Mission and Program Overview
Mission
Oregon Arts Watch is a non-profit corporation whose educational purpose is to provide the residents of Oregon and the Portland metropolitan area with the knowledge and information they need to participate in the region's cultural life, which we believe is important to the success of both our democratic process (through developing shared values and approaches to problem-solving) to the economic health of the state (which is heavily dependent on creative economy businesses).
Program Services
| Description | Grants | Expenses |
|---|---|---|
| Oregon Arts Watch continues to have one overarching program: to provide informed and accurate information about the arts in the state of Oregon with special attention to the Portland metropolitan area through its website, newsletter and social media channels. Our journalists and critics wrote more than 500 posts that dealt with theater, dance, and music performances, visual arts exhibitions, lectures, and film, each one edited by one of the editors affiliated with the site. Perhaps because of the decline in arts coverage by other outlets, our posts reached more than 100,000 unique viewers, who often used the site multiple times, according to our analytics. In addition, our Facebook and Twitter accounts were highly active, attracting many thousands of views each month. Our importance to the community was perhaps best demonstrated by the arts organizations we cover, who frequently sent our reviews and reports out to their members and often have become sponsors of the site. We did this without any paid admin staff-our volunteers were crucial in keeping things going-and so we were able to spend the vast majority of our revenue of this program, nearly all in the form of freelance fees to area arts writers. | $15,000 | $61,750 |
