| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | AKRON SOUL TRAIN IS AN ARTIST RESIDENCY PROGRAM CONNECTING AND EMPOWERING THE COMMUNITY AND ARTISTS BY GRANTING FELLOWSHIPS THAT PROVIDE RESOURCES TO ALL CREATIVE DISCIPLINES, THEREBY FOSTERING A MORE VIBRANT DOWNTOWN AKRON. FOUNDED IN 2016 AS A RESULT OF WINNING A 2015 KNIGHT ARTS CHALLENGE GRANT, AKRON SOUL TRAIN PROVIDES ARTISTS WITH THE RESOURCES TO CREATE AND EXHIBIT NEW BODIES OF WORK. THE NAME WAS INSPIRED BY AKRON'S RICH HISTORY OF TRANSPORTATION AND INDUSTRY AND THE INSPIRATION FOR THE PROGRAM WAS DERIVED FROM REGIONAL ARTIST COMMUNITIES SUCH AS THE MATTRESS FACTORY IN PITTSBURGH. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 6 | THE AST BOARD IS COMPRISED OF ALL VOLUNTEERS. THE BOARD MEETS ON A BIMONTHLY BASIS. MEETINGS ARE NORMALLY 90 MINUTES LONG. BOARD VOLUNTEERS ARE A CROSS SECTION OF THE ARTS COMMUNITY IN AKRON, OHIO. EACH MEMBER BRINGS A PLETHORA OF EXPERIENCE AND INSIGHT INTO THE OPERATIONS AND GOVERNANCE OF A STARTUP NONPROFIT ARTS ORGANIZATION. THE BOARD IS COMPRISED OF 9 MEMBERS. A TOTAL OF 6 BOARD MEETINGS WERE HELD IN 2018. TOTAL NUMBER OF VOLUNTEER HOURS WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,500 WHICH INCLUDED MEETING TIME, PREPARATION FOR MEETING, COMMUNITY OUTREACH EVENTS AND FUNDRAISING EVENTS. IN ADDITION TO GOVERNANCE, BOARD MEMBERS HAVE ALSO BEEN ACTIVE IN FUNDRAISING AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH. AST HELD SEVERAL EVENTS IN 2018. BOARD MEMBERS ATTENDED THESE EVENTS AND ASSISTED WITH EXPLAINING IN AST'S MISSION, ITS GOALS, ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES, AND IMPACT ON AKRON OHIO. AST'S BOARD MEMBERS ARE WELL KNOWN AND RESPECTED IN THE SUMMIT COUNTY AREA. BY VOLUNTEERING THEIR TIME AND TALENT, AS WELL AS DONATING THEIR TREASURE, THE AST BOARD HAS LENT AN AIR OF CREDIBILITY TO SUCH A NEW NONPROFIT ENTERPRISE. THIS HAS HELD AST IN GOOD STEAD WITH POTENTIAL FUNDERS, MEMBERS, AND VOLUNTEERS, AS WELL AS ASSURING SUCCESS. IN ADDITION TO THE BOARD, A SMALL NUMBER OF COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS ASSISTED WITH THE EVENTS AST HELD IN 2018. |

UPCOMING 2019 ARTISTS INCLUDE ARABELLA PROFFER IN MARCH, ELIZABETH DALLAS AND BEN PATRICK IN APRIL, ALYSIA KLEIN AND ZELDA ZINN IN MAY, DIANE BRITT IN JUNE, MICAH KRAUS IN JULY AND MAGGIE DUFF IN AUGUST. EACH OF THESE ARTISTS WILL HOLD A PUBLIC EDUCATION PROGRAM AND THEIR WORK WILL BE EXHIBITED OR PERFORMED. APPLICATION PROCESS AST LEARNED A GREAT DEAL IN ITS FIRST TWO YEARS AND IMPLEMENTED SEVERAL NEW POLICIES FOR THE 2018-2019 RESIDENCY SEASON; A RESIDENCY COMMITTEE WAS CREATED AND FILLED WITH INDIVIDUALS WITH EXPERTISE IN THE VARIETY OF DISCIPLINES THAT AST WELCOMES AND ALL APPLICATIONS WERE SUBMITTED THROUGH A FORMAL WEB-BASED APPLICATION. THIS ENSURED THE APPLICANTS ALL COMPLETED THE APPLICATION IN A UNIFORM MANNER MAKING IT EASIER FOR THE COMMITTEE TO REVIEW AND ALSO GAVE THE COMMITTEE MORE TIME TO REVIEW EACH APPLICATION. APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2020 RESIDENCY SEASON WILL OPEN IN JULY 2019 AND ARTISTS WILL BE SELECTED BY NOVEMBER 1,2019. IN 2020, AST WILL WORK WITH OUR NETWORKS TO INCLUDE TWO ARTISTS FROM OUT OF TOWN WHO WILL BE PROVIDED WITH TRAVEL, LODGING AND STUDIO SPACE IN ADDITION TO A STIPEND. AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW, AST LOOKS FORWARD TO INCREASING THAT NUMBER DURING EACH RESIDENCY SEASON. DIVERSITY IS A KEY COMPONENT OF THE AKRON SOUL TRAIN'S FOCUS IN 2020. WE ARE WORKING NOW TO EXPAND OUR RESIDENCY COMMITTEE TO INCLUDE ARTISTS OF DIVERSE ARTISTIC EXPRESSION ALLOWING US TO ENSURE EXPERTISE IN EACH AREA OF RESIDENCY OPPORTUNITIES WHILE ALSO INCREASING OUR EXPOSURE TO DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES. KEY COMMUNITIES NOT CURRENTLY REPRESENTED BY AKRON SOUL TRAIN INCLUDE WRITERS, DANCERS AND CHOREOGRAPHERS. IN ADDITION, WE ARE ENSURING DIVERSE REPRESENTATION BY ENACTING A NUMBER OF POLICIES. OUR FIRST ACTION ITEM IS IDENTIFYING COMMUNITY GROUPS WHO CAN HELP US INTRODUCE THE ORGANIZATION TO THE MANY COMMUNITIES IN AKRON INCLUDING URBAN LEAGUE, INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE, PRIDE AND CANAPI, AND THE WOMEN'S LEAGUE. BY COLLABORATING WITH THESE GROUPS WE CAN GAIN ACCESS AND INTRODUCTIONS TO THEIR COMMUNITY ENCOURAGING THEIR ARTISTS TO APPLY FOR RESIDENCIES AND THEIR COMMUNITY AT LARGE TO ATTEND AND ENGAGE WITH THOSE ARTISTS THROUGH THEIR PUBLIC PROGRAMS AND EXHIBITIONS. TO EFFECTIVELY ENSURE WE ARE TRULY REPRESENTING THE DIVERSITY OF OUR COMMUNITY, AKRON SOUL TRAIN COMMITS TO A MINIMUM OF ONE ARTIST OF COLOR, ONE ARTIST FROM THE REFUGEE COMMUNITY, AND ONE ARTIST FROM THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY. AKRON SOUL TRAIN WORKS WITH A VARIETY OF ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT GREATER AKRON FOR EXHIBITION AND PERFORMANCE SPACE, MARKETING ASSISTANCE, VOLUNTEER RECRUITMENT, SPECIALTY STUDIO SPACES INCLUDING PRINTMAKING EQUIPMENT, RECORDING EQUIPMENT, AND KILNS. THESE ORGANIZATIONS ARE INSTRUMENTAL TO THE WORK OF AKRON SOUL TRAIN BY ENSURING OUR ARTISTS HAVE ACCESS TO THE MATERIALS THEY NEED TO COMPLETE THEIR PROPOSED PROJECT. IN ADDITION, AST EXHIBITS VISUAL ARTWORK IN A VARIETY OF LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT AKRON. BY WORKING CLOSELY WITH THESE SPACES, AKRON SOUL TRAIN ENSURES THE ARTISTS ARE EXHIBITING OR PERFORMING THEIR WORK IN A LOCATION THAT MOST CLOSELY ALIGNS WITH THEIR PROJECT. THE AST RESIDENCY COMMITTEE IS CONSTANTLY RESEARCHING AND INQUIRING WITH AREA EXHIBITION SPACES TO BRING THEM IN AS PARTNERS. THESE PARTNERSHIPS PROVIDE AST WITH FREE OR DISCOUNTED SPACE AND ALLOWS US TO TAP INTO NEW AUDIENCES AND EDUCATE THEM ON THE MISSION OF AST |
