Mission and programs · 2024

• CripTech IncubatorCripTech Incubator is an art-and-technology program centered on disability innovation. Encompassing labs, residencies, workshops, presentations, publications and education, this innovation incubator creates a platform for disabled artists to engage and remake creative technologies through the lens of accessibility. Employing a broad understanding of technologies, including prosthetic tools, neural networks, software, and the built environment, CripTech Incubator reimagines enshrined notions of how a body-mind can move, look, and communicate. In 2024, the program showcased exhibition and publication outcomes for the fellowship, and initiated development and recruitment of participants for Touch Aesthetics, a partnership with Arizona State Universitys Program in Narrative and Emerging Media centered on haptics and immersive storytelling, as well as the CripTech AI Lab, a virtual creative incubator dedicated to disability and artificial intelligence.

  Expenses $185,832

• PublicationsThe Organization serves as a critical content provider through our print and digital publications, which include the scholarly journal Leonardo as well as the Leonardo Book Series all published by The MIT Press. To meet the needs and interests of the community, the publishing program has grown to include online and digital publishing initiatives that explore experimental projects in interactive and emerging media, encompassing both open participation and peer-review practices.

• Creative Impact LabsCreative Impact Labs are international exchanges that utilize innovative, community-driven, technology-powered art projects to address social and environmental challenges. The labs encourage mutual understanding and cross-border collaboration between creative communities around the globe. Creative Impact Labs are led by a U.S.-based artist and co-produced with a local cultural organization in the overseas exchange location. During the exchange, a selected U.S. lead artist facilitates a workshop series introducing creative practices in emerging media. Local participants then apply the skills theyve learned in the creation of project prototypes that address the chosen social or environmental challenge.

  Expenses $70,485

• Residencies and Fellowship CollaborationsThe Organization partners with a variety of organizations to implement art science residencies, such as the Leonardo at Djerassi residency and Seize the Moment at ASU. The Organization and the Djerassi Resident Artists Program (DRAP) collaborate on the annual Leonardo at Djerassi artist/scientist residency that brings together artists and scientists for a month-long retreat in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Seize the Moment is an initiative of the Humanities Lab, Leonardo, and the Global Futures Laboratory at Arizona State University.

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.
