In the fall of 2021, Dept. of Sound began pre-production on a video interview series focused on amplifying the voices of Indigenous Music Artists. The series, scheduled to launch in November 2022, focuses on the personal narratives and crafts of 3 selected Indigenous artists, and includes the recording of an audio sample pack of traditional Indigenous instruments. The selected artists include an established contemporary artist, a traditional artist, and a young emerging artist. Our selection hopes to shine a lens on multifaceted Indigenous voices from a historical, present, and future context through three artists who each integrate their personal ties to Native culture in their own unique artistic identities. 45804 0 29654 Dept. of Sound implements music and podcast production curriculum through live, online, and hybrid programming, including our self-paced Valley Producer Program; our two-year mentorship program, the Valley Producer Fellowship; our online Resource Hub; auxiliary programs with partners like Scholar's Playground; and our Valley Producer Academy curriculum program for schools. In 2021, we partnered with 13 schools in 4 districts to provide curriculum licenses for 1,800 students. Our program is designed in 10-week modules and can be customized to meet the specific needs of students in each school we serve. We provide professional development training in our curricula and the software we use for all existing music teachers, and if no instructor is available, we provide trained and certified music teaching artists. These activities provide access to youth by delivering music and podcast production education to students and teaching skills to support creative careers and personal well-being. 0 0 0 272598 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 135285 0 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 X 4 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X Lori Divine 9166623991 640 Tower Street North Bend OR 97459 John H Hodgson III Chief Executive Officer, CoFounder 40 0 X X X 81458 0 0 Tyler Garnett Board Chair, CoFounder 1 0 X 2300 0 0 John H Hodgson II Treasurer 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Alex Sioukas Board Member 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Verna Sulpizo Hull Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 83758 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 12228 0 55700 0 0 67928 538803 538803 0 0 538803 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 606731 538803 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 83406 83406 0 0 0 0 0 0 54991 54844 147 0 0 0 0 0 12929 12848 81 0 13091 13009 82 0 0 0 0 0 2091 473 1618 0 26681 0 26681 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 90708 90153 120 435 0 0 0 0 3507 2298 1198 11 11204 8062 3142 0 0 0 0 0 4939 3039 1900 0 4289 4289 0 0 0 0 0 0 177 177 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 308013 272598 34969 446 87343 167821 0 0 44153 154910 0 0 0 24949 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 131500 347680 48554 10429 0 84434 0 0 0 5000 0 10000 132988 25429 X -1488 23534 0 298717 -1488 322251 131500 347680 298718 0 0 0 25021 0 X 0 0 0 X 31056 360886 606731 998673 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 31056 360886 606731 998673 998673 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 998673 998673 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 The Treasurer, John Hodgson II is the father of the Chief Executive Officer, John H.
