me to think
differently

Caldera’s annual report 2009 – 2010
mission
Caldera’s
mission is to be
a catalyst for
transformation
through
innovative
art and
environmental
programs.
Caldera’s youth program provides underserved
Oregon children with year-round, long-term
mentoring through arts and nature projects,
beginning at age 11 and continuing through
young adulthood.
Caldera’s adult program offers monthlong
residencies to professional artists, providing the
gift of time and creative workspace at our Arts
Center in the Oregon Cascade Mountains.
Linking Caldera’s youth and adult programs is a
passionate belief in the power of creativity.
Caldera’s programs currently take place in schools
and communities in Portland, Bend, Redmond,
Terrebonne, Madras and Sisters, and at our Arts
Center located on 120 acres of mountain and
forest land at the edge of a volcanic lake west of
Sisters, Oregon.

As one of our students put it, Caldera’s art
programs are “cool weird”—as opposed to
the “dangerous weird” of gangs, drugs, early
pregnancies or dropping out.
Of Caldera 12th graders, 87% graduate or
attain their high school equivalency diplomas.
That’s focus! That’s cool weird!
Tea. Shoes. Jewelry. Recycled
fashion. Photographic self-portraits.
Films (documentaries, public service
announcements, creative shorts, personal life
stories). Advertising campaigns. Magazines.
Logos. T-shirts. Billboards. Electronics.
Interpretive plans for conservation areas.
What do they all have in common? Caldera
kids designed them in 2009 and 2010.
And while they designed all these “things,”
they were also designing their own lives.
Caldera kids set new goals for themselves,
solved problems, built strong, positive
relationships and envisioned life paths that,
before their engagement with the Caldera
community, might have seemed out of reach.
This is the essence of Caldera: a focus on art
is a way to focus on yourself, your life, your
community and the world’s future.
CALDERA KIDS ARE
TRANSFORMING
THEIR OWN LIVES
AND DESIGNING
NEW WORLDS FOR
ALL OF US.
I am in awe of their incredible spirit and
creativity. Read on to find it throughout this
report.

Youth Program
youth program
Since 1997, Caldera has
provided year-round, longterm, standards-based arts
education and mentoring to
over 1,600 underserved Oregon
youths. We offer direct,
intense, consistent (weekly),
continuous (we stick with each
of our students from age 11
through their early adulthood)
support to youths who are
struggling with a variety of
problems.
We provide direct service to 175 middle
school and 191 high school students from
a diversity of backgrounds in urban and
rural Oregon. To identify students who can
best benefit from our programs, we partner
with five Portland middle schools (H.B.
Lee, Jason Lee, Open Meadow, Peninsula
and SEI Academy) and six rural Oregon
middle schools (Sisters, Elton Gregory,
Jefferson County, Obsidian, Pilot Butte and
Terrebonne), all with significant populations
of underserved students. What links our
students is poverty; 80% of our students
are on free or reduced lunch programs and
live in households supporting an average
of five people on less than $35,000 a
year. And along with poverty comes a host
of problems. Our students struggle with
family breakdown, violence and substance
abuse; gang violence; and a general lack
of resources, encouragement and positive
adult role models. And while we do not
select students based on ethnicity, our
students, in 2009 and 2010, identify as
43% African American, 34% White/NonHispanic, 12% Latino/Hispanic, 7% Asian/
Pacific Islander, 2% Native American/Pacific
Islander and 2% Slavic.
Caldera employs paid mentors who meet
our middle schoolers weekly during the
year, for eight days during summer camp
and at other program events throughout the
year. When our students reach high school,
mentors design monthly weekend leadership
retreats in their communities, as well as field
trips and a 10-day summer camp session.
Specific youth program activities include
weekly art/mentoring classes, weeklong
artists’ residencies at the children’s schools,
weekend leadership workshops with
professional artists, a variety of special
community and creative-industry projects,
and a life-changing summer arts and nature
camp at our Arts Center in Central Oregon.
Our students receive about 200 hours of
concentrated, consistent support over a
year’s time, for the seven+ years they are in
the program.
8
We provide education in a variety of art
disciplines: painting, drawing, fiber arts,
design, photography, filmmaking, writing,
spoken word, hip-hop dance, traditional
West African drumming and sound
production. Our program activities are
research based and age appropriate, utilizing
Positive Youth Development (PYD) principles.
To be specific, Caldera:
• Emphasizes youths’ strengths rather than
weaknesses.
• Offers a variety of opportunities to learn
and practice good behaviors.
• Provides consistent, long-term
relationships with caring adults.
• Promotes positive peer relationships.
• Provides real opportunities for youths to
be leaders in their communities.
youth program
Caldera passionately believes that investing in
the children of today will make for a better world
tomorrow. We believe that art, nature and a supportive
community empower children who face serious
obstacles. A vital sign of our success is that, in 2009
and 2010, 100% of Caldera 8th graders transitioned
successfully to 9th grade, which is a fragile time for
many children who may otherwise drop out during
this time. In addition, 87% of Caldera 12th graders
graduated or attained their high school equivalency
diplomas. Finally, we are delighted to report that many
Caldera students are going on to colleges, skills
trainings, careers and, perhaps most importantly,
dedicating their lives to helping others, with many
volunteering at Caldera to ensure other youths have
the same experience they had.
Abbott-Carlson Scholarship Fund
“It is my belief that education is a
legacy that can be passed on through
future generations.”
—Linda Carlson Hart
Abbott-Carlson Scholarships are available for all
Caldera students who have completed high school
and plan on attending college or trade school.
Applicants are awarded scholarships based solely on
intent—it is not a competitive process. Scholarships
are based on need, and funds may be used only for
tuition, books, lab fees or expenses directly related to
post-secondary education.

“If I had never
heard of Caldera,
I would most
likely not be in
school; I would
not have the
self-esteem to
push myself
toward the things
I am working for.”

Every year, Caldera
chooses a thematic focus
to channel our creative
energies. For 2009 and
2010, we completed a
two-year focus on Art
+ Design, examining
the way art is used in
designing a wide variety
of items, organizations
and places.

storyboarding, writing, performing, graphics,
photography and film; and then applied what residencies and weekend leadership retreats

they learned in real projects. During these

for Caldera itself. They thought about their
experiences with Caldera and came up
with the symbol of the tree as evocative
of the interdependent community Caldera
is, with its nurturing, growing, live essence.
Students explored how trees and people
are interdependent; studied the ecology
of trees with naturalists and extended the
metaphor of the tree throughout their writing,
photography and filmmaking, and also
created tree logo T-shirts for all students to
wear at the following year’s camp.

In the fall of 2009, students participated
in Create! Don’t Hate, a Design Ignites
Change youth mentoring initiative. This sixweek program was built around the theme
of tolerance and empowered underserved
youths to use design to communicate ideas
and impact change in their communities.
Students worked with Michael Etter of Ziba
Design and re:active to create powerful
billboards that addressed tolerance in a
variety of ways. In March 2010, an exhibition
of designs was hosted at Pushdot Studio
in Portland, and several billboards were
installed in Portland (see photos).

The Invisibility Project is an education
curriculum designed by Teafly Peterson
and other Caldera staff to teach tolerance.
Students were asked to think of a time they
felt ignored as well as a time they ignored
or disempowered someone else. Students
created work to represent these times using
art and prose. In March 2010, Caldera
hosted an exhibition at the Pinckney Gallery
at Central Oregon Community College in
Bend, Oregon, showcasing their work.
Thanks to the support of Mt. Hood Cable
Regulatory Commission, Caldera was able
to purchase state-of-the-art film equipment
for students to use. The equipment has
allowed Caldera students to dramatically
broaden their skills, preparing them for
possible careers in creative technology and
allowing a greater breadth of creativity in
their films. In 2010, students also participated
in the Commission’s YourVo!ce initiative.
Over an eight-month period, students
created a half-hour documentary about how
Portland communities use communications
technology. Middle school and high school
students learned how to write and assemble
a creative, cohesive story based on the focus
of the initiative and their own ideas. Working
with Caldera’s filmmaking mentors, students
outlined, wrote, shot, acted in, created
animation and graphics for, and edited the
documentary.
youth program
In March 2010, high school students from
Central Oregon and Portland had the
opportunity to work with Steven Smith,
teamaker, and Steve Sandstrom, brand
designer, to design their own unique blend
of tea. Students worked hands-on at Smith’s
facilities in Portland to create personally
produced, small-batch tea while learning
about the creative process from beginning to
end. Following a secret taste test, students
chose a final blend as their favorite, which
was then re-created for a 100-box series of
Caldera Chai and sold at Paul Schneider
and Lauren Eulau’s fine arts and crafts store,
TWISTonline.com, with proceeds going to
Caldera.

Wieden+Kennedy creative director
Tyler Whisnand guided students through
an innovative branding and marketing
exercise. They created a hybrid business,
designed a logo, created a tagline and filmed
a commercial for the business.

A group of high school students participated
in a series of workshops with D’Wayne
Edwards, Nike’s Brand Jordan design
director, to learn the ins and outs of shoe
design. At the beginning of the workshop,
D’Wayne shared his own personal story
of transformation and talked of the power
of applying your passions to real-life
projects. D’Wayne’s workshops focused on
overcoming barriers, goal setting, design
philosophy and implementation. After the
workshop, D’Wayne offered a scholarship to
a Caldera student, Sade Beasley, to attend
his design camp, mesh01.com, which she
completed in spring 2010.

Students worked with filmmaker Libby
Spears and Caldera film mentor Billy
Miller to edit a segment of America’s Most
Wanted that focused on the issue of child
trafficking, as well as Libby’s documentary
Playground.
Students had the chance to meet Dave Dahl
from Dave’s Killer Bread. Dave presented
his story of transformation from a life of crime
and prison to reconciling with his family and
creating his own line of bread using local and
organic products. Beginning as a booth at
the Portland Saturday Market, Dave’s Killer
Bread has blossomed into a very successful
business. Dave told the students, “If I can do
it, so can you.”

Artist Denise Rowcroft worked with
students to create jewelry (bracelets,
necklaces and earrings) and sculptures out
of found objects—items that would normally
be thrown away. Students learned various
metal-working techniques. They also learned
to safely scavenge for found objects and use
a variety of tools.

Students worked with Caldera staff to study
the work of Shepard Fairey, most recently
known for his iconic 2008 Obama poster.
Students posed for a photograph and used
the photograph to create the main aspect
of their self-portrait. They chose one word
to describe themselves, incorporating it
into their portraits, and then chose colors to
complete the design. Some students took
the extra challenge of limiting themselves
to two colors, mimicking the work of early
printers and designers.

Building upon our relationship with the
National Forest Service, students gathered
on the banks of the Metolius River in
October 2010. The Forest Service worked
with students on designing and creating an
installation to help users enjoy the space.
Students took pictures, wrote poems and
collected their thoughts on how the river
made them feel. They provided their ideas in
a booklet to the forest rangers. The Forest
Service is now using this booklet in their
fund-raising efforts to build the visitor center
implementing student ideas.

adult Program

artists
in
residence
During the winter months at our Arts Center,
Caldera provides monthlong residencies to
professional artists: the gift of time and space to
create their work. Since 2002, Caldera has served
almost 300 artists in this way. Artists are awarded
residencies through a rigorous, independently
juried selection process (that is, chosen by an
expert panel that changes each year, and made up
of individuals outside of Caldera’s board and staff).
The residencies provide artists with workspace,
a beautiful natural environment and a community
of other artists during the critical early-creation
stages of their work. The result of this work ends
up traveling back into Oregon’s public cultural life
in the form of books, performances and exhibitions,
as well as in new collaborations and new ideas
that could only have formed in the special
atmosphere of a residency.
With our residency program, we demonstrate
our support of creative experimentation and
see ourselves as a “research and development
laboratory of the arts.”
We also value the lifelong learning that these
residencies represent, and model, for the young
people in our youth program. Caldera’s artist
residents often conduct special workshops and
presentations in the schools we work within, and
Caldera’s high schoolers visit the artists’ studios
for a glimpse into the artists’ creative processes.
Artist residents also present their work in free
“Open Studio” events—three each winter—that
welcome the Central Oregon community into
Caldera for work-in-progress readings, exhibitions
and performances.

“Without Caldera
giving me that
support at a crucial
moment of my
artistic life, I would
certainly be a more
discouraged artmaker, if indeed I
remained one at all.”
Caldera’s residency program is now gaining
recognition locally, nationally and internationally
(we host a number of international residents each
year). For instance, in 2010, we were honored to
receive an Oregon “Golden Spot” award from the
Ford Family Foundation, recognizing our support
—Jacob Coleman
of Oregon visual artists. The award allows us to
Artist in Residence, 2009
give special fellowships to Oregon visual artists
in our program. Caldera was also featured in a
report by the Alliance of Artists Communities (the
national membership consortium of artist residency
programs) spotlighting our dance residencies,
as Caldera is one of the few residency programs
in the United States that accommodates dance
companies.

2009 highlight
In 2009, Caldera hosted a special curated residency
with Reggie Wilson’s Fist & Heel Performance
Group and Andreya Ouamba’s Premier Temps dance
company. Both companies gathered in Central
Oregon for 17 days to work on a new production,
“The Good Dance,” which premiered at the Walker
Art Center in Minneapolis in 2010. During their
residency, the companies conducted workshops with
Caldera youths and staged public work-in-progress
performances at our Arts Center in Central Oregon
and at Conduit in Portland.
2010 highlight
In June 2010, Caldera hosted a curated residency
with Oregon Ballet Theatre. OBT brought
seven dancers to Central Oregon for a week to
choreograph new dances and develop ongoing work.
At the end of the week, the company conducted
three dress rehearsals open to the public, including
talks and question-and-answer periods with
Christopher Stowell, OBT artistic director, and Anne
Mueller, OBT principal dancer and choreographer
(now the artistic coordinator).

24/7
On October 23, 2009, Caldera hosted our annual
fund-raiser, called 24/7, on the 6th-floor terrace
of the Wieden+Kennedy building in Portland.
The event featured a student art sale, a wine
pull and the opportunity to bid on special stories
that Caldera youths had written about their lives,
presented in beautifully designed packages.
With over 100 in attendance, Caldera raised over
$30,000.

To celebrate our students’ efforts at the end of
the 2008–2009 Words Without Walls writing
and spoken arts focus, we hosted a First
Thursday student exhibition in June 2009 at the
Wieden+Kennedy building. Students performed
their own original work alongside professional
artists Good Sista/Bad Sista, Madgesdiq and
special guest Grand Slam Poetry Champion Bryonn
Bain. Bryonn is a Brooklyn prison activist, hip-hop
artist, spoken word poet, author, actor and educator.
Madgesdiq
events
Bryonn Bain is Brooklyn’s own prison activist, hip hop
artist, spoken word poet, author, actor, and educator. Described by Cornel West as an artist who “speak’s his truth
with a power we desperately need to hear,” Bain hosts
BET-J’s award-winning talk show My Two Cents.
Wrongfully imprisoned during his second year at Harvard
Law, Bryonn sued the NYPD, was interviewed by Mike
Wallace on 60 Minutes, and wrote the Village Voice cover story—“Walking While Black”—which drew the largest
response in the history of the nation’s most widely read
progressive newspaper.
“I Wanna Be Free”, these are the words of the ever so
engaging artist known as Madgesdiq. After a brief professional basketball career, which took him to many different countries around the world, including Brazil and
Portugal, Madgesdiq set out on a new journey, one that
would eventually lead him back to his childhood hobbies
of writing and music. Madgesdiq’s CD, “I Wanna Be Free”
is available at www.myspace.com/madgesdiq.
friends events
In 2009, encouraged by a Match Challenge Grant
from the Maybelle Clark Macdonald Fund, Caldera
began a Friend campaign. In 2009 and 2010,
Caldera hosted special receptions to increase our
donations and both were huge successes. We met
our goal of 75 new Friends in 2009 and 50 in
2010. Thank you to the Maybelle Clark Macdonald
Fund for this opportunity, and thank you to all of the
Friends of Caldera who made it possible.
