1997 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 Dear Friends, We celebrate 2017 as TCAN’s 20th anniversary, remembering when a small group of volunteers first dreamed of creating an arts space that would “allow us to meet, understand, and accept each other.” Much has changed since TCAN presented local jazz bands and open mic nights in a 70-seat storefront, but our values remain the same. We are committed to offering a diverse variety of arts programs that includes local talent. We are committed to accessible and affordable programming that appeals to audiences of all ages. Most importantly, we remain committed to quality – presenting programs of the highest artistic standard possible that exceeds expectations of what can be done in a small, intimate venue.
2017
TABLE OF CONTENTS The highlights of 2017 were much more than events to commemorate our birthday, they were milestones in the continuing story of our growth. In late 2016, programs were suspended for several weeks to allow TCAN to complete a long-planned facility renovation. This included creation of a cinema room and a total redesign of the lobby, box office and concession area, resulting in a larger and more comfortable space for our patrons and members. Entering 2017 with the renovation now completed, we presented 178 performances featuring a wide variety of talented artists including Kathy Mattea, Sam Bush and Delta Rae. These mainstage events, together with community programs attracted more than 22,000 patrons in 2017. We expanded programming with our new digital cinema, screening 65 films to an audience of nearly 5,000 moviegoers. These screenings, which included new releases, Oscarnominated films, documentaries and classics attracted new patrons and contributed to a new peak in annual attendance.

“tcan clearly cares about the quality of the acoustics. the building is a renovated firehouse with its original four-arched bays and large wooden firehouse doors dominating one side of its brick and cement floor structure. these architectural details and materials lend a crispness and clarity to the sound at tcan. instrumental lines and vocals are heard distinctly, along with a nice quality of warmth and airy decay that make the crisp strum of a guitar or the velvety thump of a hammond b-3 organ note resonant and timbre rich.” – nelson brill, bostonconcertreviews.com t c a n a n n u a l r e p or t 2 018

SUPPORTING LOCAL TALENT TCAN supported local artists in 2017 by providing a variety of opportunities to perform and participate in the arts. Young children and their families enjoyed energetic musical performances, puppet theatre, jugglers and magic. Performers of all ages supported TCAN’s Folk Open Mic hosted by songwriter Mark Stepakoff of Wellesley. Visual art exhibits at TCAN by talented local artists and artisans provided greater visibility to their work and added cultural depth to live performances. Program Director Diane Young celebrated 20 years of Rock Off Main Street all-ages shows at TCAN with a grand finale featuring musicians who performed at ROM events since 1997.

NATICK’S ART HOUSE CINEMA Following a five-year fundraising campaign, TCAN completed a striking renovation of its upper level to create the region’s first art house cinema screening room. Our grand opening featured the Academy Award-winning film West Side Story, remastered in widescreen and glorious 8-channel HD sound. The screening room attracted nearly 5,000 patrons in 2017 who enjoyed Oscar-nominated new releases, documentaries and foreign films. In an exclusive Boston-area partnership with BroadwayHD, TCAN presented filmed performances of live stage productions including the Broadway musical She Loves Me and Macbeth – Live at Stratford Festival. In spring of 2019, TCAN will host its first annual MetroWest Student Film Festival to provide recognition for young writers, directors and filmmakers ages 14-19 in the MetroWest region. By extending our community programming to cinema, TCAN will continue to deliver on its mission of increasing opportunities to experience, participate in and learn about the arts.
GENERATIONS CAPITAL CAMPAIGN After years of study and strategic planning, our organization took a significant step forward in 2013 by launching the Generations Capital Campaign, with its goal to establish TCAN as a strong and sustainable organization capable of serving the region years into the future. The Generations Capital Campaign identified three key objectives required to meet that goal: • Utilize the entire Firehouse facility to deliver arts programs, including the upper level floor. • Retire all long-term debt related to the 2001 purchase and renovation of the facility. • Establish the financial reserves necessary to protect and preserve the entire facility. In late 2016, we met our first objective by completing a $1.3M renovation of the facility, creating a multipurpose function space that serves as an art house cinema screening room, function room and performance space. TCAN’s lobby was completely redesigned, increasing our capacity to serve the high volume of patrons visiting our facility throughout the year.
CAMPAIGN PROGRESS
$1,440,404 TODAY
We continue our efforts to raise the final $306,000 required to complete the other objectives of our Campaign, and emerge a stronger and more sustainable organization. Create a Legacy – Preserve this historical building and maintain TCAN as a regional arts destination – preserving an important cultural resource for the next generation. Ensure Sustainability – Maintain TCAN’s mission of access and affordability, maintain the volume and quality of arts programs, and ensure TCAN’s financial needs for the present and future may be addressed. Build Community – Enhance quality of life for the entire region, maintain a vibrant cultural district in Natick Center, and through the arts, bring families and people from all walks of life together.

EXPANDING POSSIBILITIES Access to the arts is the heart of TCAN’s mission. We believe the arts are fundamental to the human experience and creating a vibrant community. TCAN is committed to expanding opportunities for everyone to experience, participate in and learn about the arts. With the support of donor contributions, TCAN’s Access program provides ticket donations, ticket discounts, reduced-cost facility rental and program support to deserving families and organizations in the MetroWest region. In 2017, TCAN donated tickets to local schools, church groups, nonprofit community organizations, and civic causes. TCAN hosted numerous events and fundraisers for local nonprofits and provided a venue for youth recitals. Support from our donors, sponsors and contributing members makes this program possible.

COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP Over the past 20 years, community arts organizations like TCAN have been forced to raise increasing sums of money as growth in ticket revenue has not matched growth in operating expenses. Throughout TCAN’s history, local businesses, corporations and foundations have helped us close this gap by sponsoring programs and capital projects. While large organizations like the Boston Symphony and Museum of Fine Arts play an important and visible role in the region, our sponsors understand that smaller organizations like TCAN provide specific, valuable benefits to the individuals and families that make up our community. TCAN is particularly grateful for the leadership gifts received in 2017 from Atlantic Vision of Shrewsbury, long-time sponsors Middlesex Savings Bank and MutualOne Bank, Stonegate Group LLC, Distinctive Hospitality Group and The Verve-Crowne Plaza, and generous grants from the Nellie Mae Education Foundation, the Emma D. & John R. Quint Memorial Fund, and the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations.
DONORS GENEROUS BENEFACTORS TCAN’s Leadership Circle donors play a crucial role in supporting our organization and programming, and in 2017, they contributed generously to our Generations Capital Campaign. Their connection to this organization is genuine: they regularly attend performances, offer encouragement and constructive suggestions for improvement. They provide volunteer service in countless ways. They share our belief in TCAN’s access-based mission and understand the importance of the arts as a unifying force in our society. Through our Capital Campaign, TCAN’s donor population has grown to include men and women from across the region who share our values and wish to make a positive, tangible difference in the world. We are inspired by the positive example they set for all of us, and truly grateful for their generosity.
