Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture
Mission: The chippewa valley cultural association (cvca) was formed in 1976 to accomplish two main goals: (1) to save the old mcdonell memorial high school building from destruction and restore it as a venue for the creative industry in the chippewa valley; and (2) to provide a venue and an opportunity for local artists, performers, writers and creative producers to explore, grow and share their talents with others in the region and beyond. Additionally, the cvca seeks to bring in gifted individuals and groups from outside the region as well with the vision of exposing chippewa valley residents to the talents of people from all over the world.
Programs: Performances: the cvca/heyde center offered 56 arts and cultural performances, 11 community events and 2 bus tours during the year. The performances included 10 theater productions (including 4 dinners), 23 musical concerts, 4 comedy events, 3 dance performances, 3 dances, 2 literary events plus 5 assorted other entertainment including food, acrobats, and film.
visual arts exhibits and sales: hundreds of artists displayed their work at the heyde center at two art fairs (spring art show and paint the town up and down art fair) and 16 visual exhibits(two exhibits featuring youth from the local school district). The cvca/heyde center receives 30% commission of art sales that happen during the exhibits.
workshops: the cvca offered free summer art classes for children between the ages of 4 - 10; space for a local children's theater to offer free/low cost drama workshops; and art classes for adults.
other expenses not directly allocated to program services such as publicity advertising, building maintenance and repair, facility rental cost, and member services/administration.
