What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
projectMENTOR
In 2020, projectART created the annual projectMENTOR program to connect students with local artists and creative professionals to leverage Wimberley’s rich professional art community as a valuable resource for local students. Each student works with a professional artist during the spring semester, learning both the business and creative sides of having an art career. The program culminates in an art show and the sale of one student artwork from each pair, with proceeds from the sale going directly back to the projectMENTOR program.

Financial data
projectART Wimberley
Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
