Treasurer's Report on
Preliminary Financial Statements
f or Georgetown Art W orks f or
Year Ending Dec. 31, 2020
The preliminary financial statements for the Georgetown Art W orks for 2020 are unaudited
draft results which may undergo material revision prior to release of final results for the year.
The following comments are contingent on the current results. Footnotes to the financial
statements identify the major components of selected items in the statements.
Financial Activity
Despite the many challenges of 2020—including the closure or limited hours of operation of
the Georgetown Art Center from mid-March through August due to the impact of
COVID-19—the Art W orks experienced a gain in revenues of 3.5 percent. The Art Center is
operated by the Georgetown Art W orks under an agreement with the City of Georgetown.
This revenue increase reflected the combined impact of a fundraising campaign early
in the year (before the pandemic cut the campaign short), much-welcomed emergency and
other grants from the City of Georgetown and other funding sources, and full-occupancy
income from rentals of studio space to local artists. Together, these sources more than
offset a sharp drop in donations to the Art W orks and in sales of art on behalf of area artists.
At the same tim e, expenditures fell by about 15 percent, largely due to the layoff and
reduced hours of the Art Center's sole paid staff person during the closure/restriction of
the Art Center.
Financial Position
W hile the Art W orks ended 2020 in the strongest asset position of its existence, including
$52,254 in its bank accounts—that result was accompanied by the impact of emergency
loans on the liability side of the balance sheet. In aggregate, the Art W orks took on short-
and long-term debt totaling $23,500 in 2020.
On the plus side, with prudent management the infusion of cash put the Art W orks in
position to weather a much more severe and extended impact of the pandemic. Positive too
are the highly favorable interest rate and payment terms of the largest loan, the $21,500
borrowed under the SBA's EIDL program. On the less positive side, the size of the new
liability m ay impair the Art W orks' ability to obtain future emergency loans over the 30-year
term of the loan.
Accounting Operations
As part of its ongoing program to strengthen its financial recordkeeping, the Art W orks has
hired Silva Business Services of Georgetown, Texas to provide bookkeeping for the
organization. It has also engaged the accounting firm Reynolds & Franke, PC, of Austin,
Texas to prepare its tax returns and to provide accounting advice.
