An award-winning group of instructors provides individualized guidance in an inclusive and supportive environment, encouraging students to reach their full creative potential.In addition to traditional offerings such as painting, drawing, and ceramics, DFAC features specialized studios for jewelry, printmaking, fiber arts, and food arts. The center encompasses 21 studios across two campuses in Dunedin. Classes are offered year-round through seven six-week terms, along with a variety of individual workshops. DFAC also has the unique ability to host nationally renowned artists for workshops throughout the year, often in conjunction with gallery exhibitions or in partnership with local artist groups.To welcome new students and showcase its programs, DFAC also hosts an annual Adult Education Open House each winter. This event invites visitors to meet instructors, observe studio demonstrations, and experience firsthand what it is like to take a class at the center. In addition, DFAC offers a popular monthly Coffee and Conversation series, sponsored by the Sterling Society, DFAC's auxiliary group. These sessions feature instructors and local artists who share insights into their work, career paths, and creative techniques.DFAC is deeply committed to fostering the connection between creative expression and healthy aging. Many senior students value the mental stimulation, creative engagement, and strong sense of community found in DFAC classes. Through its Arts & Wellness programming, the center offers guided art practices designed to support overall wellbeing. Ongoing research continues to demonstrate that participation in the arts can enhance quality of life, reduce loneliness, lower the risk of depression, and help decrease the risk of dementia across a wide range of individuals. 158199 297136 Besides educational outreach programs for local charter/ private schools and organizations like Safety Harbor Montessori and Academie DaVinci, the children and teen program follows the same schedule as the adult program, except for June - August, when a 10-week intensive Summer enrichment art academy program for children ages 4.5 to 14 is held. During the summer program, 7 different weekly camps which focus on photography, clay (hand building and wheel), 3D, 2D (drawing and painting), iPad Explorations, murals and musical theater are offered to age-appropriate groupings in weeklong sessions. DFAC has up to 180 children per week and employs certified teachers/ art teachers, DFAC Instructors, degreed working artists, and professionals working in the arts from the Tampa Bay area. At the close of Summer, a Summer Art Academy Exhibit is held in our Kokolakis Family Youth Gallery in part curated by the children, for the children. Close to 50 different schools are represented in our Summer Camp exhibit. DFAC's Youth Education Department also hosts our annual "Kidsfest" in conjunction with the Summer Camp Exhibit opening. This event brings in 300-500 visitors each year and is joined by the Kiwanis Club of Dunedin to provide Hotdogs, chips and drinks at no cost. Dedicated Youth Gallery: Kokolakis Youth Gallery is used exclusively for children's artwork from 4.5-17 years. DFAC partners with the Pinellas County School District's Visual Arts Supervisor to provide 4 exhibits annually featuring 75 Elementary schools, 19 Middle schools and 13 High schools. DFAC also partners with the City of Dunedin and the Dunedin Principals' Consortium to provide the Dunedin Schools Showcase exhibit featuring the youth's artwork created in Dunedin. These are wonderful events to attend to share the excitement and joy with the young Artists and their families.Youth/Adult Clay Lab: DFAC has 3 clay labs: 1 for wheel use only, 1 for hand-building only and 1 for use of wheel and hand-building. Specific times, days and classes are scheduled in clay labs for Youth Education use only as the adults are scheduled in adjoining clay labs and on schedules not affecting youth use. David L. Mason (DLM) Children's Hands-On Museum: A big part of our Youth Education Program is the Children's Hands-On Art Museum. This space gives children the opportunity to explore the different media used in art from pastels to electronic graphics and even a Green Screen theater space. The current Children's Hands-On exhibit is titled "Wacky Weather". This interactive experience combines a multitude of hands-on, interactive experiences. Use your imagination while giving the local weather report, building an icy environment for our cold weather animal friends, performing on the Green Screen, open ended art at our create table and much more. Free Family Nights are also offered October-May at no cost for families to enjoy extended hours in our DLM Museum. School Tours: DFAC's 2-hour tour consists of 3 components: 1) Students start with a 30-40 minute engaging gallery discussion and on-site tour. 2) Students proceed to the hands-on interactive area where they explore, create and build on concepts and images from the original artworks seen in the galleries. Time in the hands-on area is 30-45 minutes. 3) Tour concludes with students gathering in the art studio for a teacher directed, exhibit related activity involving imagination and motor skills. Also, due to this year's grant funding, provided by the Pinellas Community Foundation, the no cost student tours and bus reimbursement program was implemented to provide a further reach to our Pinellas County students and schools.Birthday Parties: 5 Youth Education birthday party options are provided for ages 5-17. 32721 42771 The Dunedin Fine Art Center (DFAC) has museum quality exhibitions which are organized by our Curatorial Director. Exhibits change every 8 weeks, on average. In a given year, the public can enjoy 20 different exhibits in 6 distinct galleries plus 7 exhibits in our dedicated Children's Gallery. Our Curatorial Director establishes the exhibition calendar two years in advance selecting from a range of individual artist proposals, traveling exhibits, guest curator concepts plus other organizational and regional proposals. With educational values at the core of the Dunedin Fine Art Center's mission, it has been our goal, at any given time, that a visitor may view works by our faculty and students alongside exhibits of artists of national and international standing. In addition to numerous themed juried exhibitions for community participation, we have a Student / Member / Faculty exhibit that ensures every work of art submitted is shown and celebrated. It is ideal that we have been able to simultaneously stage shows of broader significance in the contemporary art world while maintaining a commitment to our students, members and their families.That commitment along with the talent of our curatorial staff led DFAC to be named best museum in Pinellas County in 2014 in a Visit St. Petersburg/Clearwater poll-though we are not a museum nor maintain a permanent collection! In addition to various Critic's Awards, DFAC has received Creative Loafing Tampa Bay's Best of the Bay People's Choice Award for Best Non-Museum Gallery for eight consecutive years: 2016 - 2025 plus Best Visual Arts Curator for 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025.Exhibits are a primary component of DFAC's educational and cultural outreach to our community, greater Tampa Bay and visitors to our state who attend lectures and demonstrations by visiting / exhibiting artists in collaboration with our year-round classes and workshops.DFAC's Member/Students are enhanced by daily exposure to a diverse range of contemporary art techniques and media. In addition, throughout the school year, School Tours for children of all ages enjoy: Gallery Talks led by our Youth Education Director, interactive play in our Hands-On Museum and a classroom take-home project conducted by our Youth Education Staff. 1590215 96859 Memberships and donations subsidize all programs provided by DFAC and are not included in these program revenues. 1590215 96859 2105945 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 109 0 1 31 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 FL X X Scott Hale 7272983322 1143 Michigan Blvd Dunedin FL 34698 Rachael Wood Board Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Susan Benjamin Vice Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Robert Weskerna Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Edmund Ziegler Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Fred Miller Parliamentarian 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Michael Bowman Immediate Past Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Steve Beaty Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 John Freeborn Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Karen Hauk Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Emmanuel Lelekis Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Julie Scales Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Siewruk Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Holly Bird Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Andrea G Nalls President/CEO 37.50 X 135173 0 0 135173 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 78706 76199 424585 77389 579490 Education 541610 906909 906909 Exhibitions 711130 44446 44446 951355 140889 140889 2193767 1892761 301006 301006 301006 278118 76199 177978 100140 100140 79487 49973 29514 29514 Other 711130 24101 24101 24101 2126495 1004970 0 542035 135173 100799 12503 21871 817977 609965 75663 132349 153353 114355 14185 24813 72366 53986 6686 11694 34085 25417 3153 5515 10801 8055 999 1747 76588 57112 7084 12392 391497 291940 36213 63344 66642 49695 6164 10783 Education expenses 522881 522881 Public relations 88308 65852 8168 14288 In-kind expense 77388 1190 76198 Utilities and custodial 68353 50970 6323 11060 192456 153728 13251 25477 2707868 2105945 190392 411531 1144 194618 2880 1867 16216 18973 527253 469091 32552 58162 3886043 3841614 4006856 3626488 7945691 7741722 148557 126304 242242 443672 31155 60598 421954 630574 X 2551448 2484492 4972289 4626656 7523737 7111148 7945691 7741722 -581373 191729 -22945 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1230516 1104552 961264 751956 579490 4627778 1230516 1104552 961264 751956 579490 4627778 0 0 0 4627778 52159 63371 112077 133194 140889 501690 52159 63371 112077 133194 140889 501690 1282675 1167923 1073341 885150 720379 5129468 0.90220 0.92020 0.09780 0.07980 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3879193 800 609821 -655000 3834814 3166289 320000 722904 -330000 3879193 2872463 88000 293826 -88000 3166289 3602236 14801 -731273 -13301 2872463 2945467 2500 487371 166898 3602236 0 0 527253 469091 58162 58162 Cash and Money Market 140621 F Equity Mutual Funds 1151088 F Equities 1765876 F Exchange traded products 455227 F Fixed Income 328802 F 3841614 Unamortized leasehold interest 3609834 Right-of-use lease assets 16654 3626488 Lease Liabilities 16654 Line of Credit 43944 60598 X 2672879 191729 377600 569329 2103550 22945 22945 2126495 3085468 377600 377600 2707868 0 2707868 Part X, Line 2: The Organization accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions based on a "more likely than not" threshold to the recognition of the tax positions being sustained based on the technical merits of the position under scrutiny by the applicable taxing authority. If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefit is estimated based on a "cumulative probability assessment" that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. The Organization has identified its tax status as a tax-exempt entity as its only significant tax position; however, the Organization has determined that such tax position does not result in an uncertainty requiring recognition. The Organization is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdiction. The Organization's federal returns are generally open for examination for three years following the date filed. 50th Gala 83591 83591 2607 1910 26467 14078 8871 Wearable Art 70982 2460 68522 23904 4969 16150 7783 3 199744 73739 126005 815 575 69849 354317 76199 278118 2607 25814 32251 30803 86503 177978 100140 X Building Maintenance 1 200610 provided by donor X Public Relations & Marketing 3 177080 provided by donor X Event Supplies 306 76198 provided by donor X Educational Supplies 5 1190 provided by donor 0 1 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b A full version of Form 990 as filed with the IRS is provided to each voting member of the Governing body and / or designated committees responsible for performing a review process prior to filing Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The policy is reviewed and signed yearly by Board members.
