Purpose Of Funds
In FY 2011 Exit Art will present a full season of visual art and multidisciplinary exhibitions that will revitalize our community and the City of New York, engaging a culturally diverse constituency. Our objective is to touch the lives of the public through vital programs that address the critical environmental, social, political, and cultural issues of today. Eco-Kids, will showcase the commendable work of youth-run green organizations. A full public and arts-in-education program with Eco-Kids will bring together other local organizations and school groups to promote environmental awareness and action. Our exhibitions will also explore the cultural history of New York City and its alternative spaces. This year, the launch of a unique digital film program in our state-of-the-art digital theater will bring excitement to the City, Hells Kitchen, Chelsea, Clinton, and environs. The digital film theater will screen a full-program of digitally produced international films, youth-produced, and rare films that defy standard distribution. Tracking public attendance at events, performances and exhibitions, Exit Art served 55,000 individuals in the 2008-2009 season. We anticipate serving a similar audience this season. Last year, our program expenses were approximately $750,000.
