Mission and programs · 2024

• Eco-Art Workshops & AdventuresThe Artist Boat, Inc. served 6,707 participants over the course of the 2024-2025 fiscal year through Eco-Art Workshops and Adventures, engaging them in classroom, studio, laboratory, and field-based environmental educational activities, integrating the arts and sciences for the exploration of coastal and marine habitats. The Artist Boat, Inc.s program participants are of all ages and come from a variety of backgrounds. They include students ranging from elementary school age to lifelong learners over age 55, teachers, and the general public. Each of the programs is designed to interpret coastal and marine ecosystems through various visual art media, including drawing and painting, mosaic installation, and sculpture. Educational topics covered by these programs include the physical and biological components, benefits and multiple uses, point and non-point source pollution, flora/fauna, historical perspectives, and efforts toward restoration of habitats in coastal and marine ecosystems, with special emphasis on issues affecting the Gulf of Mexico and the Texas coast. Field-based activities include excursions into local habitats and incorporate the use of kayaks and motor vessels. Additionally, The Artist Boat, Inc. provides outreach and engagement on the public beaches of Galveston Island and regional festivals. These are environmental education programs Bucket Brigade (45-minute beach exploration tours with a marine biologist), World Ocean Day (festival hosting booths, presenters, and hands-on engagement), Beautify the Bucket (beautification of trash receptacles on Galveston beaches), and art contests (art created with marine debris). 5,781 participants of all ages were served through this program.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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.

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.
