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 665401 51 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. 220319 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. 218255 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. 173341 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. 91510 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. 54101 51408 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. 78485 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. 397437 51408 1501412 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 87 0 1 79 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 1 0 IL X Antonia Contro 3129442418 833 North Orleans Unit 1 Chicago IL 60610 Bryan Traubert 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Deborah Quazzo 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Gail Marks 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Elliot Rawls 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Karen Zelden 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Andrew Weimer 0.50 X X 0 0 0 James Hill III 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Andrea Kayne Kaufman 0.50 X X 0 0 0 John Svoboda 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Marcy Carlin 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Leif Selkregg 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Steve Berkowitz 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Heiji Choy Black 0.50 X 0 0 0 Rob Buono 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Robert Buchsbaum 0.50 X 0 0 0 Anne Cox 0.50 X 0 0 0 Andrew Dembitz 0.50 X 0 0 0 Elissa Efroymson 0.50 X 0 0 0 Doug Gourley 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Vicki Hood 0.50 X 0 0 0 AJ Jindal 0.50 X 0 0 0 Michael Kurzman 0.50 X 0 0 0 Scott Lang 0.50 X 0 0 0 Carol Levy 0.50 X 0 0 0 Carlos Martinez 0.50 X 0 0 0 James Pass 0.50 X 0 0 0 Isa Pressman 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Katie Scott 0.50 X 0 0 0 Tom Shapiro 0.50 X 0 0 0 William Singer 0.50 X 0 0 0 Sheri Spielman 0.50 X 0 0 0 Kimberly Taylor-Smith 0.50 X 0 0 0 Carmita Vaughan 0.50 X X 0 0 0 David Weinberg 0.50 X 0 0 0 Jim Wicks 0.50 X 0 0 0 Akilah Williams 0.50 X 0 0 0 Hilary Wolfe 0.50 X 0 0 0 Vicki Donati 0.50 X 0 0 0 Shalini Sharma 0.50 X 0 0 0 Adnaan Hamid 0.50 X 0 0 0 Amy Bluhm 0.50 X 0 0 0 Antonia Contro 35.00 X 155000 0 4988 Darlene Dies 35.00 X 99739 0 6196 254739 0 11184 1 0 1 0 0 395391 110500 5311436 124189 5817327 Design 900099 51408 51408 Studio 900099 51 51 51459 127371 -564 127935 234065 241554 -7489 -7489 -7489 500000 20550 480841 30732 19159 -10182 8977 831 8146 332431 395391 263623 68808 68808 19900 22275 -2375 -2375 4445 4445 4445 6068523 51459 -7222 206959 X 265923 181571 29392 54960 862270 588754 95304 178212 10921 7836 1017 2068 61085 43831 5686 11568 102808 73768 9570 19470 21150 21150 312562 259146 53416 89723 44984 14866 29873 9500 9500 95039 91301 2452 1286 26297 22545 352 3400 3741 1831 1373 537 9793 8265 1175 353 126231 106528 15147 4556 10536 10536 Art Supplies 32715 32715 Dues/Subscriptions 5694 791 160 4743 Staff Expenses 5483 1923 2674 886 32928 26123 2693 4112 2084399 1501412 213547 369440 379637 618187 326774 783361 205789 3549602 4325 28349 164254 166733 5824989 1190460 4798512 4634529 4703148 5285297 500000 500000 310214 258519 11392653 15824577 119531 113821 23264 11319 5080000 5080000 5222795 5205140 X 5779363 6202464 390495 4416973 6169858 10619437 11392653 15824577 3984124 465455 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 2482118 1895737 1811568 1741908 5817327 13748658 2482118 1895737 1811568 1741908 5817327 13748658 4177857 9570801 101394 49417 115808 141845 127935 536399 13623 17020 46105 76748 14361805 1936889 0.66640 0.75740 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1335613 1335613 4043220 978786 3064434 446156 211674 234482 4634529 X 6754852 465455 220874 686329 6068523 0 6068523 2305273 220874 220874 2084399 0 2084399 Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: 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.

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 31,2012 and 2011, 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.
