Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

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

Scholarship: crafting the future (ctf) provides emerging, mid-career, and established artists of color with opportunities that help plant their roots in the craft community and propel their careers. A ctf scholarship includes tuition, room and board, travel, materials, a stipend, and a per diem. We aim to eliminate any financial barrier that might stand between a learner and their workshop. We also partner with youth arts organizations around the country to help us identify scholarship recipients, based not on their portfolios and writing skills, but rather on the potential for impact. To date, weve served artists from ages 15-68, and we look forward to expanding that range. And all of the schools we partner with match or subsidize our scholarship funds. So for every scholarship we raise money for, a partnering school augments it, increasing our offerings and proving their own commitment to these efforts.

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

Residency: we support multiple residency programs that aim to provide established and emerging artists with time and space to create. Our biggest residency program is in our home base studio in los angeles. The 2020 los angeles artist census found that around 50% of black and latinx artists surveyed have no studio, while only 24% of white respondents lacked studio space, despite white non-hispanic people making up only 28.5% of the la population. The need for a program like ours is undeniable. For the past four years, the residency program has supported emerging bipoc artists in los angeles by offering free studio space, a material stipend, and an all- expenses-paid one- or two-week workshop at an art/craft school. This year we have extended the length of the residency from 6 months to one year and the proposed expansion in 2025 would increase the number of artists from two to four, increase the stipend from 4000 to 6000, and bring in additional short-term visiting artists.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0RESIDENCY: WE SUPPORT MULTIPLE RESIDENCY PROGRAMS THAT AIM TO PROVIDE ESTABLISHED AND EMERGING ARTISTS WITH TIME AND SPACE TO CREATE. OUR BIGGEST RESIDENCY PROGRAM IS IN OUR HOME BASE STUDIO IN LOS ANGELES. THE 2020 LOS ANGELES ARTIST CENSUS FOUND THAT AROUND 50% OF BLACK AND LATINX ARTISTS SURVEYED HAVE NO STUDIO, WHILE ONLY 24% OF WHITE RESPONDENTS LACKED STUDIO SPACE, DESPITE WHITE NON-HISPANIC PEOPLE MAKING UP ONLY 28.5% OF THE LA POPULATION. THE NEED FOR A PROGRAM LIKE OURS IS UNDENIABLE. FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS, THE RESIDENCY PROGRAM HAS SUPPORTED EMERGING BIPOC ARTISTS IN LOS ANGELES BY OFFERING FREE STUDIO SPACE, A MATERIAL STIPEND, AND AN ALL- EXPENSES-PAID ONE- OR TWO-WEEK WORKSHOP AT AN ART/CRAFT SCHOOL. THIS YEAR WE HAVE EXTENDED THE LENGTH OF THE RESIDENCY FROM 6 MONTHS TO ONE YEAR AND THE PROPOSED EXPANSION IN 2025 WOULD INCREASE THE NUMBER OF ARTISTS FROM TWO TO FOUR, INCREASE THE STIPEND FROM 4000 TO 6000, AND BRING IN ADDITIONAL SHORT-TERM VISITING ARTISTS.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1RESIDENCY: WE SUPPORT MULTIPLE RESIDENCY PROGRAMS THAT AIM TO PROVIDE ESTABLISHED AND EMERGING ARTISTS WITH TIME AND SPACE TO CREATE. OUR BIGGEST RESIDENCY PROGRAM IS IN OUR HOME BASE STUDIO IN LOS ANGELES. THE 2020 LOS ANGELES ARTIST CENSUS FOUND THAT AROUND 50% OF BLACK AND LATINX ARTISTS SURVEYED HAVE NO STUDIO, WHILE ONLY 24% OF WHITE RESPONDENTS LACKED STUDIO SPACE, DESPITE WHITE NON-HISPANIC PEOPLE MAKING UP ONLY 28.5% OF THE LA POPULATION. THE NEED FOR A PROGRAM LIKE OURS IS UNDENIABLE. FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS, THE RESIDENCY PROGRAM HAS SUPPORTED EMERGING BIPOC ARTISTS IN LOS ANGELES BY OFFERING FREE STUDIO SPACE, A MATERIAL STIPEND, AND AN ALL- EXPENSES-PAID ONE- OR TWO-WEEK WORKSHOP AT AN ART/CRAFT SCHOOL. THIS YEAR WE HAVE EXTENDED THE LENGTH OF THE RESIDENCY FROM 6 MONTHS TO ONE YEAR AND THE PROPOSED EXPANSION IN 2025 WOULD INCREASE THE NUMBER OF ARTISTS FROM TWO TO FOUR, INCREASE THE STIPEND FROM 4000 TO 6000, AND BRING IN ADDITIONAL SHORT-TERM VISITING ARTISTS.
