Letter from Sherry Swayne, Chair of the Board of Directors On behalf of everyone at the Luther Burbank Memorial Foundation, I’m pleased to share with you the tremendous results of our 2014-15 season – the most successful season in our history!

It was a record-breaking year for ticket sales, donations and sponsorships. June marked the opening of our new outdoor sculpture garden, a significant new addition to the North Bay visual art landscape that is free and accessible to all. If you haven’t visited the sculpture garden yet, I encourage you to take a few minutes out of your day to enjoy the magnificent redwood sculptures by Sonoma County artist Bruce Johnson that comprise our first exhibit.

Beyond that, we continued to deliver our core mission by enriching, educating, and entertaining our community.

In the coming pages, you’ll see highlights of last season, and you’ll also learn about some of our programs that you might be less familiar with, like our Professional Development | Tools for Teachers program, which helps educators throughout the North Bay integrate the arts into their teaching of all core subjects, improving comprehension and retention. It is programs like this that enliven our campus all year long, and make a lasting impact on the families of the North Bay. As I conclude my three-year term as Chair of the Board of Directors, I’d like to thank all my fellow board members, the dedicated staff and volunteers of the Center, and each and every one of our supporters throughout the community that help make this important work possible. We couldn’t do it without you!

Sincerely,

Sherry Swayne | Chair, Board of Directors (2012-2015)

MADE POSSIBLE BY OUR DONORS AND MEMBERS

Professional Development: Tools For Teachers “It’s fun, energizing, a great way to learn and touches the heart.”

– Pamell Gallagher, 6th Grade Teacher Olivet Charter School, Santa Rosa

When funding for her school’s music program dried up during the last recession, 6th grade teacher Pamell Gallagher swung into action.

She felt a great sense of responsibility to bring more of the arts, which she sees as essential to learning, into her classroom. So she began regularly taking our Professional Development: Tools for Teachers workshops.

Bringing the arts into the classroom, Pamell says, “is about connection to self and others as well as self-expression.“

“When you incorporate the arts, expression and creativity into learning, it taps into something kids love about school,” says Pamell. “It’s fun, energizing, a great way to learn and touches the heart. It’s about being human.”

NEW OUTDOOR SCULPTURE GARDEN

Inaugural Exhibit: “Root 101”

By Acclaimed Local Artist Bruce Johnson “This is our gift to the community and we look forward

to this space becoming a popular destination, inviting people to enter, walk through, or experience as an oasis for relaxation and reflection.”

– Rick Nowlin, President & CEO

The inaugural exhibit in our new sculpture garden is comprised of colossal wood sculptures made from salvaged old growth redwood that artist Bruce Johnson has been working with for 50 years. Three years ago, Johnson acquired 80 tons (four truckloads) of huge salvaged redwood stumps and chunks, some trees over 1,000 years old near a tributary to the Eel River. “There is something primal and archetypal about these huge water washed forms,” observes Johnson. “Within the form of roots and swirl of grain you can see and touch patterns of nature and feel the fractal expression of growth and energy. These materials are the heart of the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts exhibit.”
