Marion Voices in the Schools MVITS Folklife + Cultural Arts Residencies & Associated Folk Arts Educational Outreach. Marion Voices' MVITS program -- including our allied Teaching Artists' Training Program TATP -- was our largest suite of community folklife programming for FY2023. In FY2023 we expanded our MVITS program to three new school districts & three new programs & ran a second year of the Teaching Artist Training Program for community artists wanting to become teaching artists. While direct grants to our partner school supported artists' pay Marion Voices again provided funding for curriculum development program coordination artist training & supplies & stipends for a final festival at one school site. In FY2023 MVITS ran residencies with Marion St. Mary School 127 students River Valley Middle School 145 students & Pleasant High School 171 students & supported 15 community teaching artists: eight of whom trained for the first time with our TATP in 2023. 0 43419 Marion Black Joy Summerfest 2023 Founded in 2021 by a team of Marion Voices community co-curators Marion Black Joy Summerfest -- Marion's annual celebration of Black summertime traditions held at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park on Marion's West Side on the Saturday following Juneteenth -- returned bigger & better than ever for its third season in 2023. MBJSF 2023 featured a headlining band The Elements with Brianna O'Dell LaCosta Mayes & Jordy Braddy with two opening acts three narrative stages on Black boyhood Black arts entrepreneurship in Marion County & the legacy of Marion's 1919 lynch mob a line-dancing workshop two hands-on kids' arts workshops food trucks & a vendor marketplace & a seven-panel exhibit on the history of Marion's 1919 lynch mob with a month-long promotional lead-up including yard signs flyers banners & postcards. The 5-hour festival drew over 250 people: despite a stopped train blocking festival access for its first several hours. 0 14737 Preservation Justice A new initiative in 2023 Preservation Justice was a program suite combining a series of four Zoom workshops plus a season-long community co-curation cycle researching Marion Black history resulting in the nomination of a new Ohio Historical Marker to the Ohio History Connection's annual program cycle. The goal of the Preservation Justice program was to build community access to historic preservation resources: from designation to public history interpretation to neighborhood revitalization and place activation; & to build hands-on skills in local history research & organizing. Co-curation cycle participants selected the end goal of creating an Ohio Historical Marker application for the West Side & worked from March-May 1st 2023 researching and preparing the proposal. The marker proposal was accepted in July 2023 & the new marker in fabrication as of March 2024 will be installed at Marion's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Park sometime in 2025. 0 6000 Other FY2023 core Marion Voices programs in order of expenses & impact included our brand-new Marion Voices Pilot Folk Arts Apprenticeship Program -- which supported two master cultural artists to train apprentices in a folklife tradition selected genres were Black foodways & Nicaraguan cultural arts an expanded annual Countywide Folklife Survey which documented 5 additional community artists & tradition-bearers through oral history interviews photography & video the return of our Marion Voices Summer Institute Zoom workshops rebranded as the "Marion Voices Back-to-School Institute" which offered four cultural arts & public history workshops across September & our ongoing community scholar program which supported Marion Voices' outreach & historical research capacity through direct investments in community cultural organizers as Marion Voices contractors. 0 7150 71306 X Jess Lamar Reece Holler Executive Director and Secretary 60 49303 0 0 Johnnie Lewis Jackson President and Community Coordinator 5 2220 0 0 Tara Dyer Community Scholar and Treasurer 1 198 0 0 false false false false false false false false false OH Jess Lamar Reece Holler P O Box 189 Caledonia OH 43214 6142735907 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 0 0 23400 123473 63415 210288 0 0 0 859 711 1570 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 23400 124332 64126 211858 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 211858 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1540 3131 4671 0 0 23400 125872 67257 216529 X Part III, line 12 | S.No:, Amount:, Description:| 1, $778, Returns Refunds Adjustments for Purchases from Vendors for Returns| 2, $2353, Supply Reimbursements: Art Supply Reimbursements for K-12 Programs shopped by Marion Voices then Reimbursed by K-12 School Partners| Part III, line 12 | S.No:, Year:, Description:| 1, 2022, Refund from Printing Service VistaPrint for Less Than Satisfactory Print Runs; Refunded Shipping from VistaPrint for Combined Orders| RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Part I, line 8 | Other Revenues:, Amount:| Returns Refunds Adjustments for Purchases from Vendors for Returns, $778| Supply Reimbursements: Art Supply Reimbursements for K-12 Programs shopped by Marion Voices then Reimbursed by K-12 School Partners, $2353| Part I, line 16 | Other Expenses:, Amount:| Materials & Supply Reimbursements to Marion Voices Artists + Contractors, $930.00| Functional Expenses -- Art + Program Supplies, $3732.00| Functional Expenses -- Technological & Other Subscriptions Zoom Amazon Newspapers.com Marion Star Website URL & Domain &c., $890.00| Functional Expenses -- Technological & Office Supplies Equipment, $854.00| Functional Expenses -- COVID-19 Mitigation & Sanitation Supplies Hand Sanitizer & Masks for K-12 & Other In-Person Programs, $1965.00| Functional Expenses -- Bookkeeping & Checking Supplies, $454.00| Functional Expenses -- Food Beverage for Programs & Events, $134.00| Functional Expenses -- Cash Kitty Out for Marion Black Joy Summerfest 2023, $150.00| Functional Expenses --- Other Annual Ohio Sec. of State Non-Profit Reporting Fee, $50.00| Promotions & Marketing -- Promotional Materials Yard Signs Banners Posters Post-Cards Swag for Marion Black Joy Summerfest 2023, $2216.00| Part IV, List of Officers | Employee Name:, Description:| Jess Lamar Reece Holler, All Marion Voices pay to contractors is on a contract basis for particular services determined by specific program duties outlined & approved in the budgets of program grants awarded to Marion Voices.
