Financial Statement Notes
PART III, LINE 1A:
“As part of its sculpture milwaukee program, the organization temporarily maintains a collection of sculptures and art objects that are held for a free outdoor exhibition to the public and for educational purposes. The art objects are consigned to and offered for sale by the organization for a period from approximately april to november of each year. The organization has hired a curator to ensure that the collection is protected, unencumbered, cared for, and preserved. The organization is entitled to receive a commission in the event of any sale of the object during the consignment term, and it is the policy that commission revenues are to be reinvested in the sculpture milwaukee program. In some instances, the organization invests in the production and fabrication of a new art object for the sculpture milwaukee program, in which it has rights to reimbursement for the fabrication costs incurred and, in some cases, a markup on those costs, if the objects are sold in the future. Costs incurred to produce such art objects are recorded as decreases in unrestricted net assets, and proceeds from the sale of the art objects are reflected as increases in unrestricted net assets on the statements of activities. The proceeds from the sale are reinvested in the sculpture milwaukee program. The total production and fabrication costs for works of art that may be recovered upon future sale is $116,426 as of december 31, 2019.”
PART III, LINE 4:
“Sculpture milwaukee is an annual beacon that attracts spectators and art lovers to the city center, which furthers the organization's efforts to build downtown as the thriving, sustainable, innovative, and vibrant heart of the community.”
PART X, LINE 2:
“Milwaukee downtown inc. (mdi) is exempt from income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and is classified as other than a private foundation. Management has reviewed all tax positions recognized in previously filed tax returns and those expected to be taken in future tax returns. As of december 31, 2019, mdi had no amounts related to unrecognized income tax benefits and no amounts related to accrued interest and penalties. Mdi does not anticipate any significant changes to unrecognized income tax benefits over the next year.”
