01What it does

What Westfield Arts Collective Inc does

Mission

The Westfield Arts Collective (WAC) will provide an inclusive and collaborative community space to inspire and showcase the visual and performing arts, through creation, exhibition and education. (See Schedule O)

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Westfield Arts Collectives programming represents a diverse range of artistic and community based programs including ongoing collaborations with the Westfield High School and Westfield Art Society along with other community presentations. Each exhibit endeavors to represent the artistry of local professional and student artists. As the organization evolves, we will maintain extremely diverse programming so that all residents in the community and region feel represented and welcome at the events, classes, and facilities. The organization will be working closely with members of the community, local officials, community and business leaders, students, families and other constituents to ensure that it operates with the broadest level of engagement, inclusion, and transparency.

  2. In addition to artistic programming, the organization completed architectural schematic design and renderings for the proposed renovation and transformation of the historic Rialto theater to become the Center for Creativity @ The Rialto. Architectural design work was conducted with Mills + Schnoering Architects. These designs were used as the basis for a fundraising feasibility study conducted with fundraising counsel, The Angeletti Group. The reports and studies formed the basis for subsequent grant proposals to select institutional funders.

The 2 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $268,350.

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $29 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.
