ANNUAL REPORT Fiscal Year 2014
Summer camp students creating a wall mural project
We have completed a monumental year in the history of the Workhouse Arts Foundation. When the last prisoner left the campus in 2001 a group of visionary leaders ignited the community behind the idea of transforming the Workhouse into a multi-disciplinary arts center, a place to be inspired, to learn a new skill, and to come together with friends and family. Fourteen years later, ten of the thirteen core buildings has been renovated into state-of-the-art facilities, a team of talented and dedicated staff have been assembled, and hundreds of classes and events are held year round to educate and entertain the members of our community. In January 2014, with tremendous support from Fairfax County, the debt associated with the building improvements was eliminated. For the first time, the Foundation is able to operate high-quality programs in extraordinary facilities on strong financial footing. In addition to this major financial accomplishment, this report highlights the many successes that occurred over the past year. Beyond the facts and figures, we share our story and welcome everyone to join us as we move forward to expand our offerings in visual arts, performing arts, and arts education – together.

WORKHOUSE ARTS CENTER | ANNUAL REPORT FY2014| PAGE 3
YEAR IN REVIEW FROM CEO: Fiscal year 2014 was a significant milestone for the Workhouse Arts Center. On January 31, 2014, our $60 million in bond debt with Wells Fargo was eliminated. Simply put, we sold our $30 million of leasehold improvements to Fairfax County. Instead of paying us, the County negotiated fifty cents on the dollar bond settlement. Wells Fargo accepted and was paid the $30 million. The Workhouse Arts Foundation is debt free. Associated with the bond settlement, it was agreed that: • The Workhouse Arts Foundation will no longer receive annual Fairfax County grants for operating support. • Our Workhouse Arts Center must be a self-sustaining operation. • We must establish a $500,000 special reserve to backstop our operational budget (and this has been done already). • Annual budgets must be approved by the County. A few statistics tell the story. Over the past fiscal year, we had: • Studio occupancy – 93% Young artists learning at the Workhouse
YEAR IN REVIEW FROM CHAIRMAN Having spent over 12 years on the Workhouse board of directors, I believe that FY2014 was the best and most promising in our history. With this year’s bond settlement, the Workhouse is on a solid financial foundation. Now selfsufficient, we have established an endowment reserve to stabilize operations and invest in the future. Now we look ahead to expanding programs and events, along with multiyear strategic planning. Fundraising. Our strength was bolstered by over $800,000 in fundraising, including the gifts, large and small, of hundreds of people and organizations. Board leadership. We are strengthened by new board leadership. We are now called the Workhouse Arts Foundation and have elected a board of directors with a wider regional reach and deeper roots in the area’s business community. Strategic partners. Strategic partnerships are the cornerstone of our future plans. These help us to leverage and build on the strengths of other organizations that share our mission and values and can help to create a presence at the Workhouse. George Mason University, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Metropolitan School for the Arts and the Friends of the Workhouse each play a key role. Our broadening base. The Workhouse’s educational, visual and performing arts programs served over 75,000 students, artists, volunteers and visitors during this past year. The Springfest Festival, July 4th celebration and a two-day Vietnamese cultural festival drew large crowds. The “Earth and Fire” ceramics exhibition the Workhouse 35 recognized clay artists from nine Southeast Asian countries as well as our honorary chairman, His Excellency Hem Heng, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Cambodia.

ARTISTS AT THE WORKHOUSE Over sixty juried artists have studios at the Workhouse where they not only create and display their work, but also invite the community into the process as the art moves from initial concept to completion.
The artists at the Workhouse represent some of the greatest talent in the region.

A STORY OF INSPIRATION: ONE YOUNG ARTIST’S JOURNEY High school sophomore, Jackie Westbrook, began her artistic journey with the Workhouse seven years ago when she became a summer art camp regular. As with every journey in life, Jackie’s artistic path was not always smooth. In fact, when she started classes at the Workhouse she was less than thrilled about having to participate in structured art education, especially when it came to a discipline she believed should come strictly from within. Jackie recalls, “I didn’t like the art with instruction aspect at first.” Over time however, she says, “I grew to understand that the teachers knew and respected that art didn’t need to be structured. They still want you to stay on your own path but also take in their instruction. The teachers really know what they are doing. They gave me a lot of ideas and taught me how to capture the things around me.”
Summer High School Arts Intensive
ARTS EDUCATION Arts education is a major program at the Workhouse, and we have continued to experience growth over the past year. In fact, we added a full-time staff member to our education department to manage our growing summer camps and year-round outreach activities and field trips. In 2014, we renovated a space on campus to accommodate our growing culinary classes. Students of all ages come to the Workhouse to cultivate their culinary skills in everything from holiday baking to exotic delicacies. Our arts education work has expanded beyond the thousands of students we serve on our campus. Through partnerships with Laurel Hill Elementary and Silverbrook Elementary, we integrate the arts to support STEM curriculum (science, technology, engineering, and math). These programs are helping students build foundations for lifelong success.
“The camp activities were very creative. It made me be open minded and ignore my self-consciousness.” -15 year old female camper
With the help of her art instructors, Jackie grew from art student rebel to winning best in show in the summer of 2014. This past summer was Jackie’s last with the Workhouse art camp program, as she begins to focus on preparing for college. She looks back on her summers at the Workhouse with warm memories describing relationships she built with likeminded peers, and her fondness for the Workhouse faculty. “I made a lot of new friends, and I enjoyed being around other artists like me. Plus the teachers were really knowledgeable and nice.” Even though Jackie says she doesn’t plan on making art her career (she wants to be a doctor), she will always make painting a big part of her life. “Painting is a hobby and will always be in the background, but I love this place and would recommend it to up and coming artists.” Jackie’s story of artistic development at Workhouse Arts Center is inspirational and will hopefully be one of many stories to come.

ART OF MOVEMENT MIND/BODY PROGRAM
This past year, we offered a comprehensive list of mind-body programs for those wanting to explore the art of movement and the physical health benefits it offers. From traditional yoga, Pilates, and cycling classes to the more unique classes like rowflow, aromat yoga, and children’s hula, the Workhouse had the community moving in 2013/2014. Here are some of the highlights:
Rowing classes for trainers
Angie Hart, one of only a few master trainers in the country – held a certification course that was held on our campus, one of the only offerings on the east coast.
Hybrid classes
Row-flow is an original class we offer that combines the best of rowing and the best of yoga. This hybrid class is pure fluidity-inmotion. Participants alternate between the rowing machine and the yoga mat while they increase stamina and decrease stress!
Aromatherapy
The Workhouse offered unique aromatherapy classes like aromat yoga that use yoga and essential oils to restore and balance the body and mind. This workshop series combines yoga and aromatic essential oils to detox, energize, relax, and recharge body energies. Pilates Reformer

AMERICAN WOMEN: The Long and Winding Road
PRISON MUSEUM & HISTORY The Workhouse Prison Museum is dedicated to preserving the history of the District of Columbia’s Correctional Complex at Lorton. The exhibits explore the opening in 1910 until the last prisoner left in 2001. In addition to the regular exhibits, the Workhouse Museum and History Committee organizes a popular lecture series. Over the past year, five lectures have been presented that take attendees through the different aspects of the Prison’s unique history.

THE STAGE: PERFORMING ARTS AT THE WORKHOUSE
HIGHIGHTS: In response to greater demand, our performing arts program expanded over the past year. The expansion of events necessitated a part-time hire to manage the hundreds of performances offered throughout the year. Our original Cabaret series has become so popular that we are now presenting it every month, and have added Friday evenings and Sunday matinees to accommodate the demand. We have also experienced tremendous artistic growth. The performers that grace our stage include regulars at Signature Theater, The Kennedy Center, Washington National Opera, Wolf Trap Opera, as well as Helen Hayes Award winners. The Workhouse has developed producing partnerships with Pandemonium Theatrical, Unquiet Theater Company, Mount Vernon Nights, Clifton Film Festival, and Cool Cow Comedy to offer diverse theatrical experiences that complement our original productions and presenting schedule.
An Interview with Theater Patron: Pamela Gross Earlier this year, we sat down with Pamela Gross, an active theater goer to ask her about her experience with the performing arts at the Workhouse. What was the first performance you attended at the Workhouse? Hmm…you are asking me to think very far back! I believe the first show was The US Navy Band Windjammers. How often do you come to shows? As often as I can. My daughter and I attend the Cool Cow Comedy shows every month. My granddaughter and I try to go to all of the children’s plays – we both love them! I check the schedule and go on my own when I don’t have other plans. How would you describe the experience of coming to a show at the Workhouse? Amazing! I have gotten to know a lot of people by coming to events. Joey Wallen (Director of Performing Arts) is the best. Are there specific things you enjoy about the programming? I’m so glad to see the programs expanding. Hopefully, more people will find out about what you are offering and attend. I loved “The Death of the Devereux.” It was very funny and I liked the audience participation. What role do you think the Workhouse plays in the community? There are so many things to do: different classes, plays, shows, and lectures. The art is amazing. There is a lot to learn and do through all of these events. Every time I come, I learn about new programs in the works. The Fourth of July events have been great. I loved doing the Haunted Trail with my granddaughter, the Christmas event with the firepits, s’mores, and singing was so much fun. I really appreciate that you are offering so many events year round that I can enjoy with my family and friends.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT &
VOLUNTEERS
The Workhouse relies on nearly 150 volunteers to operate its large campus and produce all of the visual art, performing art, and arts education activities – programs that serve more than 75,000 individuals annually. Volunteers support our programs by being a friendly face at the desks in our galleries, ushering performances in the W-3 Theatre, directing cars at large community events, and helping around the office and classrooms. We couldn’t do it without our terrific team of volunteers!

Where Friendships Are Discovered: June Tutu and Darlene Thompson Harriet Beecher Stowe once said, “Friendships are discovered rather than made.” It is here, while volunteering at the Workhouse, that June Tutu and Darlene Thompson found themselves embarking on one such discovery. In 2008, while stuffing envelopes, June and Darlene met each other. As they moved from stuffing envelopes to volunteering at Workhouse’s Ballroom dancing and Cabaret nights, the two discovered they had a similar interest in volunteering with the arts and a dedication to doing things “the right way.” Since their friendship began, they have become regulars and favorites at Workhouse’s Cabaret nights, going above and beyond the call of duty. They do an extensive amount of work for the events that includes the set-up and take-down of chairs and tables among other things. This responsibility requires them to arrive well before the first patron and linger long after the curtain closes. If you ask them, however, about their favorite part of what they do they will gladly tell you it’s the people! Darlene describes their dedication to the patron’s experience by saying, “We like the people. We’ve met so many and we try to help make it a pleasant experience for them.” And when asked why she goes above and beyond June says, “We really just like to do it. We dress the part, and I even get up on stage and get a couple of dances.” While June and Darlene enjoy working together best, they admit that because they are such a well-oiled machine they could fill in for each other’s role on their own if needed. The friendship that has grown between these two ladies, as a result of their volunteer efforts at the Workhouse, has benefited and enriched the experiences of our patrons. The Workhouse is honored to be a place that has fostered such friendships and proud of the hard work of its volunteers like June and Darlene.

FUNDRAISING Friends of the Workhouse The Friends of the Workhouse, the membership group of the Workhouse Arts Center, grew to nearly 300 active members. As annual contributors to the Workhouse, The Friends enjoyed member benefits throughout the year. They enjoyed exclusive receptions, special classes with studio artists, discount pricing on select performances and by invitation only activities such as the Ice Cream Social Preview which offers Friends the opportunity to select the best handmade bowls before the public.
Workhouse Arts Center Gala Our annual Workhouse Arts Center Gala attracted 150 individuals, government officials, and business leaders for an elegant evening that raised $150,000 in support of the Workhouse arts, education, and history programs. Kate Hanley, former Chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors was honored and recieved the Lorton Arts Foundation Founders Award.
Richard Hausler, WAF Chairman, presents the Founders Award to Kate Hanley, former Chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Directors.
Workhouse Golf Classic The Workhouse Golf Classic raised $40,000 through a fun-filled day at Laurel Hill Golf Course. We appreciated Vulcan Materials support as the lead sponsor for the tournament. As a new addition to this event, several artists at the Workhouse brought their easels to the course and created Plien Air paintings of the beautiful greens that were auctioned during the Luncheon Awards Ceremony.
Collectors Showcase The Collectors Showcase benefitted the Workhouse with a lively lottery-style event that promoted the talented artists at the Workhouse. 78 pieces of various media including glass, ceramics, painting, wood, photography and fiber arts represented the amazing breth of work created by the Artists at the Workhouse. This year, Jack Rasmussen, the curator and gallery direction of the American University Museum at the Katzen Center in Washington, DC, served as the curator for this exhibition. Lynn Goldstein’s pastel painting “Dusting” was selected as the best-in-show amoung the works displayed for the Collectors Showcase.
