In North Avenue Art Works, kids experience the artistic process. In Farm to Market, children "harvest" fruits and vegetables, transport them and set up a shop to sell or barter; Farm to Market also houses four imaginary play areas, including a store, veterinary clinic, fire station, and a library. In Lights, Camera, Action! kids can dress up and perform a song, dance, or play. (We also have a puppet theater built by Oak Design and Construction.) Creative and imaginative play is vital to a healthy child; Wonder Works provides countless opportunities for both, giving children an opportunity, found few other places, to grow up in a supportive, fun environment where they are free to be kids. 362417 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 2 0 true 22 false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 17 17 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true false true false false IL X X X David Hoambrecker 7083834815 6445 West North Avenue Oak Park IL 60302 X Elizabeth Bevly Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sara Yount President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lisa Kiker Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Colin Dowdall Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Stephanie Vitale Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jermal Chandler Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ashley Collins Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dareon Woodward Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Preston Jones Jr Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bob Planek Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carrie Summy Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mike McGarry Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Corina Davis Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Thomas Gallagher Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Allison Price Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nick Zimmerman Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lailani Workman Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 69856 214051 103731 387638 Admissions and rentals 150194 150194 150194 0 0 0 0 0 124810 51647 73163 0 0 Expense reimb. and other 4009 4009 4009 615004 154203 0 0 0 0 0 0 263003 196707 40744 25552 0 0 25859 18899 3587 3373 0 0 19368 19368 0 0 0 0 0 16716 16716 0 0 12275 11048 1227 0 0 0 11115 11115 0 28380 28380 12672 10946 1726 Repairs and maintenance 23498 23498 Educational programs 21235 21235 Bank and credit card fees 7642 7642 Exhibit expenses 5555 5555 18442 10676 4804 2962 465760 362417 71456 31887 323810 290660 0 11705 107615 0 0 0 0 0 8959 6489 990266 620135 254889 370131 0 0 0 0 1 599363 774896 435 2911 40596 69547 221652 216514 34000 34000 296683 322972 X 232482 431980 70198 19944 302680 451924 599363 774896 149244 X false true X true false X 218543 206710 203107 424093 460802 1513255 0 0 218543 206710 203107 424093 460802 1513255 92022 1421233 7 10 25 2 44 0 0 1513299 687710 0.93920 0.93300 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 387422 205435 181987 389589 239393 150196 -137 137 213255 175444 37811 370131 Conditional asset retirement obligation 34000 34000 X 615004 615004 615004 465760 465760 465760 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Museum is exempt from federal taxes under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code.
