In person residencies were interrupted by the pandemic in March 2020 when it was necessary for VSC to pause this offering. VSCs residency program reopened briefly for 5 weeks in July and August, serving primarily artists and writers from Vermont. During our shortened residency window, VSC hosted over 160 artists and writers. Over 48 of these residents received fellowships and another 99 received financial aid for total of 147 artists who received financial support. VSC continued to serve our community through the pandemic by offering a wide array of virtual programming which include artists talks, writers readings, gallery talks and panel discussions on topics of interest to artists and writers. Multiple offerings were available live on-line through Zoom by sign up, and recordings of archived talks and readings were made available on our website to support the creative work during COVID.VSCs Interim Executive Director, Ellen McCulloch-Lovell worked with the VSCs board in a national search for a new Executive Director. The board invited Elyzabeh Holford as the Executive Director in July to lead VSC through the challenges of the pandemic and into its next decade. On-going work in diversity and inclusion training continued with the staff in efforts to make VSC a welcoming place for all residents, employees, and volunteers.In its commitment to support the local community, the VSC School Art Program provided all the children in Johnson Elementary with weekly art instruction and cultural enrichment, an exhibit for the community that included work by every child, participated in afterschool programming as well as shared ideas with other art teachers in the district. In the late spring and fall, this work was conducted online. In addition, VSC was able to offer art materials that were sent home to all the students in the school to assist them with continuing their work during the COVID schooling online. 2404062 true true false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 35 0 true 45 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 19 19 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true true false X JENNIFER BLAIR 8026352727 PO BOX 613 JOHNSON VT 05656 JENNIFER BLAIR CFO 40.00 0.00 X 58846 0 5309 GARY CLARK FORMER DIRECTOR 0.00 0.00 49854 0 12689 ELLEN MCCULLOCH-LOVELL INTERIM DIRECTO 40.00 0.00 X 54160 0 0 ELIZABETH JOY HOLFORD Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 48721 0 3318 ROBERT KENNY INTERIM FINANCE 40.00 0.00 X 34615 0 0 DAISY DESROSIERS Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MAJOR JACKSON Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES TAYLOR Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SUSAN CRONIN Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 LAURA WATT Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MELINDA HACKETT Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JO WEISS Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LES FISHMAN Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN YAU Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARY LOUISE PIERSON Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 WILLARD BOEPPLE Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MUSA MAYER Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ALESSANDRA GREGG Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 FRED OSBORNE FOUNDER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TERESA ERNST WATERMAN Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SARA LUTZ Co-Vice Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 NICHOLAS DELBANCO Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SEBASTIAN MATTHEWS Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BARBARA MARKS Co-Vice Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SUSAN NEWBOLD Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JONATHAN SINGER Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 246196 21316 0 true false false 0 217863 3111433 166206 3329296 PROGRAM REVENUE 611600 827147 827147 827147 180926 180926 0 0 0 5609206 4933496 675710 675710 675710 0 0 0 MISC INCOME 900099 29601 29601 29601 5042680 1713384 0 468813 468813 0 0 254825 254825 0 950692 560231 163094 227367 0 196531 103571 67061 25899 110038 57376 33214 19448 0 0 0 0 0 0 58032 58032 13961 13961 37232 37232 37565 37565 0 821255 798375 7627 15253 47286 43734 2783 769 0 0 0 0 226747 192735 18140 15872 0 FOOD 102436 102436 SUPPLIES 22507 22507 SERVICE CHARGES 11537 11537 MISCELLANEOUS 10935 503 10085 347 19214 2255 10868 6091 3389606 2404062 674498 311046 923845 3287739 0 298242 199742 32757 6351 0 0 0 0 20786 16937 8415653 3678905 4933847 4736748 8605587 6693145 0 0 0 640745 1857981 15455809 16798643 423935 81900 305942 204392 243306 399178 1200 973183 686670 X 7198477 8749143 7284149 7362830 14482626 16111973 15455809 16798643 1653074 31558 -55285 X false true X true false X 1993991 2392553 1866215 2860969 2971433 12085161 0 0 1993991 2392553 1866215 2860969 2971433 12085161 1888111 10197050 212652 589879 576996 364032 856637 2600196 0 0 14685357 7502959 0.69440 0.60280 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 8651578 832910 400377 2595128 6488983 7555173 1402727 372766 8585134 8206224 -486548 164503 7555173 7437502 85787 1130535 447600 8206224 7436768 357786 357052 7437502 0.10000 0.90000 false false false 312102 312102 7356713 3678905 3677808 746838 746838 4736748 CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS 1857981 1857981 SECURITY DEPOSIT 1200 1200 X 4491556 31558 -113869 -82311 4573867 468813 468813 5042680 2862209 -58584 -58584 2920793 468813 468813 3389606 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund. ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE INTENDED TO FURTHER THE MISSION OF THE ORGANIZATION Part X : FIN48 Footnote Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Center and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Center has taken an uncertain position that more-likely-than-not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Center and has concluded that as of December 31, 2020, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Center is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2017.
