What Museum of Beadwork does
Programs
We brought in six renowned teachers to share techniques in weekend-long workshops. Each artist exhibits a selection of their prominent works in the Museum for a period of about 6 months. Showcasing different artists and techniques allows the Museum to show the many traditions in beaded art from tapestry to sculpture to jewelry-making.
$25,000 spentExpanded the Gallery with additional cases and displays to include new exhibits and showcase the work of more established artists. Over 2100 visitors and 200 members participated in our community in 2025 to expand the understanding of beaded artwork.
$9,000 spentOur Emerging Beader Program offers opportunities for new artists to show their work for the first time in a Museum. In 2024 we partnered with 11 artists who had not previously exhibited their work to help nurture their artistic career.
$2,000 spentEach month the Museum opens its doors for a free community event to allow the public access to the gallery to see the exhibits meet guest artists and participate in educational activities as a hands-on experience that promotes understanding of the artwork.

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. 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 $53k to $24k (−55%).
Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
