Fiscal sustainability at the end of 2024 for our 501c3 status. A maintained and advanced performative website. If at the end of 2024 we have successfully completed our first fiscal year of non-profit status. The budgets and accounting will have been maintained and proper tax documents filed. This will act as a future guide. Our maintained website will have a new landing page promoting artists in the area.
