ArtsCentric, Inc. is an African-American performing arts organization; a color-conscious organization committed to reexamining traditional roles in the arts, advancing original stories of specific cultures, and fostering educational advancement to strengthen the community through the power of theatre. ArtsCentric approaches the arts with a color-conscious lens when creating community-oriented and enriched education programs; specifically, the organization strives to positively impact a broad and diverse audience base, and uphold high standards of quality entertainment while using the arts to inform, change, and enhance lives one audience at a time. ArtsCentric's mission and core activities address three problems: racial inequity in the performing arts; a lack of opportunities for low-to-moderate-income artists of all ages to receive professional training for performance, education, and administrative careers in the arts; affordable access to the arts and cultural enrichment activities

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
