FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION

The organization is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes including providing a venue for exhibits of art and artistic collections; sponsoring seminars, lectures and gatherings that encourage and promote the creative arts; and providing an educational setting to describe and celebrate the life and creativity of ashley bryan.

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4A

Earnest until the late spring with clark making several trips to little cranberry island. Clearly, there was a prodigious amount of material, and the center decided to establish an office in cambridge to continue the review of archival materials. This relocation enabled clark to engage two graduate students one paid, one volunteer to assist with this process. They were able to make significant headway and establish some consistent cataloguing guidelines. Additionally scholars from the african-american study center at harvard and the world war ii museum in natick, ma visited to look at ashley's wwii material and affirmed its significance. Clark also provided interview material for the documentary being created about ashley, which premiered in july of 2016. Clark through his association with the eric carle museum engaged in discussions for a joint effort to exhibit ashley's children's illustration work at the high museum in atlanta, ga - the premier museum in the southeast. This exhibition will open in april of 2017. Among the board members and clark, there were ongoing discussions and meetings with outside consultants to establish strategies for the long-term viability of the center. Clearly fund-raising was of paramount interest. To this end the center received a major grant from the partridge foundation for 125,000. And the process of application resulted in establishing formal budgets with projected budgets for future fiscal years. Another 60,000 was raised through the first formal annual appeal. Thus, the center made significant progress in structuring itself as a non-profit entity.

IRS990/Desc0IN THE SUMMER OF 2015, THE EXHIBITION ORGANIZED BY THE ASHLEY BRYAN CENTER HEREAFTER - THE CENTER THAT WAS ON VIEW AT THE GALLERY ON ISLESFORD AND SUBSEQUENTLY AT THE COLLEGE OF THE ATLANTIC IN 2014, OPENED AT THE GILLEY MUSEUM IN SOUTHWEST HARBOR TO CONTINUED ACCLAIM. THIS WAS ITS THIRD LOCAL SHOWING, AND ATTENDANCE WAS ROBUST. IN 2015, THE CENTER ALSO ENGAGED H. NICHOLS B. CLARK, RECENTLY RETIRED AS THE FOUNDING DIRECTOR AND CHIEF CURATOR EMERITUS OF THE ERIC CARLE MUSEUM OF PICTURE BOOK ART, TO SERVE AS THEIR FOUNDING DIRECTOR WITH THE CHARGE TO INVENTORY AND ASSESS ASHLY BRYAN'S ARCHIVE AND TO OFFER GUIDANCE FOR ITS ULTIMATE DISPOSITION. GIVEN THE INCLEMENT WINTER, WORK DID NOT START IN EARNEST UNTIL THE LATE SPRING WITH CLARK MAKING SEVERAL TRIPS TO LITTLE CRANBERRY ISLAND. CLEARLY, THERE WAS A PRODIGIOUS AMOUNT OF MATERIAL, AND THE CENTER DECIDED TO ESTABLISH AN OFFICE IN CAMBRIDGE TO CONTINUE THE REVIEW OF ARCHIVAL MATERIALS. THIS RELOCATION ENABLED CLARK TO ENGAGE TWO GRADUATE STUDENTS ONE PAID, ONE VOLUNTEER TO ASSIST WITH THIS PROCESS. THEY WERE ABLE TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT HEADWAY AND ESTABLISH SOME CONSISTENT CATALOGUING GUIDELINES. ADDITIONALLY SCHOLARS FROM THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDY CENTER AT HARVARD AND THE WORLD WAR II MUSEUM IN NATICK, MA VISITED TO LOOK AT ASHLEY'S WWII MATERIAL AND AFFIRMED ITS SIGNIFICANCE. CLARK ALSO PROVIDED INTERVIEW MATERIAL FOR THE DOCUMENTARY BEING CREATED ABOUT ASHLEY, WHICH PREMIERED IN JULY OF 2016. CLARK THROUGH HIS ASSOCIATION WITH THE ERIC CARLE MUSEUM ENGAGED IN DISCUSSIONS FOR A JOINT EFFORT TO EXHIBIT ASHLEY'S CHILDREN'S ILLUSTRATION WORK AT THE HIGH MUSEUM IN ATLANTA, GA - THE PREMIER MUSEUM IN THE SOUTHEAST. THIS EXHIBITION WILL OPEN IN APRIL OF 2017. AMONG THE BOARD MEMBERS AND CLARK, THERE WERE ONGOING DISCUSSIONS AND MEETINGS WITH OUTSIDE CONSULTANTS TO ESTABLISH STRATEGIES FOR THE LONG-TERM VIABILITY OF THE CENTER. CLEARLY FUND-RAISING WAS OF PARAMOUNT INTEREST. TO THIS END THE CENTER RECEIVED A MAJOR GRANT FROM THE PARTRIDGE FOUNDATION FOR 125,000. AND THE PROCESS OF APPLICATION RESULTED IN ESTABLISHING FORMAL BUDGETS WITH PROJECTED BUDGETS FOR FUTURE FISCAL YEARS. ANOTHER 60,000 WAS RAISED THROUGH THE FIRST FORMAL ANNUAL APPEAL. THUS, THE CENTER MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS IN STRUCTURING ITSELF AS A NON-PROFIT ENTITY.
