What The Arts Council of Pendleton Inc does
Mission
Active support of the arts.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The Arts Council of Pendleton provides opportunities for creative expression and community connection through experiences, education, and advocacy in the arts. The council does this primarily in three areas: arts education, arts and crafts exhibits, and arts economic development.The education programing is the cornerstone of the organization. We offer free and low-cost art and music classes for youth, teens, and adults year-round. In addition, we host school, church, and community groups in our facility and provide services off-site at schools and public spaces or events. Our building has many dedicated spaces for artmaking while other spaces perform double-duty hosting a range of art and music classes and presentations.The exhibit program supports both emerging and established artists from across the region and around the country. We enjoy allowing our exhibits to inform our education programing; often the featured artists work inspires class offerings. We host 14-16 unique exhibits each year, engaging with a wide range of mediums and viewpoints. The annual Open Regional Exhibit engages almost 100 artists each year, many showing their work in public for the first time.To…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2023 to 2024, from $621k to $530k (−15%).
How it's funded, over time
