High Desert Museum Rick Bartow
Annual Report 2023-2024

For the Fiscal Year July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024

Community is at the heart of everything we do, and it’s the community that makes ArtsWatch. It’s people who are committed to an essential trade that in turn supports the entire creative community. And it’s people who recognize that storytelling has the power to connect, engage, and make a difference.

We continued to build our capacity this past year to meet our growing needs. As this annual report shows, 91 people contributed to our coverage and operations. We economically supported 78 people, 23.8% more than the year before. It’s all about people.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to Oregon ArtsWatch in 2023-24 and made our essential arts journalism possible. It’s a privilege to serve our community.
