Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
We oppose injustice through lyrical arts. We strive to keep artists passionate about the arts and creating by providing creative space where artists, educators and social workers can be sustained financially, holistically, mentally. We see a lot of burn out and fatigue in social sector and lost ambition in those spaces. With Lyrical Academy, we focus on artist development and management for local and upcoming artists. With Lyrical Studios, we provide a safe space to record and create music for local and BIPOC artists. We also use arts as social awareness that leads to systemic change. We do this through artistic mediums like spoken word, music and film.$7,000$7,000

ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0As an arts organization that is immersed in the work, we had difficulty finding someone that was competent in tax preparation. We parted ways with our previous bookkeeper, as it was no longer a good fit and took a while to find another tax preparer. We have been working on Quickbooks for a while to make it as accurate as possible, which delayed the filing.
