Specifically, The Family Blessing and Dundu Dole. Artz 4 Life Academy, Inc. continues to exceed expectations and budget under the direction of Founder/Executive Director, Jai Hinson. In the current year, the organization rebranded the annual production of the Chocolate Nutcracker to The Nutcracker Twist to The Family Blessing and continued to receive the highest accolades for the production. The production reached approximately 6,000 Tampa Bay community families, based on weekend long sold-out performances. Artz 4 Life Academy continued to collaborate with Mahaffey Theater and the City of St. Petersburg to provide a state-of-the-art venue for the annual Production. Artz 4 Life Academy, Inc. established a semi-professional performing outlet for community youth that performs a variety of genres, such as West African Dance, Jazz, Ballet, Modern, and Caribbean. The youth use the semi-professional company as a foundation for future endeavors. Many of our students have been accepted for summer intensives with schools such as: Alvin Ailey, The Rock and Jacobs Pillow. Several have received performing art scholarships and prestigious awards. We have graduates attending on scholarship to Sante Fe College, University of Hartford, Gainesville, Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania and Boston Conservatory and one former dancer graduated from Julliard and is currently a premier dancer with Alvin Ailey Dance Company and American Ballet Company. Six former members are now performing in Katunga, and Dance With The Music at Busch Gardens and one male is the performance dance captain. Three former Dundu Dole members have recently received invitations to Las Vegas from the "So You Think You Can Dance" Television show. Other former dancers recently were winners on the BET television show 106 & Park. In addition, the semi-professional program continued to expand the community outreach, expanding the outreach to two additional counties in the Tampa Bay area. 401626 764358 Arts, Culture & Humanities Programs: The programs at the academy provide youth with opportunities to explore the arts and develop skills they can use to express themselves in all aspects of their live, now, and as they chart a course for their future. Studies have shown that art education, as an extension of the classroom and an academic resource, increases learning by enhancing math, reading and writing skills. Art education, expressed conceptually and practically in various forms and disciplines, stimulates intelligence in our youth during the school year, and throughout their summer hiatus. Youth who take part in our Programs achieve higher educational and personal aspirations through activities that reach beyond the classroom to identify and develop personal values and character-building assets, increasing their effectiveness, resiliency, and academic performance. The Academic and Cultural Enrichment after school Program, Explore the Arts summer camp, Angelina Ballerina, which was featured in conjunction with the University of South Florida and local news programs, and the Community Through Our Eyes, which helped community youth understand the legacy and history of the local community. 579430 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 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 0 0 0 1 23 0 19 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X Lahteefah Parramore CPA 7272163519 1751 Kings Hwy Clearwater FL 33755 Thomas Blauvelt Board President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Gloria Campbell Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lahteefah Parramore CPA Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Darius Carter Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sandy Tabor Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jacqueline Hinson Executive Director/ CEO 60.00 0.00 X 66352 0 0 66352 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 179832 583807 763639 Program Income and Rel 624110 55805 55805 55805 3327 3327 822771 55805 0 3327 66352 62371 3981 238481 224172 14309 23060 21676 1384 49889 46745 3144 3502 3440 62 9010 7296 1714 60843 7430 53413 13355 13355 13418 13418 14817 14817 48340 38147 10193 Participant Expense 65823 64496 1327 Subcontractor 50333 50333 Automobile Expense 14453 14453 Event Expense 9496 9496 22960 16020 6940 704132 579430 124702 0 431444 527173 42728 69816 182812 133235 61602 49577 535774 646566 58008 50505 476201 475858 534209 526363 X 1565 120203 0 0 1565 120203 535774 646566 118639 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 471532 621103 681762 751066 763639 3289102 55805 55805 471532 621103 681762 751066 819444 3344907 0 0 0 3344907 3327 3327 3327 3327 471532 621103 681762 751066 822771 3348234 0.99900 1.00000 0.00100 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 9338 3113 6225 48172 41765 6407 125302 88357 36945 49577 Long-Term Debt 475858 475858 X 842106 19335 19335 822771 0 822771 723467 19335 19335 704132 0 704132 Part X, Line 2: The Academy is a non-profit corporation whose revenues are mainly derived from contributions and other fundraising activities and is not subject to federal or state income taxes.
