aldera is a nonprofit arts education organization
with a mission to foster creativity among
underserved youth and adults. Programs take place in
schools and community centers throughout Portland
and Central Oregon, and at Caldera’s Blue Lake
facility in the Oregon Cascades.
Believing that the arts and the out-of-doors are
powerful vehicles for fostering creativity and a strong
sense of self-worth, Caldera offers deep arts learning
experiences for kids who need it most. At Caldera,
the arts give young people a sense of self that can
imagine a world beyond narrow choices.
Caldera is building a vibrant community where
creativity will perpetually flourish. In addition to its
primary programs for young people, Caldera also
offers the gift of time to professional artists during
winter months at its Blue Lake facility. In 2006,
Caldera celebrated its 10th birthday with events and
gatherings that helped capture its history and dream

into the future. It was a great year!
It began in innocence.
But this dream has survived, grown and altered reality for thousands of children because no one involved, no one, was willing to
let it fade. Not the children, the artists, the naturalists, the schools, the foundations, the NEA, the staff of Caldera or the hundreds
of individuals like yourself.
As a result, many of those middle school kids who tumbled out of that bus 10 years ago and took up life in a tepee at Blue Lake
are now helping to run the camp. Several more are now in Caldera’s apprenticeship program, working throughout the year with a
professional artist, while others are heading off to college, seizing an opportunity they didn’t know existed 10 years ago.
Art changes lives.
Nature changes lives.
We suspected as much. But now, with your help, there is living proof. So please take a few minutes to review Caldera’s Annual
Report. You will quickly see that the programs have expanded, the financial picture has strengthened and, more importantly, the
number of children served has increased dramatically.
We fervently hope you will join us as we push into our second decade. While, because much has been accomplished, much, much
more remains to be done.
Thank You,

CELEBRATION OF THE DRUM
ENGAGES STUDENTS ALL YEAR
Each year Caldera immerses its Arts Partner Schools in a
specific artistic discipline. In the 2006-2007 school year, the
focus is percussion across cultures. Celebration of the Drum is
a multicultural extravaganza that brings Caldera middle school
students on stage in performance with master drummers Obo Addy,

LIFE AS AN
Apprentice
Last summer I found Lewis, a brown, plastic horse, in the “free box” of a bookstore in
my neighborhood. I took Lewis to camp with me and showed him to Julie, my Apprentice
photography teacher. She suggested that I take Lewis with me wherever I went and photograph
him in different settings. I wanted to focus on taking more pictures of people in portrait style, and
she thought Lewis might assist me.
I found a way to fit Lewis nicely into my camera case, and off we went in search of portrait
nirvana. Lewis found his way onto forest trails and the tops of children’s heads, he perched on
Cow-dera’s horn and he even fell into the stream—the rescue was very dramatic!
At the end of camp, my Apprentice slide show was filled with pictures of Lewis. He was a hit!
PHOTO BY KEVIN BALL
Our journey didn’t stop when camp was over. Lewis came home with me and our adventures
continued on the sidewalk outside of my apartment and daily on the city bus in Portland.
When I mounted my first show of photographs at Caldera in the Pearl, Lewis made his
appearance five times.
Lewis taught me that you don’t have to take a picture of anything super special, because even
though he’s a plastic horse, everyone loves pictures of him. I learned even the little things that we
do make an impact on the people around us. From smiling at our neighbors, to making people
smile with a picture.
Now I’m off to college and what Lewis has taught me will accompany me there.
People change the world every day. That’s what I’m going to do.
