What Creede Center for the Arts does
Mission
The mission of the Creede Center for the Arts is to offer art, perspectives on nature, and communal experiences that enhance the lives of local residents, attract new visitors, and drive economic growth in the historic city of creede, colorado.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
2025 was a transformative year for the Creede Center for the Arts. Most notably, we purchased the historic old high school-securing a permanent home for arts and culture in our community. We engaged an architectural firm and general contractors who are actively developing renovation plans to bring the space to life. Our education programs and community outreach expanded significantly, welcoming more participants and deepening local partnerships. This milestone year laid a strong foundation for thoughtful growth, positioning the center to broaden access to the arts and serve as a lasting cultural anchor for creede.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $281k to $1.3M (+364%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2022 3% · 2023 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
