About FRIENDS OF THE LAKEVILLE AREA ARTS CENTER

Friends of the Lakeville Area Arts Center (FLAAC) is an active, volunteer-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit that raises funds and organizes community arts programming in support of the Lakeville Area Arts Center. The organization operates public-facing events (including an annual Lakeville Art Festival and periodic downtown Art Crawl) and supports Youth Art Month exhibits, artist awards, capital improvements, and equipment purchases for the arts center. FLAAC has maintained regular IRS filings and community-facing activity in recent years, with fiscal-year filings showing modest annual budgets driven largely by festival and event fundraising and sponsorships. In the last 2–3 years the organization continued producing public events and sponsorship campaigns (including a 2024 sponsorship brochure) and reported annual revenues and expenses in the low tens of thousands, consistent with a small local arts-support nonprofit.
