ANNUAL REPORT
CALDERA

C
aldera is a nonprofit arts education organization whose mission is 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 selfworth, Caldera offers deep arts learning experiences for underserved youth. 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 youth, Caldera also offers fully underwritten retreats for artists during winter months at Caldera’s Blue Lake facility.
In 2004, Caldera completed the stunning Hearth Building, which promises to be a center for community forums,
performances, workshops and a wealth of creative endeavors in Central Oregon.

YOUTH PROGRAMS
NURTURE ARTISTIC VOICE
C
aldera’s Youth Program makes a difference in the
lives of underserved young people. Our program fills
the parental gap, providing positive adult role models
and creating a community offering meaningful learning
opportunities designed to make a long-term impact on
young lives.
Our goals for Youth Program participants are to increase
their interest and ability in the creative arts, to develop
methods of positive self-expression, to learn tools to
address conflict and challenges in a positive way and to
cultivate an appreciation for the natural environment.
Over the past year, 300 young people have participated
in our youth program. Caldera’s relationship with a
young person begins during a summer arts learning
retreat at our Blue Lake site in Central Oregon. Students
come to our land to immerse themselves in the creative
arts and the out-of-doors. During the school year,
Caldera artists reunite with students in their home
schools, through in-school residencies.

Youth Leadership Council Takes
Shape, Provides Service
Y
oung people who grow up in our program have
very clear ideas about what Caldera is and, more
importantly, what it should become. In order for
their voices to be heard, Immersion participants have
stepped forward to form Caldera’s first-ever youth
leadership council. This group of young leaders weigh
in on programming decisions. They will create a zine to
keep youth connected and informed on both sides of
the mountain. They will also take arts- and educationcentered fieldtrips—all funded by their own fundraising
efforts! This group joined forces with PICA by serving as
press corps during the TBA festival.

APPRENTICE PROGRAM
C
aldera’s exciting next step will support the positive
development of our high school students as they
prepare for college and begin to identify potential career
paths. The Apprentice program will offer apprenticeships
for young artists to work alongside professional
artists, connecting these young adults to appropriate
universities and career possibilities.

CALDERA
’04
T
his past fall, the Hearth Building opened its
soaring expanses of wood and glass, ushering
in year-round opportunities to increase Caldera’s
organizational sustainability and its next phase of
strategic development. Caldera welcomed audiences,
artists and educators to enjoy workshops and
performances, including a color and design institute
in Caldera’s beautiful art studios and “Rhythm Quest,”
a performance by internationally known dance artist
Brenda Bufalino. Many other exciting events are
planned at Caldera, including a statewide arts youth
summit in collaboration with the governor’s office.

Teachers Make Art and
Caldera Their Home
C
aldera’s unique combination of stunning outdoor
setting, cozy cabins and a state-of-the-art center
for the visual and performing arts makes it a perfect
home for arts education. Two groups of teachers were
among the first to enjoy arts education retreats at
Caldera in the summer of 2004.
In June, 12 high school teachers met at Caldera with
our Executive Director, Deb Brzoska, to plan their new
Gates-funded arts-based high school in Seattle. As a
former school designer for the Small Groups Project
of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Deb was
able to provide coaching and facilitation for the team
as they dreamed and planned their new school into
reality. Paddle boat races on Blue Lake provided
delightful breaks for these hard-working folks.
In July, more than 20 elementary classroom teachers
studied with Central Oregon’s own Annie Painter at
a three-day color and design institute. Working in
Caldera’s two art studios, the teachers explored the
magic of color, learning how to bring the arts back
to the children in their own classrooms. The teachers
earned graduate credit through Portland State
University. Evenings saw them continuing to work
on their own painting in the studios, sharing meals
in the cabins and star-gazing from the dock at Blue
Lake. Reports from the teachers about the beauty and
peace of Caldera were glowing and the Institute will
return to Caldera again in July 2005.

Bufalino Performs at Caldera
R
ecognized throughout the world, Brenda Bufalino
performs, lectures and teaches throughout the United
States, Europe and Australia. She performed in concert
with the late Charles “Honi” Coles, touring America,
England and France. In addition, she has appeared
as a guest soloist in such prestigious arenas as
Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, The Apollo Theater,
The Brooklyn Academy of Music, The Smithsonian
Institute and the Kennedy Center. A trailblazer in
the renaissance of jazz and tap dance, Brenda has
made her name as an author, actress, producer,
director, vocalist and performance artist. Her oneperson shows, “Cantata & The Blues,” “Journal Of A
Woodpecker,” “Unaccompanied,” and the tap opera
“Gertrude’s Nose” have delighted audiences in New York
City, the U.S. and abroad.

Foundations Help Caldera Build Organizational Capacity
C
Carol Yarrow
aldera is especially grateful to three major Oregon Foundations for their contributions in 2004 for
capacity-building. A grant of $30,000 from the Betty Lou Roberts Fund of the Oregon Community
Foundation is providing development technology and much-needed clerical support. The Maybelle Clark
Macdonald Fund generously contributed more than $70,000 to launch Caldera’s Friends campaign and the
November 3 "Caldera in the Pearl" event. Together the event and campaign generated more than $130,000
for Caldera in 2004. A grant of $180,000 over three years from The Meyer Memorial Trust will allow Caldera
to expand its youth programs and hire development staff, giving Caldera the gift of sustainability.

US BANK SETS STANDARD
FOR VOLUNTEERISM
O
ver the years, US Bank has generously contributed to
Caldera with cash grants, but it has also supported
us well beyond dollars, with volunteers—lots of them!
Teams of US Bank employees and their families have
made a commitment to spend one weekend in June to
help us create a comfortable home for the young people
who spend their summers with us on our land in Central
Oregon.
Since 1999, US Bank employees have helped us by setting
up tipis, building a volleyball court, painting and staining
buildings and decks, crafting a horse corral and creating
and planting a teaching garden that now provides some
of our seasonal produce. Volunteers have spent hours
cleaning the camp kitchen and have even scrubbed
bathrooms. It's not all work, though. We have also feasted
on great meals together, sung songs around the campfire
and—of course—enjoyed a s’more or two.
We will be forever grateful to Linda Wright at US Bank
for being our first corporate supporter and to the many
US Bank employees we now consider to be a part of the
Caldera family. Thanks so much for all you have done for
us over the years. You set the standard for volunteerism.

ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE 2004
Caldera Supports Professional Artists
I
n 2004, Caldera hosted 31 artists. Whether seasoned
or emerging, these poets, writers, musicians, painters
and photographers welcomed the uninterrupted time
and private space to pursue their individual creative
processes. They drew inspiration from the solitude and
natural surroundings of Caldera. Many chose to share
their creativity through workshops with students,
presentations in the local community or gifts of their
work to Caldera.
Just as the summer youth program was displaced by
the B & B Complex fire, artists scheduled for residencies
in fall/winter ’03 were forced to reschedule, with many
delayed to the next season. For some, this too offered
unique creative opportunities.
Rory Banyard
We would like to acknowledge the artists awarded
residencies in 2004 and their role in sustaining
Caldera’s mission of fostering creativity, provoking
experimentation and stimulating a deeper appreciation
for the environment.
