For the first time we worked to make a tally of the in-kind donations to SDVAN. That means goods and services given to us instead of cash. Those figures are now complete for 2008 and they are a whopping $55,000. This does not include any volunteer hours which would take the figure off the charts! Together with Synergy Arts Foundation (our sister non-profit) we are happy to announce some of our figures from the California Cultural Project comparisons with like visual arts non-profits in our budget range. We have:

  • A third more than average volunteer hours
  • Three times the number of programs and double the number of opening receptions
  • Seven times the money contributed on our websites
  • Over 450 individual donors compared to the state average of 60

This has been a bumper year for SDVAN. We held two SD Art Prize shows at the L Street Gallery, the New Contemporary II exhibition of 13 emerging artists at Noel Baza Fine Art, and the widely inclusive Little and Large promotion at 41 venues throughout San Diego County and included over 100 artists.

We are currently working on the second Movers and Shakers project featuring more than 40 artists and the VIPs chosen to be portrayed and the 2010 SD Art Prize and New Contemporary III exhibitions. In the pipeline is a wonderful Art Meets Fashion promotion and a branding project where we are hoping to raise the profile of the local visual arts made in our region. We are trying hard to complete an update to the site content management system which will bring us in line with the most advance computer software for the SDVAN site and hopefully take care of some of our glitches.

Money given to SDVAN is money given to help the visual arts in the entire region of San Diego prosper and be recognized as the vibrant and creative resource that it truly is.

Immense thanks to the following for 2009 donations to SDVAN:
