In 2024, Spiva offered a wide variety of visual arts classes, workshops, and camps for children, teens, adults, and seniors. Our summer art camps remained a vital creative outlet for area youth, while weekly classes supported artists of all skill levels year-round. The Third-Grade Collaborative continued to bring over 1700 area third grade students to Spiva where many of them experienced an art gallery for the first time. They learned about art, made art, and installed a collaborative exhibit. Spiva also expanded its outreach initiatives to bring high-quality art experiences directly into schools, non-profits, community centers, and more-especially in underserved and rural areas. These efforts included external art programming, art in community gathering spaces, and collaborative projects with educators to integrate arts into classroom learning. Outreach partnerships helped reach new audiences and provided opportunities for creative expression beyond the walls of the center. Scholarships and sponsorships ensured that no student was turned away due to financial need, reinforcing Spivas commitment to equity in the arts. 39904 0 114548 Exhibits: Spiva presented 18 exhibitions in 2024, featuring a mix of regional, national, and international artists across multiple gallery spaces. Highlights included major solo and group exhibitions, traveling shows, and juried competitions. Our exhibitions spanned a wide range of mediums and themes, reflecting our commitment to artistic excellence, cultural diversity, and creative exploration. Interpretive materials, docent-led tours, and digital resources enriched the visitor experience and deepened engagement. Many exhibitions were paired with educational and public programming to encourage dialogue and connection between artists and audiences. Spivas galleries remained vibrant spaces for cultural exchange and artistic discovery. 371784 0 351854 Programs & Events: Spiva Center for the Arts offers a dynamic lineup of programs and events that engage the community, celebrate creativity, and expand access to the arts. Signature events such as the annual Membership Show, Art on Tap, and Spiva in Bloom bring people together around shared cultural experiences and help foster a vibrant, inclusive arts community. In 2024, Spiva also hosted artist receptions, public lectures, and collaborative events with local organizations that highlighted regional talent and encouraged dialogue through the arts. These efforts support Spivas mission to make the arts accessible and meaningful for people of all ages and backgrounds. Special attention was given to removing barriers to participation, with several events offered free or at low cost to ensure broad community access. 431992 true true false false false false false true false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 true 6 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 17 17 false false false false true true true true true false false true true false true false false false false false X ARTHUR ST ONGE 4176230183 212 E 7th St Joplin MO 64801 Heather Lesmeister Director 40.00 X 93462 0 0 Matt McConnell President 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Angela Vorhees Board Member 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Wendy Brueckner Sears Board Member 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Lance Beshore 1st Vice President 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Sharon Beshore Trustee 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Alex Curchin Trustee 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Sara Newman Trustee 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Gay Currence Trustee 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Steve Graddy Past President 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Tim Johnson Secretary 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Caley Hedman Treasurer 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Charlie Davis Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Fredrick Njoroge Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Lynn Hempen Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Annette Thurston Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Ann Leach Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Gabby Heth Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Brandon Davis Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Lauren Stauffer Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Ann Turney Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 93462 0 0 false false false 36081 300639 130475 467195 EDUCATION PROGRAM REVENUE 712100 38810 0 0 38810 300639 506005 38810 0 0 250151 187613 37523 25015 8430 6322 1265 843 21000 15750 3150 2100 94047 69892 14835 9320 11598 8698 1740 1160 52004 39003 7801 5200 1607 1205 241 161 34760 17380 17380 0 20041 15031 3006 2004 BUILDING EXPENSES 24534 18401 3679 2454 FUNDRAISING EXPENSES 3713 0 0 3713 EDUCATION PROGRAM EXPENSES 20304 20304 0 0 MAIN & REGIONAL GALLERY EXPESNES 32393 32393 0 0 574582 431992 90620 51970 295054 282689 25 1659 1659 10702 1595 1344084 806028 564578 538056 648864 722867 1520857 1546891 27212 15243 27212 15243 X 1493645 1531648 1493645 1531648 1520857 1546891 X -68577 106580 X false false false false X 0 0 262017 225134 302119 126275 336719 1252264 26131 32589 39711 75699 168492 342622 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 288148 257723 341830 201974 505211 1594886 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1594886 38557 186272 0 50575 793 276197 0 0 0 0 0 0 38557 186272 0 50575 793 276197 0 0 0 0 0 0 1871083 0.85240 0.82340 0.14760 0.17660 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X false 0 0 998106 806028 192078 121549 121549 224429 224429 538056 SPIVA ENDOWMENT 423034 F WINDLE ENDOWMENT 112136 F JO BEELER MEMORIAL FUND 68315 F EDWARD JONES INVESTMENT - THB 119382 F 722867 Pt III, Line 4 PERMANENT ART IS COLLECTED AND DISPLAYED FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES Pt VI, Line 5 21 voting members.
