Waterville Creates Annual Report 2022

ANNUAL REPORT 2022

Waterville Creates dedicates the 2022 Annual Report to the hundreds of donors who contributed to the community capital campaign for the Paul J. Schupf Art Center. Your generous support will help to ensure a vibrant and enduring future for the arts in Waterville.

022 was a year of exciting changes and new beginnings for Waterville Creates, culminating in December with the opening of the Paul J. Schupf Art Center.

As we reflect on this transformative year, we want to express our sincere appreciation to our incredible staff for their passion, creativity, and tenacity during what has been a whirlwind of growth and change. Each member of the team contributes immeasurably to our mission of arts experiences for all, and we are so grateful for their efforts.

We also want to thank our donors, sponsors, members, and volunteers for their unwavering support. There could be no stronger symbol of our community’s belief and investment in the arts than the Paul J. Schupf Art Center. As we settle into our new home in the heart of downtown, we do so with a renewed commitment to our core values of creativity, community, collaboration, and access for all, which reverberate throughout this report.

We know firsthand that participation in the arts changes lives and builds happier, healthier communities, and we couldn’t be more excited for the opportunities that lie ahead.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY + INCLUSION

We support, encourage, and honor diverse stories and perspectives. We provide relevant, accessible programming while making space for community conversations that deepen understanding and foster discourse around critical issues of our time.

PAUL J. SCHUPF ART CENTER

After years of planning, design, and fundraising, the Paul J. Schupf Art Center (Schupf Arts) opened to the public on December 17 with Waterville Creates’ annual Joy to the Ville event. Over 700 patrons of all ages braved the season’s first snowstorm to enjoy free, family-friendly arts activities throughout the beautiful, new program spaces, which include the Ticonic Gallery, Clay Studio, and Classroom, the three theaters of the Maine Film Center, and Studio 1902, the Waterville Opera House’s rehearsal and event space. Attendees received complimentary “arts for all” lunchboxes packed with free art supplies and information about upcoming programs.

VOLUNTEER PROGRAM

Under the focused direction of a full-time event + volunteer coordinator, WC’s volunteer program grew not only in number of volunteers but also in its management and oversight. WC now requires a standardized volunteer application, holds regular volunteer orientations and appreciation events, and offers a formal, robust rewards program. In 2022, over 150 people completed the volunteer application and now receive bimonthly updates on volunteer opportunities across the organization.

COMMUNITY INPUT

In March, Waterville Creates (WC) hosted a series of focus groups with college students, young adults, and families to gather input and inform programming at Schupf Arts. While each group identified issues unique to the audience it represented, the following overarching themes were shared by all groups: participants are looking for experiences that offer a sense of connection and community; they defined “the arts” very broadly, including visual arts, music, film, theatre, dance, jewelry, craft, and culinary arts; and they all identified cost as a barrier to participation. As a follow up to the focus groups, WC conducted an electronic patron survey in July to solicit a broader range of community feedback. With over 400 responses, the survey provided valuable insights regarding barriers to participation, marketing preferences, and interest in new programs and activities.

ARTS DISPATCH

In December, WC launched Arts Dispatch, a new, quarterly publication that includes event and programming information across all WC divisions, highlights from community partners, including the Colby College Museum of Art, the Waterville Public Library, and the Children’s Discovery Museum, and select editorial content, including staff profiles and featured projects. Replacing multiple stand-alone publications, this handy guide is mailed to all WC members and made available at Schupf Arts and local businesses.

2022 SOCIAL MEDIA STATS

EDUCATION + OUTREACH

Youth Arts Access Fund

WC publicly launched the Youth Arts Access Fund (YAAF) in March 2022. Designed to remove cost as a barrier to participation in the arts, YAAF provides free access for youth ages 18 and under to any program WC offers, including concerts, plays, movies, art classes, and more. In 2022, the fund was accessed 682 times, providing over $25,000 worth of free arts experiences across all divisions of WC.

Common Threads

In July and August, WC engaged social practice artists Elizabeth Jabar and Colleen Kinsella to present the Common Threads project, a series of free arts experiences that brought artists and residents of all ages together to create art and explore what it means to be part of a community. The process culminated in a beautiful, inaugural exhibition at Ticonic Gallery and the installation of a stunning two-story mural in Schupf Arts. This project was supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and the Maine Arts Commission and realized in partnership with the Colby College Museum of Art and its Lunder Institute for American Art.

Art in the Park

WC once again joined forces with the Waterville Public Library and the Colby College Museum of Art to present Art in the Park, a weekly, family-friendly series of outdoor arts programming held in conjunction with the Downtown Waterville Farmers’ Market. Over 400 people of all ages had the opportunity to create art, enjoy story time, and participate in a variety of activities exploring this year’s theme, Oceans of Possibility.

Arts in Bloom

In May, WC hosted Arts in Bloom, an annual celebration of spring and creativity presented in collaboration with community partners. Activities included a story walk on the North Street trails, planting bulbs and seeds at the Children’s Discovery Museum, creating cyanotypes with the artists of The Farm Tools Project, a scavenger hunt through town, and the distribution of free art supplies.

National Visibility for Art Kits for All

In March, WC Education + Outreach Manager Serena Sanborn was invited to present about the Art Kits for All program with colleagues from the Colby College Museum of Art and Waterville Public Schools at the National Arts Education Association’s annual conference in New York City. Developed during the pandemic, this collaborative program has distributed over 8,000 free art kits to the community. Each kit includes art supplies and detailed instructions for a home art activity and ties to a specific community theme, children’s book, and/ or art exhibition.

2022 ACCOMPLISHMENTS

THEATRICAL PRODUCTIONS

The Waterville Opera House (WOH) produced four plays in 2022, including A Flea in Her Ear, Tuck Everlasting, Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap, and The Sound of Music, which sold out 4 of 6 performances and became WOH’s highest grossing theatre production of all time.

LIVE PERFORMANCES

WOH presented a diverse and exciting range of live music, comedy, and variety acts, hosting a total of 19 live performances in 2022. Among the acts to take the WOH stage were Keb’ Mo’, Enter the Haggis, Lonestar, The Bacon Brothers, Tedeschi Trucks, the Glenn Miller Orchestra, and Whose Live Anyway?

WATERVILLE ROCKS

The annual Waterville Rocks outdoor summer music series returned with four concerts at Head of Falls in downtown Waterville. This fun, free program for all ages kicked off with Start Making Sense on the opening night of the Maine International Film Festival and included performances by Spencer and the Walrus, Albert Cummings, and Ballroom Thieves.

YOUTH PROGRAMMING

For the first time since the pandemic began, WOH’s beloved Theatre Camp returned in August with Rumpelstiltskin. Presented in partnership with Missoula Children’s Theatre, the week-long theatre camp included auditions, rehearsals, and workshops and concluded with a fully realized performance that was attended by hundreds of community members. WOH’s popular school shows also returned in 2022 with Theatre at Monmouth’s As You Like It and Virginia Rep Children’s Theatre’s Emperor’s New Clothes

“Opening night was a family memory we will hold dear forever. Both of our girls couldn’t stop talking about it the entire ride home. Thank you for all your hard work bringing incredible entertainment to Central Maine.”

– Sound of Music attendee

2022 ACCOMPLISHMENTS

MAINE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

In July, the 25th Maine International Film Festival (MIFF) presented three-time Oscar nominee Debra Winger with its Mid-Life Achievement Award and screened a curated selection of films representative of her illustrious career. Mexican filmmaker Tatiana Huezo was honored with the first-ever retrospective of her works, and Alan Sanborn, co-founder of Railroad Square Cinema, was celebrated with a Lifetime Achievement Award. MIFF25 also received more film submissions from independent filmmakers than in any other year and awarded the first Tourmaline Prizes for best Maine feature-length and short films.

FROM RAILROAD SQUARE TO DOWNTOWN

The Maine Film Center (MFC) celebrated its transition from Railroad Square Cinema to Schupf Arts with two well-attended film series. In November, “The Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship” series highlighted fan favorites, important milestones in cinema history, and interactive screenings, closing with Casablanca, the first film to screen at Railroad Square Cinema in 1978. In December, “A (New) Home for the Holidays” welcomed the public into MFC’s new theaters with a series of free holiday movies for all ages.

SCHOOL FILM SCREENINGS

With support from WC’s education + outreach team, MFC hosted a pilot program with Waterville Public Schools to offer film screenings and discussions related to the schools’ curricula. Screenings included Harriet and Seabiscuit for high school students and Charlotte’s Web for third graders. As a result, over 300 students had the opportunity to view a film on the big screen and engage in meaningful, facilitated discussion as a way to enhance their inschool learning.

“ The Maine Film Center has continued to inspire and contribute to Waterville’s renaissance, celebrate the values of creativity and ingenuity, and inspire a future generation of filmmakers and artists.”

– Central Maine Growth Council

2022 ACCOMPLISHMENTS

EXHIBITIONS

Prior to moving to its new home at Schupf Arts, Ticonic Gallery hosted five exhibitions in the Hathaway Creative Center, including The Farm Tools Project, a visual exploration of the use of hand tools and sustainable agricultural methods on small Maine farms, and Piecework: Hathaway Stories + Storytellers, a multi-media depiction of the labor conditions and female Franco-American workers’ stories at the Hathaway Shirt Company. Ticonic Gallery opened its new space at the Paul J. Schupf Art Center with the Common Threads exhibition, which showcased the individual and collective stories gathered throughout the summer and provided a glimpse of the community’s shared hopes, dreams, and ideas for Waterville.

CLAY STUDIO

In 2022, Ticonic Clay Studio launched a new visiting clay artist series taught by ceramic artists from around the state. The day-long workshops focused on specialty ceramic methods and techniques, including wild clay, pinch pots, and creation of unique, undulating clay vessels. With the opening of Schupf Arts, the clay studio now has its own designated space, allowing for expanded class offerings and increased benefits for studio members.

EDUCATION

The Ticonic Classroom was bustling in 2022 with artmakers of all ages and skill levels participating in a wide variety of educational programming. Highlights included two sold-out artist and maker camps for youth during April and summer vacations, a series of well-attended watercolor workshops in conjunction with MidMaine Regional Adult Community Education, and the reinstitution of regular Community Draw events, which provide artists of all skill levels the opportunity to sketch live models, outfitted with costumes provided by the Waterville Opera House.

“ Ticonic Clay Studio introduced me to a craft that I love and connected me with other artists. The culture of the studio is welcoming, comfortable and supportive. I am so grateful to have this incredible asset here in Waterville.”

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Waterville Creates receives significant contributions from individuals, businesses, foundations, and government sources. Ticket revenues and program fees cover less than 50% of our annual budget, which makes this public support critical to our ability to offer outstanding arts programming.

These financials reflect our annual operating budget and do not include depreciation, revenues and expenses related to the sale of real estate, or funds contributed to the capital campaign for the Paul J. Schupf Arts Center. The FY2022 deficit was funded in part by COVID Relief Funds received in FY2021 that were designated to help the organization ramp back up to pre-pandemic levels of staffing and programming in 2022.
