The Arvada Center is an absolutely amazing place full of creativity, music, and great times. I have been going to the Arvada Center for my entire life, for school field trips, summer camps, concerts, musicals, plays, and banquet functions. The staff is always friendly, the parking is ample and free, and the shows they have there are spectacular. — Scott N.

2014 was a year of change and expansion for the Arvada Center. In addition to exciting new programming, we made substantial progress in our transition to private, nonprofit governance.

The biggest artistic expansion was in music, where existing programming gave us an excellent foundation from which to build a comprehensive new program. The Jeffrey Seigel Keyboard ConversationsTM celebrated its 27th season, and we made plans to expand the current evening concert series to include morning coffee concerts, beginning in fall 2015. Our summer concert series experienced artistic growth through a new partnership with Swallow Hill Music Association, and we launched our first season with a resident musical ensemble – the Colorado Chamber Orchestra.

Our humanities program included a three-day symposium which brought together artists, scholars, politicians, scientists and activ-ists to examine the background and aftermath of the 1989 FBI/EPA raid on the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons facility. Another major program, in partnership with the Chabad of NW Metro Denver, was a moving talk by Eva Schloss, Holocaust survivor and stepsister of Anne Frank. Both of these programs brought hundreds of new patrons to the Center.

In our gallery program, we were pleased to offer UNBOUND: Sculpture in the Field, an exhibi-tion of outdoor sculpture by some of Colorado’s top artists. In partnership with the Museum of Outdoor Arts, this temporary exhibition has been extended for more than a year, as we seek ways to transform the field into a permanent, landscaped sculpture park.

We again offered a wide range of work in our theatres, from a sellout production of Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap to a much-admired production of the musical Memphis, which garnered nine Henry Award nominations from the Colorado Theatre Guild.

Lastly, our progress toward nonprofit governance advanced through a series of key Arvada City Council votes, the appointment of our founding board of directors and the negotiation of a twenty-year cooperative agreement between the City and the Arvada Center. We remain on track to transition the Arvada Center on July 1, 2016 – just in time for our 40th Anniversary.

As a department of the City of Arvada, the Arvada Center has received significant financial and service support from the City over the last 39 years. This support has allowed the Center to grow beyond Arvada into a regional arts organization that serves the entire metropolitan area. Due to this tremendous growth, the City and the Center have been exploring other governance models that would better serve the Arvada Center and its patrons. After several comprehensive studies, the Arvada City Council has voted to transition the Arvada Center to a privately-run nonprofit organization that will take effect July 1, 2016.

This transition will be an exciting time for the Arvada Center and it coincides with the Arvada Center’s 40th Anniversary, which is another reason to celebrate. As with any change, there may be a few bumps along the way. However, our hope is that these bumps are mostly positive. The City will continue to support the Center as it always has, and the new governance model will allow the Center to offer new and innovative programming along with its award-winning theatre productions, art exhibitions and educational programs.

The autonomy from the City will enable the Center to function like a true cultural arts center, rather than a department of city government. This nonprofit will be “new,” but with deep roots in the community. It will have the advantages of an established organization with loyal patrons and donors, but with new and fresh leadership that will focus on improving the Center overall.

Naturally, with these changes and improvements the funding needs for the Center will grow. Research shows that as a private nonprofit, the Arvada Center will be well positioned to cultivate new relationships and partnerships to increase its contributed income. Once the transition is complete, the Center, without its municipal connection, will be eligible to apply for all types of funding. And, patrons who previously did not want to make donations to a City-run department can now be assured that their contributions will further the mission of the Arvada Center. We are excited about the possibilities of what we can accomplish on our own.

As the Crown Jewel of Arvada, we are confident that we will create a stronger and more sustainable multidisciplinary arts organi-zation that you can enjoy for many years to come.

BLACK BOX THEATRE PRODUCTIONS

The MousetrapThe Great Gatsby – Regional Premiere

In April, the Arvada Center produced a live reading of the radio play Embers, by Samuel Beckett, in support of the Clyfford Still Museum exhibition, 1959: The Albright-Knox Art Gallery Exhibition Recreated.

In the late 1950s, when Clyfford Still and his fel-low Abstract Expressionists were at the height of their popularity, theatre artists were strug-gling to move past the constraints of Realism – and perhaps none succeeded as well as Nobel Laureate Samuel Beckett.

The live reading was presented in the Center’s Black Box Theatre and also at the Clyfford Still Museum. Prior to the reading, Amanda Giguere, Ph.D. and lecturer at CU Boulder, set the stage with an introductory talk about Beckett’s impact on the theatre and his resonance with other artistic experiments in visual arts, music, and dance.

The Glass Menageriepresented by Phamaly Theatre CompanyThe Arvada Center offers patrons a special engagement production each year. In 2014, and for the past several years, the Arvada Center has proudly partnered with Phamaly Theatre Company, which presents profession-al-scale plays and musicals exclusively starring actors with disabilities. In 2012, 5280 magazine ranked Phamaly as the Top Theatre Company, and Phamaly won the 2012 Alliance for Colorado Theatre Community/Professional Theatre Company of the Year award.

The Last Romancepresented by Creede Repertory Theatre In 2014, Arvada Center audiences were treated to the Creede Repertory Theatre production of The Last Romance, a delightful romantic comedy about love in the golden years. Founded in 1966, Creede Repertory Theatre is a professional theatre company located at 9,000 feet in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. CRT’s company produc-es big city quality productions in a spectacular location each summer, and for the past six years has brought one of their award-winning productions to the Arvada Center.

Tarzan: A High Flying ProductionFor the Center’s 2014 summer musical Tarzan, eight performers took to the vines and learned to fly with the help of Flying by Foy, a leader in aerial performance that has done flight design for Broadway shows such as Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Mary Poppins. The last time the Arvada Center undertook such a high-flying show was Peter Pan in 1992, which also used Flying by Foy. The Tarzan cast underwent four intense days of flight training, and unlike some Broadway shows that use computer-ized flying sequences, the Center’s production relied on trained flight operators to manually make the arcs and grand swings that audiences expect of Tarzan.

LYLE THE CROCODILE The Arvada Center offers award-winning theatre for chil-dren throughout the school year, including shadow-in-terpreted and audio-described performances so that students with hearing and visual challenges are able to enjoy and participate in live theatre alongside their classmates. The Center’s production for 2014 was Lyle the Crocodile, featuring an extraordinary crocodile that can tap dance, perform household chores and rescue cats from burning buildings. Nearly 46,000 school chil-dren enjoyed this delightful musical tale during 2014, all the while learning about not judging others by their appearance and about loving people (and crocodiles) for who they are.

Lyle the Crocodile was absolutely delightful and had me giggling along with the kids in the audience the entire time! — Michael Mulhern, broadwayworld.com

The children’s theater provided by the Arvada Center is always such a high quality production!!! And it is a good value, at your reasonable ticket price! The kids (and adults!) marvel at the creative ways you bring a story to life (set! costumes!). Your people who handle our requests for tickets and follow-up are always so friendly and helpful. Thank you again for a great theater experience! — Sierra Elementary School

The Arvada Center is also known for its creative and stimulating outreach programming that brings arts and cultural experiences to schools and youth-serving organizations. In 2014, the Cen-ter’s outreach program made a difference in the lives of nearly 8,600 children and youth throughout the Denver metro area.

My students were over the moon and loved their arts day experience. The instructors were wonderful and worked well with my students. — South Elementary

FRONT RANGE YOUTH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRASThe Arvada Center’s Front Range Youth Symphony Orchestras (FRYS) bring together aspiring young mu-sicians from across Colorado’s Front Range for unique study and training in orchestral music. With four levels of participation — Youth Symphony, Chamber Orchestra, Concert Strings Orchestra and Academy Strings — FRYS provides professional section coaches, guest artists, master classes and the opportunity to perform in the Center’s Main Stage Theatre. Concerts for 2014 included Americana, Annual Teacher Appreciation Concert and Autumn Beauty.

THEATRE ACADEMYPreparing young artists for the stage

The Arvada Center Theatre Academy offers students, from beginning to advanced, year-round training so they can develop skills and knowledge in all areas of theatre arts. From comedy and improvisation to musical and classical theatre, students learn the skills they need for the stage. Training culminates each summer in fully-staged drama camps, ranging from three to five weeks. 2014 pro-ductions included Pinocchio, Much Ado About Nothing, Sound of Music, Urinetown, Fame and Trifles Light as Air.

DANCE PROGRAMThe Arvada Center has been offering quality dance instruction for nearly four decades in ballet, jazz, modern, tap and hip hop, and is responsible for training countless dancers who have gone on to receive college schol-arships and perform in professional dance companies and on Broadway. In addition to year-round professional-level academy train-ing, the Arvada Center offers a wide range of general dance classes for toddlers, teens, adults and seniors. 2014 dance concerts in-cluded Babes in Toyland, Mixed Emotions and Bravo.

With extensive educational offerings in drama, dance, ceramics, humanities, music and visual arts, the Arvada Center provides learning opportunities for aspiring artists of all ages, including pro-grams such as ArtStart for preschoolers and Arts for Ageless Adults, designed to provide inspira-tion for creative spirits ages 55 and over. The Center’s 750 classes, summer camps and profession-al-level training programs served nearly 7,000 students in 2014.

NEW HUMANITIES PROGRAMSBeginning in 2014, the Arvada Center began placing renewed emphasis on the second part of its name by offering more program-ming in the humanities. New classes for 2014 included the Four Seasons of Poetry, which featured poetry workshops and “open mic” evenings in the Center’s Main Gallery. A new Mother-Daughter Book Club, designed to encourage reading, bonding and socializing among mothers, daughters and friends, wel-comes stepmothers, foster mothers, aunts, guardians, grandmothers and dual moms. And the new theatre salon program provides avid theatre patrons the opportunity to get in the mind of the playwright and behind the scenes of selected theatrical productions. In addition to new classes, the Center host-ed several humanities events, including a weekend of art and conversation about the FBI/EPA raid and closure of the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant that was located northwest of Arvada, and it presented a talk by Eva Schloss, the stepsister and childhood friend of Anne Frank.

Visiting Ceramics Artists SeriesThe Arvada Center’s ceramics education studio has been in operation since the Center opened in 1976. With a nationally recognized repu-tation as a high quality, well-equipped and expertly staffed ceramics education program, the Center attracts renowned national and inter-national ceramics artists to the Center each summer for the visiting artists program such as Katie Caron, Kazu Oba, Bob Smith, Don Cox and Willie Eggeman.

In 2014, the Center hosted visiting Kansas studio artist and university lecturer Brenda Lichman. In her two-day Surface: Slip and Soda work-shop, which was sold out, Brenda shared her soda kiln philosophy, demonstrated glazing and slip techniques and led participants in loading and firing a salt/soda kiln. In attendance were six teens from Smoky Hill High School in Aurora who were able to attend due to the fundraising efforts of their art teacher.

UNBOUND: Sculpture in the FieldIn placing art, it changes the landscape of Arvada and brings the programming of the Arvada Center galleries inside, out.

In the summer of 2014, after nearly 40 years, the Arvada Center re-imagined the 17 acres of open space located south of its building to create a compelling and engaging outdoor sculpture venue. The debut exhibition, UNBOUND: Sculpture in the Field, curated and designed in partnership with the Museum of Outdoor Arts, featured 27 sculptures of various sizes and media by 15 highly acclaimed Colorado artists. Plans are to transform and evolve the site over the years to create a one-of-a-kind space in the Western region to showcase modern and contemporary sculptures.

Awards and Honors• Best of Westword award for Best Group Sculpture Show • Ranked #3 in the Westword article, “The Five Best Denver-Area Art Shows in 2014” • Named SECOND BEST Colorado Art Show of 2014 by the regional arts publication, Art Ltd.

The Arvada Center’s Collin Parson and Kristin Bueb have put together one great exhibit after another, but their finest effort to date has been the combination of shows that included UNBOUND: Sculpture in the Field. Not only is it a cogent survey of some of the top abstract and conceptual sculptors active in Colorado, but it also marks the artistic activation of a formerly empty lot next to the Center — which appears to be the perfect space for giant sculpture. — Michael Paglia, Westword

About the Center

MISSIONThe mission of the Arvada Center is to provide arts and humanities to patrons and visitors near and far so they can be engaged, challenged and inspired to experience their world in new ways.

Fantastic art opening three different shows. Couldn’t have asked for a more collective space or better finger foods! Just wish it was closer to home so I can have my own FREE museum nearby. — Nicole S.

ABOUT USThe Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities began as a place to preserve local history. Thanks to forward-thinking citizens, what was merely a heritage museum expanded to become a multidis-ciplinary facility that is now a model for arts centers across the nation. Dedicated on July 4, 1976, the Arvada Center welcomed nearly 12,000 visitors its first year. It now ranks as the eighth larg-est cultural attraction in metro Denver and is one of the leading employers of creative people in Colorado. Through its diversity of programming, continuous commitment to the underserved and nationally recognized services for individuals with challenges, the Arvada Center welcomes more than 300,000 visitors annual-ly. With more than half its patrons coming from outside Arvada and surrounding Jefferson County, its influence now extends far beyond its name. Supported by over 2,500 donors, the Scientific & Cultural Facilities District, Colorado Creative Industries and the City of Arvada, the acclaimed Arvada Center celebrated its 38th year in 2014 dedicated to enriching, inspiring and educating all ages.
