With support from the California Arts Council, Luther Burbank Memorial Foundation will expand enrollment in its Tools for Teachers professional development program by 50% through targeted outreach to underserved North Bay schools. With an increase from 131 to 196 teachers, we expect a minimum of 4,900 children will be served (196 teachers x 25 children). Tools for Teachers is key to growth in arts-integrated activities and to providing greater access and opportunity for North Bay youth.
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.
