www.KaleidoscopeSchoolofFineArt.org The purpose of Kaleidoscope School of Fine Art, Inc. is to enrich the lives of individuals by promoting the fine arts for all ages, and inspire the exploration of creative potential that exists inside every human being. The latest name and business structure changes are in keeping with a renewal of the school’s mission through reorganization from a limited liability corporation to a not-for-profit corporation. This change was made to better serve the Barrington Area community. And it will allow for sustained growth through operation as a Tax Exempt, 501( c ) (3), organization. Kaleidoscope School of Fine Art, Inc. is officially eligible to receive tax exempt donor gifts, business sponsorships and grants along with regular tuition from students. Such gifts, grants and sponsorships will enable Kaleidoscope to boost the school’s scholarship fund offering tuition assistance when needed. Founder, Jill Funk, Kaleidoscope Staff, and the Board of Directors are excited about the possibilities for service to the community that this change to Non-profit status will allow. Besides being truer to the original vision of Jill and her late husband Dan, who began the school nearly 3 decades ago, the change to be a tax exempt institution will equip Kaleidoscope to have a sustainable structure that Jill and the school administration can eventually pass on to future generations. Long-time friends, students, supporters and fellow art enthusiasts in the larger Barrington area and surrounding communities are invited and encouraged to join with Kaleidoscope in this new chapter as a nurturing, growing, positive institution of Art Education. Stay tuned for opportunities to work alongside Kaleidoscope as they seek to expand their reach into the community providing the gift of Art instruction to students of every age, ability and income level. The focus of Kaleidoscope School of Fine Art is on the future and their goal, as ever, is to provide quality Fine Art instruction for many more decades to come.
