    HELP US MEET OUR MATCH:

    I hope to see you often at your Center for the Arts, Escondido!

    Jerry Van Leeuwen, Executive Director

    Dear Friendsof the Center,Since we fi rst opened our doors in October of 1994, the Center has aimed to be a hub for arts appreciation and a catalyst for arts education in Escondido and beyond. Somehow, I still regularly meet people who say that they have never sat in our theater, were unaware of the museum, and were surprised to hear that we work to bring the arts to over 10,000 students annually.

    When discussions began about themes for our 25th season, we knew we had to tackle this issue. You’ll notice our tagline for the year is inspired by the fl ickering glow of birthday candles

    and the people you want celebrating with you

    This year, we will add a little sparkle throughout the 25th

    anniversary season while we strive to grow connection by increasing the number of people engaged with our campus and our programs by 25%; an initiative we are calling 25 for 25.

    Simply said, we want to reach out to all of our neighbors to say 'Thank You' for the last 25 years and invite the community to learn more about all the Center has to offer. One of the ways we are looking to expand our reach is through this bi-monthly newsletter (in lieu of a yearly brochure). You’ll fi nd stacks of these available in English and Spanish at our events all year. In each issue, you’ll fi nd a comprehensive guide to a variety of free and ticketed events, as well as information on the

    impact our education programs are making through support from individual donors, grant funders, and corporate sponsors.

    We were recently given an early birthday gift to help increase community engagement. Now through October, your donation will be

    matched dollar-for-dollar once we meet our goal of $50,000! This $100,000 challenge is the gift of an anonymous donor dedicated to supporting arts appreciation and education at the Center and helping us meet the 25 for 25 goal.

    To do this, our teams are working diligently to curate our museum exhibitions, to book performers of all types, to explore interesting educational opportunities for all ages, and to bring diverse, high-caliber, free live music and cultural activities to our community. If you like what you see, hear, and feel – we invite you to donate and help us meet our match.
