ABOUT US
Since 2014, SCDT has grown from a small artist-run organization presenting a handful of events annually to a vibrant, cutting-edge nonprofit interdisciplinary arts organization. We are now creating new programming to respond to current COVID- and culturally-related challenges and demands. Prior to the pandemic, SCDT was on a steady trajectory towards a sustainable budget; since Spring 2020, we have kept our part-time employees and a presence online with most programming, although our income has diminished by about 50%. We have taken the opportunity to restructure, and cut expenses by moving to a more supportive building location that is dedicated to keeping low-cost space for artists available. We are working as a collaborative team with our sister organization A.P.E. on diversifying programming and sharing resources. We are now a more nimble, versatile organization, ready to serve our communities and spotlight process based work in more powerful pertinent ways. |
