What Emergent Art Space does
Mission
Emergent Art Space is a non-profit organization, based in San Francsico, California, created to support students and emerging artists through a website that offers young artists a platform to exhibit and share their works of visual arts, and exchange ideas, activities and projects with their peers around the world. It is devoted to artists still in school or under the age of 30. Emergent Art Space encourages and facilitates intercultural education and communication on the role of art and artists in our society.
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
The website of the organization is the interactive platform https emergentartspace.org. that is open to and allows the participations of young artists from all over the world. In 2023 the website published a project by the non profit Tanzanian group AC4D Africa, a project that EAS supported with a small grant in 2022. The exhibition 'Trails oF Absence" at the Pouch gallery in Paris, by Myanmar artist Sai. A project in the Sikkim region of India by artist Deo Prasad Rai. The website has also hosted the series "World in Motion" by Zambian artist Daudi M.Yves and "You Are What You Eat" by Indian artist Maksud Ali Mondal. A report from the collective art studio of Tanzanian artist organizer Gadi Ramadhani. An interview with Indian artist Deo Prasad Rai who is creating an art gallery in the remote area of Sikkim.

$0 spentof which $2,000 as grantsIn February 2023 EAS launched a Call for art on the theme "Art and Human Rights". We received hundreds of submissions from around the world. About 40 works were selected by young artists from Canada, USA, Colombia, Japan, Taiwan, Spain, Russia, Georgia, Belarus, South Africa, Ghana, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, India, Pakistan and Myanmar. They were shown in May 2023 in the online exhibition "Art and Human Rights". A good number of these works became part of the large international exhibition "Art and Human Rights: Conversing Multiplicities" at the University of Concordia, Montreal, Canada in June 2023. Emergent Art Space participated in all the events related to this exhibition from May 30th to June 8th, 2023.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2021 to 2022, from $45k to $54k (+21%).
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.
100% of EMERGENT ART SPACE’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (78% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income fell $70k → $68k.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 30% 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 EMERGENT ART SPACE’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
EMERGENT ART SPACE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 70% 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
30% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund EMERGENT ART SPACE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 71% · 2018 71% · 2019 63% · 2020 77% · 2021 100% · 2022 67% · 2023 74% — growing more concentrated.
“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
EMERGENT ART SPACE draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 1 state in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $150k 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.
Against its field
EMERGENT ART SPACE has grown faster than half of the 14,279 arts & culture nonprofits its size.
