What Artspace does
Mission
Charitable Arts Organization. Artspace is a gallery for the visual and performance arts. Artspace's mission is to support the development of the arts and artists from all backgrounds, through exhibitions, education, and opportunities that create resilient and thoughtful communities through the arts.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Artspace utilized its 2335 square foot gallery space for exhibitions of visual art that would otherwise not be shown in the Richmond, VA area. Dozens of our art exhibitions were selected primarily by our Exhibition Committee. Some of these exhibitions featured a solo artist and others featured the combined efforts of multiple artists (joint exhibitions). One joint exhibit featured works by artist alumni of Virginia Atelier in Paris. The exhibit from August 23 through September 21 showcased visual art, poetry, and music from artist residents of prestigious Cite internationale des arts. Artspace also hosted group exhibitions of artwork by our artist members which featured the work of several dozen artists. Our biennial Members Show was one such exhibition. Artspace also held exhibitions featuring calls (around the state and region) for entry where the artwork was selected by independent (of Artspace) judges. One such juried show was the latest installment of our Biennial Regional Juried Exhibition, Radius 250, open to artists within 250 miles of Richmond.
$87,632 spent100% of program spendingArtspace exhibition space was also provided to community art organizations. These exhibitions were selected by our Partnerships and Programming committee. Artspace hosted regular monthly events of poetry, music, and art. Each first Saturday of the month, Slam Richmond met at Artspace beginning at 5:30PM for a writer's workshop and open mic at 8:00PM, offered free and open to the public. Each second Monday of the month, jazz performances by musicians from Out of Your Head Records were offered at 7:30PM free or at a low cost to the public. At 2:00PM on the Saturday following the opening reception of exhibitions, our exhibitors provided artist talks about their artwork, techniques, and inspirations, all free and open to the public. Additionally, Artspace hosted a monthly Community Art Day on the first Saturday of the month at 1:00PM where the public was invited to make art inspired by the exhibitions on view at the gallery. Materials were provided and no fees were charged. The gallery also added a morning monthly Figure Drawing class in addition to our evening class with donations taken at the door.
$0 spent0% of program spendingIn addition to our monthly art events, Artspace presented musical concerts, such as "In the Round," that featured Steve Bassett, BJ Kocen, Justin Laughter, and Willie Williams performing together on September 25. We provided space for artist workshops. One such workshop, Art Playshop - Paint Inspired by Monet's Garden at Giverny, provided a guided painting experience for those with no previous art experience, with all materials provided by workshop organizers. Additionally, our Programming and Partnerships Committee continued collaborating with two local organizations to create satellite shows featuring our members' artwork at Natalie's Taste of Lebanon restaurant (seasonal shows) and at Boyd Realty Group (monthly shows with an opening reception on the same night as our gallery exhibitions).

The 3 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $87,632.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $51k to $129k (+152%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $13 → $19.
1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Artspace’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
Artspace leans on a few funders — its largest provides 83% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
Artspace draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Virginia, across 2 states in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $64 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
