| Organizational Information | Vision: The Diablo Regional Arts Association's vision is for the LCA to be acknowledged as the leading regional center for the arts in the East Bay.Background: The Diablo Regional Arts Association (DRAA) enriches the lives of thousands of East Bay residents every year by supporting programs at Walnut Creek's Lesher Center for the Arts. Through its well-established business and community partnerships and fundraising expertise, DRAA helps organizations present professional-level theater, music, dance performances, visual arts exhibitions, and family events. We also sponsor activities to bring low-income children and other underserved populations to enjoy artistic opportunities at the Lesher Center. The hundreds of shows staged annually at the Lesher Center-with DRAA's assistance-enhance the East Bay's cultural and economic vitality and the region's overall quality of life.25Th Anniversary Campaign-------------------------On April 14, 2015, DRAA launched FIND YOUR CENTER, the Campaign to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Lesher Center for the Arts. The $5 million Campaign supports the Lesher Center by investing in artistically excellent new programming, state of the art technology, and in the next generation of arts supporters and performers through its educational outreach.Three lead gifts of $500,000 were pledged by philanthropist Sharon Simpson, Chevron Corporation, and the Lesher Foundation totaling $1.5 million. The Art Technology pillar is for capital expenditures, which is planned to be completed in the next few years. The Artistic Excellence gift is to bring high quality artistic programming to the center and to help DRAA expand its role as a Presenter. The Arts Education gift is to enhance our current Arts Education program by bringing in new programing. The Diablo Regional Arts Association (DRAA) is both the primary fundraising organization of the Lesher Center for the Arts (LCA) and the City of Walnut Creek's appointed curator for the LCA's professional programming and audience outreach. DRAA was incorporated in 1993 to be the community funding apparatus for the LCA. |
