tuition waiver for class (one long course or two short courses), unlimited open workshop time, access to storage, reimbursement for materials cost up to $125, as well as membership at Manhattan Graphics Center for one year. There were 9 scholarship students in fiscal year 2024. Visiting Printmaker Workshop-The Visiting Printmaker Workshop is an outreach youth education program. Manhattan Graphics teaching artists provide printmaking instruction onsite at Manhattan public high schools, together with the students' classroom art teacher. The sessions are supplemented by a field trip to a cultural institution. In fiscal year 2024, groups visited the main branch of the New York Public Library to view prints in the Polonsky Exhibition of The New York Public Librarys Treasurers, as well as for an overview of the Picture collection, and to the Manhattan Graphics Center workshop space where the students are given a demonstration of the printmaking techniques they use in the classroom. The program is entirely supported by grant funds. During fiscal year 2024, Manhattan Graphics Center provided five Visiting Printmaker workshops with students at The High School of Arts and Design with 110 students participating.

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.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
