Caldera Fall Preview
You Are Welcome to Our First Annual Fall Preview Reception!
Join us in May for an exclusive preview of our fall season of community events, including the launch of The Drawing Room: conversations exploring the impact of creative practice in our lives, and in our communities.
With The Drawing Room, Caldera will present an annual series of intimate gatherings designed to bring together community for small-scale, high-impact evenings, exploring the power of creativity. Together we will explore the unlimited potential of building vibrant and inclusive communities by harnessing the creative process.
We’ll discuss the impact of creative thinking, through the lens of change-makers, artists, and innovators who use the tools of a creative practice to shape their lives, and their communities.
Join us in May for a preview of this dynamic new series.
We’re bringing together a renowned neuroscientist, a celebrated visual artist, and Oregon’s Poet Laureate for a robust exploration of the impact of creative practice on the human brain, and how it shapes our world. We’ll round out the experience with a live musical performance that will bring out the explosive power of creative improv through jazz.
Join us on May 16 in Bend or May 30 in Portland as we stir together these creative minds in an exclusive gathering of Caldera supporters.
