annual report
2019-2020
WITH GRATITUDE
Creativity takes courage –Henri Matisse
Unusual problems warrant unusual solutions, and when confronted with the most unusual of circumstances this year, we recognized our position to address them with a unique perspective: the belief in the power of art to comfort, to inspire, and to heal.
We are incredibly proud to present this annual report, an account of what we accomplished when the world bore so much uncertainty. For more than fifty years, the Arts Council has been guided by our mission of building community through the arts, but now, more than ever, we are energized to continue providing our community with creative tools to combat isolation and celebrate the strength in our togetherness, even when physically apart.
It takes courage to approach adversity with creative solutions. As this community’s arts nonprofit, it was not just our responsibility, but our honor. Your support is critical to our continued success. Thank you for recognizing that art has the power to save lives. With sincere appreciation,
Sarah Collum Hatfield, President, Board of Trustees
What a year! Although 2020 has become defined by a pandemic and political and social unrest, this annual report is a lucid reminder of all the Arts Council of Princeton has achieved and what we are building upon for our tomorrow. This annual report reflects the many dazzling accomplishments of a tireless staff, dedicated students, inspiring members, loyal volunteers, and supportive community. I could not be more honored and excited to have joined the Arts Council as the executive director. I know you share my pride and amazement that we pulled off such feats of creativity, compassion, community and beauty amidst so much turmoil. Of course, none of this is possible without the support of a community that truly values the arts. We heartily acknowledge that our successes are yours as well. I look forward to meeting you in the coming year.
Adam Welch, Executive Director

EVENTS & CULTURAL CELEBRATIONS
It seems so long ago that we boogied at family dance parties, picnicked with neighbors at our Summer Concert Series, and celebrated the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at our annual community breakfast. Looking back at the past year, we are reminded of all the joy, creativity, and cultural appreciation our programs inspire. And last year, those events included: Summer Courtyard Concerts Monthly Cafe Improv Performances Community Dance Parties Crafts & Community at the Princeton Farmers Market Joint Effort Safe Streets Community Event Fall Open House Day of the Dead Martin Luther King Jr. Day Hometown Halloween Parade Tricks & Treats An Evening with Bollywood
Community Stage with OnStage Seniors Soul-Filled Ceramics: Mugs Benefit Sauce for the Goose Art Market Christmas Eve Caroling Fiesta del Dia de Los Reyes Magos and Flamenco Performance Cabernet Cabaret Story & Verse: Storytelling & Poetic Open Mic In Conversation: Free Virtual Artist Talks
EDUCATION
For the Arts Council of Princeton, arts education means ensuring everyone in our diverse community has opportunities for discovery and creativity. With more than 300 unique classes, workshops, and camps offered, there is something for everyone. An agile pivot from in-person to Zoom-based classes kept thousands engaged, joining us for virtual Flamenco classes (one of our most popular remote classes), plein-air painting, and free art-making sessions in partnership with the Princeton University Art Museum. Because of generous donors like you, we provided more than $20,000 in scholarships so that anyone, regardless of age, ability, or aptitude, had access to the life-transforming benefits of creating art.
EXHIBITIONS & PUBLIC ART
Our award-winning Taplin Gallery features both nationally– known artists and talented emerging locals. We offer the Solley Theater lobby for partnerships with local community groups in need of public exhibition space. This year included the Princeton Symphony Orchestra’s “Listen Up” Exhibition and the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood’s Joint Effort program. Wonder by Marilyn Keating, Eric Schultz, The Oiseaux Sisters Paintings from the Garden State by students of ACP Instructor, Charles David Viera Chip Fisher Memorial Exhibition by Aaron Fisher, Tracey Hill Your Inner Space by Ifat Shatzky, Mira DeMartino The Beauty That Surrounds Us: Celebrating Princeton by Dave Burwell Trilogy: This, That, and the Other by Fran Eber, Donna Payton, Kathleen Preziosi Soul-Filled Mugs by the Arts Council’s Ceramic Studio Annual Members Exhibition The Spirit of Truth-Seeking in partnership with the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University Inside Out…When Worlds Collide by Jon Sarkin, Jennifer Levine, Kenneth Lewis McVicker at 90: A Retrospective by Charles McVicker
The Anne Reeves Artists-in-Residence Program: THE MURALISTS!
Fall 2019 Artist-in-Residence Marlon Davila transformed a familiar neighborhood wall with his mural, Journey, an homage to migration and making a home where you land. In the spring, Ebony Flag worked with our Arts Exchange students to create The Future Me, filled with colorful figures representing their aspirations of what they will grow up to become. These dynamic works of art reflect the world we want for all children: a place where they are free to grow up with dreams in their hearts and the ability to express them.
RESPONSE TO COVID-19
Within a week of closing our doors in mid-March 2020, our staff regrouped, reimagined, and reemerged with a response to the COVID-19 andemic. We asked, “What does our community need to get through this? Who will be especially vulnerable to isolation and loneliness? Where does art fit into our response as humans to this crisis?” apART together was the Arts Council of Princeton’s response to
COVID-19, combating social isolation with community-building projects that created connection and nurtured creativity. Projects included a daily community sketchbook project prompting hundreds of submissions, a COVID-19 Haiku project, a call for plein-air and still-life paintings inspired by staying at home, and a photography project documenting a “Day-in-the-Life of Our Community.” It’s what we do as the community’s arts organization. Our Sew Many Masks initiative distributed thousands of fabric face masks to the community, including more than 1,900 hand-sewn face masks to front-line workers, the elderly, members of our undocumented community, local businesses, and Mr. Rogers’ Neighbors Kindness Project. We were proud to participate in the transformation of Witherspoon StrEAT and turn downtown Princeton into a socially-distanced, open-air experience, complete with custom-created sidewalk decals for extra safety and a mural to remind us of the power of community. We love our downtown merchants and were thrilled to see them open for business.
OUTREACH PROGRAMS
Free access to high-quality arts education is the cornerstone of what we do.
ArtReach
ArtReach is our free arts education initiative for low-income kids across Princeton. Toddlers and pre-K students at Princeton Nursery School enjoy twice-weekly classes with a professional arts educator, and more than 80 students across three Princeton elementary schools take our weekly ArtReach class, which we offer to Princeton Family YMCA and their Princeton Young
Achievers program. Through ArtReach, children receive arts instruction across a variety of disciplines including painting, drama, dance, film, and music. This bilingual program promotes artistic development and creative problem solving through hands-on art making.
Arts and Wellness
Our Arts and Wellness programs deliver free and low-cost weekly arts instruction to patients and low-income seniors in three local medical and assisted-living facilities. We’re mindful of the importance of well-being for caregivers and offer pay-what-you-can classes for those who need time to focus on their own creative needs.
Creative Aging
The senior residents at Elm Court, a Princeton Community Housing community, had been enjoying their weekly Creative Aging class until COVID restricted access to the facility. We are pleased to report that COVID restrictions did not stop our dedicated instructors who kept up weekly programming with one-on-one phone calls and check-ins. Tenacre nursing home residents met with our instructor once a week on their beautiful property until in-person visits were no longer possible. The residents of Greenwood House were also part of the Creative Aging program that we hope to resume in person later this year.
Arts Exchange
For 27 years, our Arts Exchange program has partnered with HomeFront to provide weekly arts programming for youth in transitional housing. Arts Exchange offers a rich assortment of visual, written, performing, and fine arts education that promotes artistic development, and its associated academic benefits, to boost confidence and to enhance positive community identity. This year-round program includes homework help, a hot meal, and transportation to and from the Arts Council of Princeton.
Eden Arts & Adapted Art
Eden Autism joined our circle of social services partners this year, and residential clients enjoyed weekly 90-minute lessons at the Arts Council of Princeton. When COVID limited in-person classes, weekly Zoom sessions kept them creative and connected. A new weekly program for neuro-atypical teens, Adapted Art, brought art making to this underserved population. This was quickly converted to a Zoom-based class, and these teens meet weekly with supplies provided by the Arts Council of Princeton.
ways to support Gala & Benefit Events
How could we have known that 2020’s Dining by Design would have been our last fundraising event of the fiscal year? It seems so long ago that our gracious hosts across Princeton opened their homes to old friends and new. Funds raised supported our outreach programs for underserved youth and low-income seniors, and topped-up our Scholarship Fund, making inspiring arts experiences accessible to all, regardless of means. COVID made it impossible to hold our favorite art party of the year, Pinot to Picasso. Like you, we missed seeing our friends and the fabulous artists who make it Princeton’s favorite art party.
Membership & Volunteers
Arts Council Memberships support our free community and outreach programs that keep Princeton creative, connected, and equitable. All members receive discounts on classes, workshops, and ticketed events, as well as the ArtsCARD, which provides savings at beloved local businesses. On June 18, 2020 we hosted our Annual Members Meeting as a virtual event. We welcomed newly elected Board of Trustees members Morgan Battle, Patrick de Maynadier, Mimi Mount, and Lydia Pfeiffer and honored and thanked Julia Gilbert, Kookie Johnson, Michele Kolb, and Michael Rist, who completed their terms. The recipients of the 2019/20 Charles Evans Scholarships for outstanding high school student talent were also acknowledged. Our dedicated and talented volunteers are the reason our doors are open to the public six days a week. Last year, Arts Council of Princeton volunteers donated more than 1,263 hours of their time answering phones, greeting the public, assisting in studios, helping with community events, and much more. We always welcome volunteers! Get in touch!
Corporate Matching Gifts
Magnify the impact of your gift through your employer’s philanthropic giving program. Many corporations allow employees and retirees to request matching gifts electronically. Local examples include: Bristol-Myers Squibb, Johnson & Johnson, and Merrill Lynch. Please contact your Human Resources department to learn more about matching gift opportunities.
Memorial Gifts
Memorial gifts in honor of a special person can be made to support existing programs or establish a new initiative in memory of a loved one. Examples include scholarships, support for outreach programs, and even art studios. We’ll work with you to identify the perfect way to acknowledge your loved one’s legacy.
Charitable IRA Rollover
Taxpayers age 70 ½ or older may transfer up to $100,000 annually from their traditional or Roth IRA accounts directly to the Arts Council without first having to recognize the distribution as income. Please contact your IRA custodian to authorize your donation.
Stock and Appreciated Securities
Appreciated securities that have been held for more than 12 months can be gifted to the Arts Council of Princeton. Stock and securities donations can be claimed as a charitable income tax donation for the full value of the shares. Gifts of stock are sold upon receipt. Stock contributions are credited for the value of the stock on the date the gift is made.
Financials
It’s been a dire year for non-profit organizations, and the Arts Council is no exception. Earned income, which normally accounts for a very healthy 60% of our revenue, has dropped significantly as in-person classes have been largely cancelled and Zoom-based classes are offered at significantly reduced tuition. The receipt of a PPP loan enabled the ACP to keep the majority of the staff employed through the end of the Fiscal Year 2020. (FY2021 note: Two long term, part-time employees were furloughed in July of 2020). With the cancellation of Pinot to Picasso, our major Spring fundraiser, and Communiversity, our largest revenue-generating event, we’v e been working hard to close a FY20 gap of over $25,000. Now is the time to support your local non-profit arts organization
