Learn more about our...
ARTistic ECOSYSTEM
TOGETHER we are financially strong
Working as an artistic ecosystem allows our collective of organizations, artists and companies to cross-pollinate and thrive by sharing multiple spaces, marketing and technology plus resources, audiences, students and customers.
Space for Resident Organizations
Revenue stream: long-term rental agreements
Working as an ecosystem means that our business plan is primarily sustained by each entity holding a lease in the House. The rent from tenants will provide 70% of the income for operational costs of the ART House 360. Consistent monthly revenue will allow each tenatn to focus on their mission and have the financial stability to increase their impact on the artists, kids, teens and adults they serve.
Community Space
Revenue Stream: rental fees, event tickets, concessions, individual donations, local grants & business sponsors.
The heart of AH360 is our community room, where students, parents, and supporters come to congregate -- and where we keep the ecosystem thriving by offering concessions, live music, poetry slams, camps, retail gallery space, community arts events and private rentals.
Outreach Programs
Revenue Stream: Individual donations, foundational support, local grants & business sponsors.
ART House 360 will create access and inclusion to the arts for our multicultural and multigenerational community by offering scholarships and low- or no-cost programming. We are committed to building relationships and developing meaningful engagement with area schools and nonprofits. At the same time, we will ensure that all artists providing services are paid a good wage for their talent and craft.
