ATHFEST SHOWCASES LOCAL, REGIONAL AND NATIONAL TALENT TO ATHENS RESIDENTS AND RESIDENTS OF SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES AND STATES. OVER THE PAST 25 YEARS THE FESTIVAL HAS GAINED A DEDICATED FAN BASE AND WE SEE FESTIVAL GOERS FROM ALL OVER GEORGIA AND THE SOUTHEAST. THE ATHENS CONVENTION AND VISITORS BUREAU ESTIMATES THAT APPROXIMATELY 60,000 PEOPLE ATTEND ATHFEST ANNUALLY. THE FESTIVAL GIVES MORE THAN 120 MUSICIANS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PERFORM LIVE AND GET THEIR MUSIC OUT TO THOUSANDS OF FANS THEY MAY NOT HAVE REACHED OTHERWISE. LESS THAN 10% OF THE BANDS WHO APPLY TO PERFORM AT ATHFEST ARE ACCPETED TO PERFORM ON THE MAIN AND SECOND STAGES. IN ADDITION, NEARLY 60 LOCAL AND REGIONAL ARTISTS SHOWCASE THEIR ART IN THE ATHFEST ARTISTS MARKET. THIS ARTIST MARKET IS A JURIED ARTIST MARKET AND ATHFEST TAKES PRIDE IN SELECTING HIGH-QUALITY ARTIST TO PARTICIPATE. 100138 61663 ATHFEST EDUCATE ACCEPTS GRANT APPLICATIONS FROM LOCAL EDUCATORS AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT SPECIALISTS WORKING IN ATHENS, GEORGIA SCHOOLS, 501(C)(3) NONPROFITS, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, AND GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS WITH K-12 YOUTH IN THE AREAS OF MUSIC AND ARTS EDUCATION. ATHFEST EDUCATES AWARDS GRANTS ANNUALLY TO SUPPORT THE ADVANCEMENT OF HIGH-QUALITY MUSIC AND ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAMS. ON AVERAGE, ATHFEST EDUCATES GRANTS SERVE APPROXIMATELY 6,000 STUDENTS EACH YEAR. THESE GRANTS ENABLE YOUNG PEOPLE TO ATTEND LIVE, PROFESSIONAL MUSICAL AND ARTISITIC PERFORMANCES AND INSTALLATIONS, PARTICIPATE IN HANDS-ON MUSIC AND ARTS PROGRAMS, AND INCREASE THEIR ACCESS TO, AND USE OF, PROFESSIONAL MUSIC AND ARTS EQUIPMENT. IN ADDITION, ATHFEST EDUCATES PROUDLY AWARDS GRANTS TO PERMIT EDUCATORS AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT SPECIALTIES TO ATTEND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES. 4631 THE ULTIMATE MISSION OF ATHFEST EDUCATES IS TO ADVANCE MUSIC AND ARTS EDUCATION FOR THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF ATHENS. ONE WAY WE ACHIEVE THIS GOAL IS THROUGH THE KIDSFEST COMPONENT OF THE ATHFEST MUSIC AND ARTS FESTIVAL. KIDSFEST IS A THREE-DAY CELEBRATION THAT SHOWCASES KID-FRIENDLY BANDS AND GIVES YOUTH AN OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN FREE ARTS-BASED ACTIVITIES APPOXIMATELY 3,000 YOUTH ATTEND KIDFEST EACH YEAR. KIDSFEST PRIDES ITSELF ON GIVING UP-AND-COMING MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL-AGED MUSICIANS THE STAGE AND A CHANCE TO PERFORM LIVE IN FRONT OF ATHFEST FESTIVAL-GOERS. WE BELIEVE THIS EXPOSURE, BE IT FOR BAND MEMBERS OR THEIR YOUNG FANS, IS BUILDING THE BASIS FOR MUSIC APPRECIATION AND ENCOURAGING ALL YOUTH TO GET EXCITED ABOUT PLAYING MUSIC. KIDSFEST IS FREE AND IS A DRAW FOR MANY OF OUR AREA'S LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS WHICH IS PARTICULARLY VALUABLE TO OUR MISSION SINCE LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES OFTEN DO NOT HAVE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES NEEDED TO ATTEND LIVE MUSICAL PERFORMANCES. 386241 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 46 0 true 1 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false false true true true true false false false true true true true true true true false GA X MARY JOYCE 7065481973 320 E CLAYTON ST STE 409 ATHENS GA 30601 MARY JOYCE EXECUTIVE DIR 32.00 0.00 X 65460 0 0 CARA SIMMONS BOARD MEMEBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOSH KOONS TREASURER 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 LAUREN CORCINO BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANGELA HURT BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CAROLE BLACK SECRETARY 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 GINA JACKSON BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BRADLEY HUBACHER BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHANIE HALL CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JESS MACHACEK VICE CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 EUNICE KANG BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 65460 0 false false false 0 50801 54896 38597 144294 MUSIC EDUCATION FESTIVAL 337863 337863 337863 24733 24733 0 0 0 0 293635 50801 160032 133603 0 0 0 640493 337863 24733 X 61663 61663 0 0 0 65460 32730 32730 0 0 0 3948 1974 1974 5008 2504 2504 0 0 250 150 100 0 0 11750 11750 0 35694 25534 10160 1158 36 1122 0 0 7500 7500 0 0 0 0 0 0 8804 6863 1941 EVENT PRODUCTION EXPENSES 97765 97765 MERCHANDISE FOR RESALE 31181 31181 BAND PAYMENTS 29920 29920 COMMISSIONS 20719 20719 96079 75202 17711 3166 476899 386241 87492 3166 271651 383523 358920 391332 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 371673 422311 0 0 0 475 475 1002719 1197641 4024 4394 4024 4394 X 998695 1193247 998695 1193247 1002719 1197641 X 163594 30958 64000 -64000 X false true X false false X 93915 122179 117072 119551 144294 597011 0 0 93915 122179 117072 119551 144294 597011 0 597011 4945 2505 5014 9416 24733 46613 0 0 643624 2772108 0.92760 0.94180 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED CREDIT CARDS PAYABLE 4394 4394 false HALF MARATHON 344436 50801 293635 3080 7477 149475 344436 50801 293635 3080 7477 149475 160032 133603 true CLARKE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT PO BOX 1708 ATHENS GA 30603 GOV 33418 0 MUSIC EQUIPMENT 1 0 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used THE ORGANIZATION PREPARES DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW FOR ANY GRANT DURING THE GRANT MAKING PROCESS.
