What Leo Marchutz School of Painting & Drawing Inc does
Mission
The Leo Marchutz School of Painting & Drawing fosters a diverse, engaged, and art-focused community through the sustained investigation of the mysterious nature and aim of art. Preserving, nurturing, and expanding the pedagogy and artistic legacy of the school is made concrete through ongoing dialogue, educational apprenticeship, and artistic achievement rooted in Aix-en-Provence, France. The Leo Marchutz School of Painting & Drawing is a school of art that seeks to teach its students (people of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels) to see into nature, into works of art, and into themselves through a combination of impactful and immersive educational programs including painting and drawing workshops in Aix-en- Provence, France and beyond, museum study workshops in the United States, online programming, community- building events, and more.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Summer Painting Program in Aix-en-Provence (June/July 2025): A five-week summer program intended for students of all ages. 37 students enrolled/participated, ranging from ages 15 through 79. Courses in painting, drawing, art history, philosophy, creative writing, peacebuilding, and French were given along with field studies to surrounding regions to learn of the artists of the area (Van Gogh, Cezanne, etc.).
$93,349 spent$191,577 earned by the program78% of program spendingSpring Landscape Painting Workshops in Aix-en-Provence, France and in Venice, Italy (March/April 2025): We run two one-week painting workshops each spring intended for students of all ages/experience levels. 14 participants, aged 24-77, joined these two spring workshops. The Leo Marchutz School of Painting & Drawing likes to offer shorter-term workshops for people with busy lives to come abroad and learn to paint. The school has been taking students to Venice for a week in April for 40 years and this program allows students to give themselves over to painting and drawing for seven straight days in the famed canals of Venice, Italy.
$14,019 spent$25,198 earned by the program12% of program spendingImagination & Form in Great Works of Art: A Museum Study Seminar in New York, New York (October 2024): A wonderful group of 13 participants gathered in New York City from Friday, October 25th through Sunday, October 27th, 2024 for a long-weekend museum study seminar: Imagination & Form in Great Works of Art, which drew upon art historian Lionello Venturis book, Painting and Painters - How to Look at a Picture, From Giotto to Chagall. The group went on a deep dive into the imaginations of some of the great artists represented in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The museum seminar included texts by renowned artists, writers, and thinkers as the group spent extensive time discussing together what they found while taking long looks at artworks to discover meaning through the form of each work of art.
$13,754 spent$9,288 earned by the program11% of program spendingAdditional Program Expenses: $593 to cover a student's housing that we arranged during a private workshop. We also have -$1,677 reported in this fiscal year from our 2024 Summer Program due to some expenses getting reimbursed to the school later in the year, related to a student being robbed and us fronting him the money to get back home. So $593 + (-$1,677) = -$1,084 in additional program expenses In addition to the three main program services listed above, we also have small online drawing/painting programs that we run that bring in additional revenue ($3,570 from August 1, 2024-July 31, 2025). These do not have any direct expenses to run.

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 2022 to 2023, from $48k to $10k (−79%).
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.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 LEO MARCHUTZ SCHOOL OF PAINTING & DRAWING INC’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.
Where its funders are
100% of LEO MARCHUTZ SCHOOL OF PAINTING & DRAWING INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $30k 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.
