With support from the CAC, Luther Burbank Memorial Foundation will further develop innovative in-school residencies within North Bay schools, reaching an additional 460 students at no-cost, a 72% increase in service. LBC’s Artists in the Schools will provide hands-on arts education experiences, led by trained artists. All residencies integrate one or more art form with one or more academic content area and reduce barriers to participation by bringing learning opportunities to the classroom.
LBC is the North Bay’s premier arts and events center presenting world-class performances, nationally-recognized education programs, contemporary visual art, and many popular community events. A 501(c)(3) private non-profit organization, the Center is ranked among the world’s top 100 performing arts presenters hosting performances in music, theater, dance, comedy, family programming and renowned speaker events; and serving more than 50,000 children annually through its Education Through the Arts programs. Located in the heart of the Sonoma wine country, the Center is owned and operated by the Luther Burbank Memorial Foundation, and relies on the generosity of members, donors, and sponsors to achieve its mission to enrich, educate, and entertain the North Bay community.
