When The Heyde Center “is a they looked at the old, boarded up building with the warped pretty total package of arts floors, leaking roof, and broken windows, they saw what it could for us to experience.” be. It wasn’t until they linked arms with their pragmatic friends Clarence Stoffel, and neighbors and got started that the wider community started audience member to see and share their vision. It took a lot of hard work, heavy fundraising, and the creative input of many people to bring the dream to fruition. Many people didn’t believe it would happen – even those actively involved in the restoration. Despite the challenges, the dream of restoring the building to its previous glory was finally accomplished, but the story of creating a community arts center still goes on. Chippewa Valley Cultural Association, Inc. 3 S. High Street ♦ Chippewa Falls, WI 54729 ♦ (715)726-9000 ♦ www.cvca.net Page 1 This annual report reflects on the accomplishments and challenges of the past fiscal year (December 1, 2013 to November 30, 2014) as a basis from which to grow and improve in the future. ACTIVITY OVERVIEW Each year, there are more people involved in the CVCA/Heyde Center and seeking to collaborate on new and exciting initiatives. Demand for building space has increased significantly each year as evidenced by the number of occupancy days. Building Occupancy FY 2013/2014 Performances (unique events in days) Number of 53 events Total Events 423 days Rehearsal/ Practice Days Facility Rental 96 50 Exhibits (artist receptions/days) 10/192 Other (community events, fund raisers, etc.) 32 This shows that multiple things can be happening any given day. High building occupancy. Attendance numbers seem to be at the same level as last year, but it is challenging to estimate the number of people coming in for facility rentals, fundraisers or community events that are not directly overseen by the CVCA/Heyde Center through the sale/collection of tickets or reservations. The number of performances was slightly less than in previous years but this reduction in performance attendance was offset by the new Paint-a-Palooza classes and an increase in people participating in Facility Rental and other community events.

Of the performing arts events, 48% of them were local performers, 14% were regional performers (western Wisconsin area), 27% were national performers and 11% were international performers. There was a wide variety of arts programming including music, Chippewa Valley Cultural Association, Inc. 3 S. High Street ♦ Chippewa Falls, WI 54729 ♦ (715)726-9000 ♦ www.cvca.net Page 2 theater, dance, book signings and readings, food artisans, acrobats, science/art educational programs (“bubble-ologist” and a laser light show), storytellers, and a mentalist. ART SHOWS/EXHIBITS All of the visual art exhibits and the community development activities featured local artists and participants. Nearly 100 local artists exhibited their artwork at the 50th Annual Spring Art Show in April 2014. In addition, there was a school district wide exhibit showcasing artwork from the public schools in March 2014. The CVCA works with individual artists and groups of artists to offer exhibition opportunities to hundreds of local artists each year. PAINT-A-PALOOZA This year the CVCA/Heyde Center introduced an adult art education series loosely called the “Paint-a-Palooza” series. The goal of the series was to offer simple, introductory art classes for adults interested in learning how to paint. In 2013 - 2014, the CVCA offered nine art classes. One hundred sixteen people participated in these art classes from June to November. The teachers (mainly members of the Valley Art Association) donated their talents and skills to teaching the class – and the CVCA provided the materials. It started with acrylics and watercolor painting, and now has expanded into other forms of creative impression including pastels, charcoal, wood carving, wood turning, silk painting, and ceramics. Evaluations from the workshops have been overwhelmingly positive – both the classes and the instructors. The students recommended that some classes needed to be longer, and they want more classes. REVENUE As a historic community arts center, the Heyde Center for the Arts is an important part of the economic vitality of Chippewa Falls downtown. Every $1 spent on tickets for an event at a community arts center generates an additional $6 of cash flow into the local economy via hotel accommodations, area dining, and consumer retail purchases. This past year, the CVCA/Heyde Center generated over $72,000 in ticket revenue, which translates to around $430,000 of cash inflow to the local economy. Non-profit arts and cultural organizations in the U.S. obtain their revenues from three major sources: (a) earned income, (b) philanthropic contributions from private donors, and (c) direct government subsidies. Earned income — composed of program service revenues (ticket sales, admissions, subscriptions, program ads, and gift shop sales) along with investment income and dues and assessments — account for approximately one-half of all revenue. Contributions from private donors (individuals, foundations, and corporations) account for about two-fifths. Government sources provide the remaining roughly one-tenth of revenue1. For several years, the CVCA/Heyde Center has pursued a diversified funding base and, unlike many other arts organizations, 68.9% of the CVCA/Heyde Center is from earned income revenue. The remaining 31.1% of the CVCA budget comes from philanthropic donations, foundation grants, and two small state government grants – nothing from the city or county 1 Grantmakers in the Arts, http://www.giarts.org Chippewa Valley Cultural Association, Inc. 3 S. High Street ♦ Chippewa Falls, WI 54729 ♦ (715)726-9000 ♦ www.cvca.net Page 3 governments. Philanthropic funds are critical to ensure that the CVCA/Heyde Center remains a community arts center – keeping it accessible to the needs of local groups and individuals as well as providing affordable arts and cultural opportunities. Many people do not understand that the cost of a ticket does not cover all the costs associated with an event (such as the performance fees, and the costs of marketing/promotion, staffing, ticketing, and heating/cooling/lighting) much less the ongoing maintenance and repairs of a 108 year old building. The CVCA/Heyde Center is committed to supporting access to a high class performing arts stage and gallery space to area performers and artists. However excluding many of the area’s residents due to high ticket costs is counterproductive to the mission and vision of the CVCA/Heyde Center. Therefore the CVCA/Heyde Center solicits community funds to help keep its vision of serving as a community arts center alive and active. There were eight main sources of income for the CVCA (FY2012-2013). Donations – individual contributions, gifts in honor of/in memory of someone, special project gifts that are donor restricted for specific capital projects or programs (19.5%) Fundraising Activities – dinners, donations, and silent auction at the Savoring the Arts, and donations and product raffles at Taste of the North (6.2%) Rental Services – auditorium and other small room rental, beverage services, and other facility fees for assorted services (19.5%) Program Services – art sales and art shows, box office revenue, concession sales, entertainment package sponsors, gift certificates/entertainment package passes (43.9%) Memberships – annual membership subscriptions (3.3%) Other revenue sources – merchandise sales, miscellaneous (0.4%) Grants – designated funding from philanthropic and corporate foundations to support projects (2.2%) Endowment Distributions – funds received from CVCA Endowment Funds (5.1%) Sources of Revenue FY 2013 - 2014 3% 2% 5% 1% 19% 6% 44% 20% Donations Fundraising Activities Rental Services Program Services Memberships Grants Endowment Distributions Other Revenue Sources Chippewa Valley Cultural Association, Inc. 3 S. High Street ♦ Chippewa Falls, WI 54729 ♦ (715)726-9000 ♦ www.cvca.net Page 4 EXPENSES Although the inflation rate is not considered high, the costs of goods and services still increase from year to year. The staff and volunteers continually seek ways to streamline systems, do more through collaborations, review existing service contracts, research product prices, and increase work efficiency. Overall, operating expenditures during the past year did not significantly change from previous years. The CVCA/Heyde Center has a policy that outside of emergencies, any major capital projects are fully funded before the work is started or the materials are purchased. This is to ensure that normal operating fund cash flows are not adversely affected if a capital project is not fully funded. Expense Categories There are eight main expenditure categories: Member Services/Administration – personnel costs associated with membership, administration of the day-to-day operations, communication costs, etc. (16%) Insurance – insurance to cover the building, workman’s compensation, and board/executive staff (3%) Program Services – performance fees, commissions, concessions purchases, personnel, and other costs (stage, hotels, hospitality) associated with programming (35%) Facility Rental Costs – bartending services, bar supplies and inventories, personnel costs associated with facility rentals, marketing, communication costs (14%) Building Maintenance and Repairs – various service contracts such as elevator, security and fire systems/monitoring, system maintenance and repairs, utilities, improvements, etc. (13%) Publicity and Advertising – paid advertising and production of publicity materials (12%) Fund Raising – costs associated with fundraising events such as Savoring the Arts and Taste of the North (5%) Sales Tax – sales tax on tickets, concessions, rental services, and merchandise (2%) Expense Categories FY 2013 - 2014 5% 12% Member Services/Administration 2% Insurance 16% 3% Program Services Facility Rental Costs 13% 14% 35% Building Maintenance and Repairs Publicity and Advertising Fund Raising Sales Tax Chippewa Valley Cultural Association, Inc. 3 S.

The feedback has been very positive – the audience members offered wonderful suggestions for improvements, ideas for future performances, and compliments on the things that went well. Although it was just the beginning, there were 108 surveys returned and some of the results were surprising. Thirty-nine percent of the people who turned in a survey said it was their first time at the Heyde Center for the Arts. Ninety percent of the replies said that the performance met or exceeded their expectations. The bulk of the ten percent of people who felt that the performance fell short of their expectations came from a single performance where there were some challenges with the sound board. A high percentage (99%) felt that it was easy to purchase and pay for tickets. Ninety-six percent of the people surveyed felt that the refreshments offered were adequate. Despite some challenges, 89% of the people responding felt that the performances met or exceeded their expectations. Perhaps even more important is that 99% of the audience members would recommend the Heyde Center for the Arts to a friend or family member. ZIP CODE ANALYSIS The CVCA/Heyde Center for the Arts has been collecting zip code information from people purchasing tickets online, at the CVCA office or at the box office throughout the fiscal year. The zip codes are collected per order and not per ticket sale; however it allows the organization the chance to extrapolate trends in the geographic distribution of its audience members. This information is collected in order to better understand the geographic distribution of Heyde Center audiences for marketing and promotional purposes as well as one indicator of the geographic impact of Heyde Center’s programming.

The CVCA/Heyde Center boasts annual arts and cultural attendance of about 11,000 people, and close to 12% of that attendance is by non-Chippewa Valley residents. As noted in the zip code analysis, the Heyde Center for the Arts is contributing to making Chippewa Falls a tourist destination. Chippewa Valley Cultural Association, Inc. 3 S. High Street ♦ Chippewa Falls, WI 54729 ♦ (715)726-9000 ♦ www.cvca.net Page 7 VOLUNTEERS Over 220 CVCA volunteers contributed approximately 12,000 hours over the past year to the Heyde Center for the Arts. It is important that we recognize individuals who dedicate their time, talents, and energy to making a The Difference Between a Center for the difference in our community. The Independent Sector, a non-partisan leadership network for nonprofits, foundations, and corporations committed to advancing the common good, estimates the value of volunteer time in Wisconsin is $21.78/hour. This comes to an estimated $261,360 of volunteer labor contributions per year to performing essential tasks for the Center including: publicity, front of house duties (selling tickets, ushering, etc.), directing and acting in community theater productions, completing important building maintenance and repairs, and fundraising. Arts and a Community Arts Center It was a warm Friday evening, in the middle of March. I was sitting at one of the tables in the auditorium with a friend, watching Jake Armerding and the Aeromatics play sweet melodies. After they finished their current song, Jake came up to the microphone to introduce their next piece. Before he did, though, he said something interesting to the audience: he said that he had been welcomed back to the Heyde Center by everyone with so much warmth, that he felt like he had become part of the family. When he said everyone, it was clearly directed at both the audience and those volunteering that night. Anna Phillips, CVCA Intern We try to recognize all the volunteers that have contributed their time to the success of the CVCA/Heyde Center for the Arts, but we realize that this is a nearly impossible task because so many people are involved in so many different areas. We have listed event volunteers, the board of directors, spring art show volunteers, but there are many other unique ways that people contribute their time and talents to the Center. For example, there are a number of performers who volunteer their time (Chill on the Hill, Swampers, vendors at Taste of the North), fund raising volunteers (such as: Deanne Rubenzer, Lisa Gienapp, Sue Holm, Pam Holsinger-Fuchs, ChiHi and McDonell students, etc.), Barb Buker (organizing the costume closet), Don Bichner and Phil Grosvold (flag maintenance), tech support (Jeremy Westin, Joel Wiltrout, Allison Leef), and the Lake Wissota Garden Club (flower arrangements).
