Marwen helps students find new ways to view themselves, their futures, and the world around them through exposure to and practice of the visual arts. 0 0 717191 Studio Programs - Free studio art courses for 6th through 12th graders are at the heart of Marwen's mission. Marwen has more than 1,600 annual student enrollments across 100 studio courses in a wide range of media, such as painting, drawing, photography, fashion, and more. These rigorous after-school or weekend courses are taught by professional working artists in Marwen's six state-of-the-art studios and include all materials at no cost to the student. Marwen does not require students to have previous art-making experience, and at the end of each term, students' work is exhibited in Marwen's gallery spaces. 228408 College Planning Programs Marwen students and their families often have limited access to information and support surrounding the college application process. Marwen's College Planning offers students and families guidance and resources through workshops, field trips, events, and counseling. College Programs help students prepare applications, apply for financial aid, pursue scholarship opportunities, and prepare for ACT/SAT testing. Additionally, Marwen hosts an annual College Fair that connects students with college representatives from around the country, and more than 90% of Marwen's graduating class is accepted to college. 181120 Marwen Institute The Marwen Institute maximizes student learning through programs for teaching artists and assistants to teach and learn in the arts. Professional Development programs explore best teaching practices through orientations, workshops, pre- and post-term meetings, the Peer-to-Peer Exchange program, the annual retreat, and the ongoing Teaching Artists Fellows Program. Program evaluation and assessment generates enhanced understanding of student learning at Marwen through individual student assessment, the collection of quantitative student data, and the Teaching Artist and Teaching Assistant Reflection Surveys. The results of this data analysis are shared with the teaching artists and assistants immediately following the term to inform teaching and course development. 149837 Career Development Programs - Designed to teach students essential job skills and provide on-the-job professional training, Marwen's Career Programs allow students to explore career options in the arts and develop essential professional skills such as resume development, interviewing techniques, and portfolio preparation. Art at Work, a paid summer internship program, connects students with creative businesses and engages them in a commissioned art project for a client. Comprehensive Portfolio Development programs help students make choices about how they present their artwork, supporting them as they document, select, and present a body of work and compose a strong artist statement. These portfolios are reviewed by Marwen staff and counselors, art professionals, and admissions representatives at our annual Portfolio Day. 87305 Alumni Programs Alumni Programs encourage graduating seniors to continue their involvement with Marwen students, staff, and faculty through exhibitions, teaching jobs, and counseling services designed especially for alumni as they pursue their academic and career goals. Alumni also give back to Marwen by leading workshops for students, volunteering at events, and providing an array of program support, including assistance with evaluation and creating mentoring initiatives. 80351 Exhibitions Marwen's two gallery spaces host exhibitions of student and professional work throughout the year. Four times a year, students' final work from the preceding term of courses is presented in an exhibition. In addition to these four shows, Marwen periodically holds special exhibitions featuring the work of Marwen teaching artists and staff, alumni, and nationally recognized artists. 39260 42825 Design to Print Program Each year, Marwen hires up to 14 students, after a thorough application and interview process, to create a unique design to be printed as greeting and holiday cards and sold as part of Marwen's annual Design to Print program. Combining art-making with entrepreneurial skill development through working with clients, delivering presentations, and seeing a project through to completion, participating students receive feedback on their designs from a client panel consisting of Marwen senior staff and professionals from creative businesses. 356753 42825 1483472 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 99 0 1 80 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 X 34 34 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 IL X Antonia Contro 3129442418 833 North Orleans Unit 1 Chicago IL 60610 Bryan Traubert Immediate Past Chairman 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Deborah Quazzo Chairman 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Gail Marks Vice Chair 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Elliot Rawls Vice Chair 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Karen Zelden Vice Chair 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Andrew Weimer Treasurer 0.50 X X 0 0 0 James Hill III President, Chair Executive Committee 0.50 X X 0 0 0 John Svoboda Vice Chair 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Marcy Carlin Secretary 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Leif Selkregg Chairman Emeritus 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Steve Berkowitz Chairman Emeritus 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Heiji Choy Black Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Rob Buono Vice Chair 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Robert Buchsbaum Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Anne Cox Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Andrew Dembitz Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Doug Gourley Vice Chair 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Vicki Hood Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Carol Levy Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Carlos Martinez Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 James Pass Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Isa Pressman Vice Chair 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Katie Scott Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Tom Shapiro Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 William Singer Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Sheri Spielman Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Carmita Vaughan Vice Chair 0.50 X X 0 0 0 David Weinberg Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Jim Wicks Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Akilah Williams Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Hilary Wolfe Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Shalini Sharma Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Adnaan Hamid Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Amy Bluhm Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Aubrey Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Nila Leiserowitz Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Antonia Contro Executive Director 35.00 X 165000 0 6019 Darlene Dies Director of Finance 35.00 X 103500 0 6534 268500 0 12553 2 0 1 0 0 283931 92700 3638312 205344 4014943 Design 900099 42825 42825 42825 126858 -1204 128062 185099 253508 -68409 -68409 -68409 378351 272463 3874 105888 -3874 102014 963 101051 470734 283931 322580 148154 148154 8519 8519 8519 4374904 42825 -68650 385786 X 281053 176923 30853 73277 899431 566191 98737 234503 15654 10138 1229 4287 55906 36207 4388 15311 104050 67387 8168 28495 25150 25150 366150 275898 10319 79933 72155 36615 14272 21268 383 383 121401 103365 14718 3318 23180 20077 222 2881 5732 3164 1517 1051 5573 4696 669 208 135023 113788 16202 5033 Art Supplies 34220 34220 Staff Expenses 9797 1535 3092 5170 Dues/Subscriptions 6215 1196 280 4739 38360 31689 3365 3306 2199433 1483472 233181 482780 618187 512267 783361 2273315 3549602 3965493 28349 26725 166733 174029 6031597 1363014 4634529 4668583 5285297 6236885 500000 500000 258519 408538 15824577 18765835 113821 146524 11319 9069 5080000 5080000 5205140 5235593 X 6202464 6932249 4416973 6597993 10619437 13530242 15824577 18765835 2175471 735334 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1895737 1811568 1741908 5817327 4014943 15281483 1895737 1811568 1741908 5817327 4014943 15281483 3908184 11373299 49417 115808 141845 127935 128062 563067 17020 46105 63125 15907675 2692207 0.71500 0.66640 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 150000 150000 1 1335613 1335613 4161140 1080078 3081062 534844 282936 251908 4668583 X 5326748 735334 216510 951844 4374904 0 4374904 2415943 216510 216510 2199433 0 2199433 Part X, Line 2: Marwen, an Illinois nonprofit corporation, is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law, except for taxes pertaining to unrelated business income. Rental income related to the building is subject to the unrelated business income tax guidelines. Marwen follows the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under the guidance, Marwen may recognize the tax benefits from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of Marwen and various positions related to potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities. Marwen files Forms 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois.
