ANNUAL REPORT 2015-2016 2015-2016: By All of You, For All of You
Dear Friends,
Annual reports provide an opportunity for organizations like ours to reflect on our accomplishments over the past year, and to reaffirm our commitment to serving our community. The preparation of this report also reminds all of us of the faith, confidence and trust that you – our funders, donors, patrons, and good friends – place in us year after year. Our decades long partnership with our community has been made possible by the support of all of you, and the collaboration of all the institutions on our campus.
The mission of the Flint Cultural Center Corporation ‘to foster cultural activity and community vitality through history, science, and the arts’ is a vision we remain fully committed to through our management and administration of the Cultural Center campus. Our member organizations, Sloan Museum, Longway Planetarium, and The Whiting Auditorium continue to provide engaging, educational and entertaining programmatic content for our entire region. Please join us for a celebration of the arts, science and history.
Our campus and its institutions are hallmarks of the vibrancy that arts and culture bring to individuals and communities. From Longway Planetarium’s recent state- of-the-art renovation, to the Whiting’s efforts to restore and reopen Flint’s historic Capitol Theatre, our venues are thriving and growing. Sloan Museum has begun a design phase for an expansion and renovation that will lead to greatly enhanced exhibit and education classroom spaces.
We are proud of the programs and services we offer and recognize our responsibility to be faithful stewards of the philanthropic support we receive. Our programs are made possible by all of you, for all of you and our greater community; we pledge to continue to operate in ways that deserve your trust and confidence so together we continue to move Flint forward.

During the 2015-2016 season, more than 95,000 guests of all ages were entertained at The Whiting. Performances included Black Violin, Ragtime, The Musical, the Robert Cray Band, The Illusionists, Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, BlueMan Group, Annie, Romeo and Juliet, Its’ a Wonderful Life, Dracula, The Peking Acrobats, Broadway’s Next Hit Musical, and Hot Sardines. The following artists provided educational and outreach activities: Mistatim, Young Audiences New York (two week-long residencies featuring The Kite Runner, The Glass Castle, and The Giver) and Spencer’s Theatre of Illusion: Hocus Focus Program.
Throughout the 2015-2016 season, The Whiting served over 14,000 students and adults through its education and outreach programs!
As Mid-Michigan’s premier non-profit performing arts venue for more than 45 years, The Whiting takes the mystery, excitement, and intrigue of its stage and infuses it into the lives of the people within our community. With continued support The Whiting will grow, create, inspire, and enrich our community while advancing education for many generations to come. Sloan*Longway 2015-2016 in Review
The summer kicked off with the grand re-opening of Longway Planetarium in May 2015. The Weekend of Wonder was a free community event with bounce houses, science activities, and of course, shows in the radically renovated planetarium theater. A new light show was also created by planetarium staff, Cosmic Christmas. Along with the renovation, we launched First Fridays, where a lecture or fun science activity is done the first Friday evening of each month.
Sloan Museum hosted the exhibits The Scoop on Poop, Top Secret: License to Spy, and Water’s Extreme Journey. In September 2016, Sloan Museum was named 2015-2016 Museum of the Year by the Michigan Museum Association and received the Peninsula Prize award. This achievement was given as acknowledgement for the work done on the exhibit Water’s Extreme Journey. This traveling exhibit was used as a jumping off point to examine the Flint water crisis. With it, dynamic community programming was developed. Through the exhibit and programs visitors could delve into Flint’s water system history, examine current issues and solutions, and investigate the Flint River today.
Education programs continued to increase, with significant growth in outreach programs which now have a statewide reach. Membership also grew, with an increase in member attendance of 5.5% for the year. Overall for the year, Sloan*Longway saw an increase in attendance over the previous year of 22% for a total of 145,000 visitors. Financials
The Flint Cultural Center Corporation is expenditures. Major factors in generating this committed to maintaining financial stability surplus were effective cost controls and higher- and solvency within our organization. The than-expected development income from reason for our commitment is two-fold. First, planned gifts. We achieved these favorable and most obviously, the FCCC needs to remain financial results while maintaining the high level fiscally solvent in order to continue to provide of programmatic excellence that our patrons the quality programs and services that people have come to expect from Sloan*Longway and have come to expect from Sloan*Longway and The Whiting. The Whiting. Second, and equally important, we believe that a strong arts and cultural community can certainly bolster the local economy making the FCCC a stimulus for a stronger and more vibrant community. In 2015-2016 the FCCC had revenues that exceeded expenditures resulting in a modest surplus to be set aside for future needs and or unexpected Financials
