ARTventure provides customized artist residencies, workshops, and performances to schools and senior centers and other community organizations. JCAL is also working with a local high school to develop the 21st Century Challenge, a program that uses the visual arts to develop skills needed for success in the 21st century. Through its Arts Center Workshops, JCAL offers over 40 different classes for adults and children in subjects ranging from belly dancing and guitar to ceramics, painting, and quilting. JCAL's Youth Performance Initiative will engage local youth by teaching them music, dance and theater arts and would prepare them for performances at a variety of community venues such senior centers, hospitals and nursing homes. 331875 Performing Arts: The Jamaica Performing Arts Center had a promising beginning in its inaugural season, attracting large audiences from a broad swath of the City's ethnic communities. The performances that celebrated eastern Queens' rich cultural diversity included concerts by world renowned artists such as Emeline Michel, Meta and the Cornerstones, and Xiolara Laugart; Amazing Grace, a dance performance by Vissi Dance Theater; and free concerts by Red Baratt and the Celso Duarte Sextet presented in partnership with Carnegie Hall. The second season's performances will include the Making Moves Dance Series, featuring the well-attended Mientras Tango, Vissi Dance Theater, and a day-long dance festival; African singer Somi; children's musical group Hot Peas & Butter; the 2012 Queens Symphony Orchestra's Arts & Music Festival; and a screening of "Before They Die," a documentary about the worst race riot in US history. 146465 Visual Arts: JCAL's Visual Arts Program fosters the development of work by the underrepresented artists of the New York City area-particularly artists of color, women, and emerging artists-providing artists with career resources and support while bringing contemporary visual art to an underserved constituency. In addition to presenting up to four major gallery exhibitions each year, we also commission emerging artists to create public works; offer a year-long Workspace artist-in-residency program; organize networking events, lectures, and panel discussions; and mount special, large-scale projects. JCAL also expanded its service to artists with Studio LLC. This program teaches artists to look at their studio as a small business, identify their entrepreneurial and professional goals, and create a long-term plan for accomplishing them. Studio LLC includes fellowship awards, mentorships, and a year-long seminar series, as well as an exhibition of the work of those participating in the program. 848872 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 21 0 true 47 true false false false false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true false false false false true true true true true true true false false false NY X Jennifer Chiang 7186587400 161-04 Jamaica Avenue Jamaica NY 11432 Lal Motwani 2.00 X 0 0 0 Constance Maltese 2.00 X 0 0 0 Philippa L Kateron 2.00 X 0 0 0 Victor Castillo 2.00 X 0 0 0 Ivelaw Griffith 2.00 X 0 0 0 Doreen Clark-Williams 2.00 X 0 0 0 Shanqua Harrison 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Peter Magnani 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Michael A James 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Tonya L Cantlo-Cockfield 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Carl Fields Jr 6.00 X X 0 0 0 Philip Willis 40.00 X 110000 0 14263 110000 14263 1 false false false 0 667759 144945 812704 Fee income/admissions 171157 171157 171157 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Miscellaneous Income 1977 1977 1977 985838 171157 1977 0 0 0 0 98878 62245 27423 9210 0 526674 421866 52730 52078 0 91638 73727 13096 4815 88972 71582 12715 4675 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 37032 28632 4733 3667 1415 1394 21 2426 1840 586 0 0 0 21500 16623 2747 2130 9236 6286 2299 651 Telephone 18395 14222 2351 1822 Supplies 24419 21430 1684 1305 Internet and software 28231 21827 3608 2796 Professional Fees 86222 74222 12000 48511 32976 7118 8417 1083549 848872 143111 91566 128646 97775 0 99501 69400 3743 8729 0 0 0 0 2907 2139 370903 188909 178146 181994 0 0 0 0 0 412943 360037 30743 42410 7482 15620 99997 124997 138222 183027 X 73381 87564 201340 89446 274721 177010 412943 360037 -97711 X false true true X false false X 1499865 884280 1035199 1031485 812704 5263533 0 0 1499865 884280 1035199 1031485 812704 5263533 113120 5150413 3863 1078 104 4 2 5051 0 5729 8409 7675 4625 1975 28413 5296997 983679 0.97230 0.97360 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 215575 72011 143564 155328 116898 38430 181994 Loans Payable 124997 124997 985838 1083549 -97711 -97711 1182876 197038 197038 985838 985838 1280587 197038 197038 1083549 1083549 Part X Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Center does not believe its financial statements include any material, uncertain tax positions.
