Overview
The Luther Burbank Center for the Arts provides a diverse array of performing arts, arts education, and visual arts programs that enrich, educate, and entertain North Bay residents. Each year, more than 150,000 people attend performances in its 1,600-seat theater, and its standards-based arts education and outreach programs serve another 30,000 K-12 students and teachers. Renewed support will help increase awareness of the Center’s role in its community, expand audiences through strategic partnerships, and bolster donor engagement to assist with the organization’s recovery following the Tubbs Fire, which destroyed approximately 25 percent of its campus and facility.

for facility repairs and capital improvements  
The Luther Burbank Center for the Arts (doing business as the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts as the result of a ten-year naming sponsorship with the financial institution in 2006) works to implement its mission to enrich, educate, and entertain its five-county community through a diverse calendar of arts and popular entertainment performances for more than 100,000 people in its 1,600-seat theater. The Center’s standards-based arts education and outreach programs serve 30,000 K-12 students through school shows, school residencies, and professional development for teachers. Support for the Bridge to the Future project would provide support for much-needed facility repairs and capital improvements to its forty-year-old venue.
