Centrum, in partnership with Fort Worden State Park, is a gathering place for artists and creative thinkers from around the world, for students of all ages and backgrounds, and for audiences seeking extraordinary cultural achievement. Centrum and Fort Worden State park provide a haven for people to perform, learn, teach, and connect, and then return to the world renewed, perhaps even transformed, by the experience of their time here. Annually, Centrum brings about 27,000 people to the park for year-round workshops, performances, residencies, and cultural enjoyment.
While most of Centrum’s programming is intergenerational, there is also a series of residential learning experiences that serve youth only. About one-third of Centrum workshop participants are 18 years old or younger. We are dramatically increasing scholarship funds available for youth with the goal of being able to serve and learn from the broadest possible spectrum of aspiring young artists and creative thinkers.
And at the core of the Centrum community are more than one thousand individual donors and volunteers who demonstrate through their generosity a profound belief in the power of creativity. On behalf of all of us,
Welcome! At Centrum, you make transformational, life-changing experiences in the arts possible.

Dear Friends of Centrum,
First off, I want to thank you for helping make 2006 one of the most successful years in Centrum’s history. There are many ways of measuring success: Artistic quality and customer satisfaction are soft measures, but they are what drive financial success. Workshop enrollments, ticket sales, volunteer and donor engagement, are the easiest to quantify. Across the board, these clocked in with twenty-plus percent improvements over 2005.
My greatest pleasure comes in knowing that every quarter this letter goes out to more and more people. Centrum is all about your connection and support. We talk constantly about how the organization thrives when it gets out of the way of itself. That means it thrives when we—as a staff—welcome, engage, listen, learn from, change as a result of, and thank you as often and in as many ways as we can.
Getting out of the way of ourselves has helped us embrace and celebrate change as our fundamental organizational value. And a major change is in the offing. On January 11, the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission approved a new and inspiring vision for Fort Worden State Park. Building on the long and beloved traditions of the communities that have gathered at this magical place for the last 35 years, we will create a learning center for the future, dedicated to creativity and discovery, integration and collaboration, hospitality, stewardship, and play.
The new park will be run as an integrated partnership, and the planning process foreshadowed this commitment to an amazing degree. Washington State Parks sought out Centrum’s participation in the preparation of this plan. Centrum was at the table from the beginning, and there is no sentence in the final document that does not speak to a richer set of possibilities for you and other participants, audience members, and fans.
This plan recognizes and embraces the fact that Centrum’s success (and the success of any partner institution at Fort Worden) is completely dependent upon the success of Fort Worden. In the new plan, there is no “we” and “they”. It is all We. Understanding what that change really means in terms of what is possible ten years down the road (and what is necessary ten months down the road) is what we are figuring out right now. By the spring of 2008, we must have a complete business plan featuring a new management structure for the Fort (most likely some version or combination of a public development authority and nonprofit foundation) that will guide and be guided by all resident partners.
Meanwhile, Centrum begins its 35th year of programming.
Cordivae Press—a consortium of thirty northwest printmakers is our newest resident partner. They have launched operations in Centrum’s print studio. To celebrate this collaboration, we are mounting an exhibition of 70 prints selected from the Centrum archives this spring in Building 204. A Centrum Circle donors’ reception is scheduled for April.
The selection and framing of these prints is the first phase of the new Fort Worden Museum project in which art and historic artifacts that have been produced at or used at the Fort are placed on display in sites all over the campus. The prints from this exhibition will be placed in Officer’s Row houses with interpretative panels explaining this history of printmaking at Centrum.
More good news on the visual arts front: I had the pleasure of sitting on a panel with Park Manager Kate Burke and members of the Fort Worden Advisory Committee to select what I am sure will turn out to be a beloved public art work in Port Townsend. Funded by the Washington State Arts Commission’s Art in Public Places Program and the Friends of Fort Worden, Gayle Bard—renowned for her exquisite landscape paintings—has been commissioned to create a large work depicting the park lands. The piece will hang prominently on the entry wall in the Fort Worden Commons. What we didn’t know when we made the selection is that years ago Gayle had been an artist-in-residence at Centrum, and it was during that residency that she was inspired to focus on landscape painting.
The Goddard MFA in writing program gathers on February 8 for the first of two eight-day sessions in 2007. This program has grown far faster than planned, with enrollments doubling over the last year. Goddard is expecting to reach capacity enrollment within the next two years.
Our High School Arts Master Classes for gifted students from around Washington begins February 16. Workshops include Improvisational Theater with K. Brian Neel; Seeing Place with Ellen Sollod; Performance Poetry with Anis Mojgani; Slash, Burn, and Rip: The Metaphorical Language of Materials with Susie J. Lee; and Telling Your Story with Kathleen Alcalá.
Our January Art of Teaching Workshop was cancelled because of icy roads. We are working to reschedule it in October to coincide/collaborate with the State Arts Commission’s gathering of artists and teachers involved in its statewide arts education consortium program.
You will soon be receiving the third issue of Experience, which will highlight summer learning opportunities. We have a great season lined up. It kicks off with a concert by the Seattle Men’s Chorus on June 10. The Slide and Steel Festival returns, featuring Hannes Coetzee, from South Africa, who plays slide guitar with a spoon held in his mouth. VoiceWorks is back after a year’s hiatus, with the Birmingham Sunlights from Alabama, six men singing four-part a capella gospel music. The Port Townsend Country Blues Festival will highlight guitarist Cheick Hamala Diabate, from Mali.
In addition to Trio Solisti, Chamber Music’s director Helen Callus will bring composer Paul Moravec, a 2004 Pulitzer Prize winner. NEA Jazz Master Gerald Wilson will be on the jazz faculty and leading the All-Star big band. Irish fiddler Liz Carroll and Swedish fiddle ace Paul Dahlin, both National Heritage Fellows, will be featured at Fiddle Tunes, playing with personal family members. And Eileen Myles, cult figure to a generation of post-punk writers, will be a special guest at the Port Townsend Writers’ Conference.
A record number of artists-in-residence are creating new work in the recently renovated “Suds” houses and “Fourplex” apartments. The last three of the nine units are being transformed by an army of community volunteers. Rick and Debbie Zajicek gathered a team to complete their fourth renovation for Centrum. Anne Schneider, Leah Hammer and friends have nearly completed their redecoration and the team of Windermere Port Townsend Agents of Good Roots with their family and friends, are also hard at work transforming once depressing accommodations into a gracious retreat. Artists who stay in this housing are deeply appreciative and artists who visited in the old days are particularly moved. Centrum volunteers are amazing!
Thank you for all you do to make Centrum happen,
Thatcher Bailey

Dear Friends of Centrum,
As I write, we are in preparation for the first of three fall master classes—a weekend for 20 mandolin and bass players to study with Edgar Meyer, Mike Marshall and John Clayton.
Next month, Dirk Powell and the Foghorn String Band will be in residence for a three-day intensive for 25 musicians, and novelist Dorothy Allison will work with 12 dedicated writers. November is also the first gathering of the Youth Leadership Board, a colloquium on the future of youth programming at Centrum.
These intimate learning experiences are a new direction for off-season programming at Centrum and are part of the reason that overall workshop attendance is up so significantly over 2006. This year, over 2,100 students of all ages and backgrounds and from all over the country—and from even farther shores—will have gathered at Fort Worden for a Centrum learning experience. We will exceed last year’s paid and scholarship tuitions figures by some 17%. (Ticket sales will also be up about 18% over 2006.)
Over the last three years, we have made large and small changes to Centrum offerings. We have taken and continue to take risks with new artistic leadership and direction. We are so grateful to the communities around Centrum who are guiding and supporting these changes. (Contributions are also up by 7% over 2006.) It is your vision and generosity that we celebrate. Thank you!
Speaking of change, Centrum is truly at an historic juncture. As I write, a broad public is reviewing two possible options for the future of Fort Worden State Park.
Since I came on as director nearly three years ago, I have been engaged in informal and formal conversation with Fort Worden Manager, Kate Burke, and a host of staff, commissioners, advisors, consultants, and constituents who are involved in the long-term planning process for the Park. The outcome of this process will have profound implications for Centrum.
As you know, Centrum and Fort Worden came into existence through a partnership between the Washington State Park and Recreation Commission and the Washington State Arts Commission. There was a deep vision and great excitement about a magnificent state park that would also be an international “Center for Creativity.” In the 34 years since that paperwork was signed much of the promise of that partnership has been fulfilled.
Very few state parks in the country offer such glorious natural and built environments. Miles of sand beach, breathtaking vistas of the Olympic and Cascade Mountains, serene wetlands, dense forests, and turn-of-the-century military architecture—replete with severe yet enticing concrete bunkers and gun emplacements—occupy 440 end-of-the-road acres that have provided decades of retreat, renewal, and discovery for the millions of visitors who have passed through the park gates since 1973.
And a profound part of the experience of retreat, renewal, and discovery has been provided by the artists, students, audience members, donor, and volunteers who have built Centrum into an internationally significant gathering place for creative endeavor.
The partnership between Fort Worden and Centrum is unique among all state parks in Washington and under Kate Burke’s leadership we have the opportunity to take this partnership a whole new level.
If everything is so great, you might ask, “Why does anything have to change?”
All of the people involved in the planning process are in agreement on the answers to this question. First, although Fort Worden is well funded relative to other state parks in Washington, the demand for ongoing and deferred maintenance outpaces available public resources. Every year the to-do list grows longer while the funding stays relatively flat. Status quo means continued deterioration of the facilities at Fort Worden. (Because the Park is owned and operated by a governmental agency it is very difficult to attract significant private investment or philanthropy.)
The second reason is that Kate Burke needs—and Fort Worden needs—clarity about business development at the Park. Over the years, in addition to serving as a learning center, Fort Worden has developed as an affordable conference center used by a range of outside groups: kayakers, football teams, family reunions, and professional and religious groups. Both the education economy and the conference economy have grown, but they are different economies with different needs and audiences. In terms of operations and capital improvements Fort Worden is increasingly in the position of competing against itself.
We are at the point where the public needs to make a choice about which one of these economies will be the driver at Fort Worden. In the end there will still be a mix. A lifelong learning center will also attract outside conferences and family reunions. A vacation retreat and conference center will still have some level of cultural programming. (And the campgrounds will continue to be some of the busiest in the state.)
The reality is that either option requires Centrum to take a significant leap in what we do and how we do it. The learning center option might seem “easiest” for us. But this option requires that we really step up and become a much bigger player at the Fort with a far greater financial responsibility.
I have been at the table since the beginning of this process and understand the risks and rewards of either option. But it is not for me or anyone else at that table to decide. It is up to you and the thousands of other individuals whose deep connection to and passion about this place will be the guiding force.
The difference for Centrum is very significant. Centrum’s—and the Washington State Arts Commission’s—founding vision, our current plan for growth, and 34 years of residential learning, creation, and performance are very much in sync with the vision of a lifelong learning center. Centrum would be part of a consortium of other organizations devoted to providing residential learning, and be managed by a nonprofit foundation or public development authority that would integrate marketing, fundraising, and business services for all partners. Centrum would rededicate itself to cultivating new audiences and donors to significantly increase revenues available for operations and capital improvements at the Fort.
Centrum would evolve very differently if Fort Worden were to commit to developing its capacities and facilities as a vacation and conference center. We could still be active users of the performance venues and we could still provide off-season programming at the Fort. But this option—financed significantly by private investment—would shift facility priority—especially in high season—away from nonprofit arts programming.
If you have not already, please let your views be know, as soon as possible.
On behalf of all of us at Centrum and Fort Worden, thank you.
Thank you so much,
Thatcher Bailey

Dear Friends of Centrum,
As I write, Centrum is in the second day of the new Slide and Steel Guitar workshop, featuring masters of country, sacred steel, bluegrass, and blues traditions in residence for a week with sixty musicians from around the country. Yesterday we ended the largest Fiddle Tunes gathering in Centrum history under the new and soulful leadership of artistic director Dirk Powell.
During the prior week the Chamber Music workshop enrollment was up 54% from 2005. In addition to the regular weekend concerts there were five free evening events—master classes, multimedia presentations, and performances—to introduce a larger public to some of what students come back for year after year. The week before Chamber Music the Centrum School of Rock doubled its enrollment, with a rigorous introduction into the history and fundamentals of the genre under the artistic direction of blues and rock keyboard legend Daryl Davis.
Summer is in full swing at Fort Worden.
The longer I am in this job and the more people I meet who are connected to what happens at Centum, the more strongly I feel the obligation to deliver on our programmatic goals. Just saying thank you is not enough for all of you who give so much of your time, energy, and money to keep Centrum vital. The most profound way to express gratitude is to ensure that we develop and promote artistic programs that are
1. one of the top three of their kind in the country
2. the best of their kind in the northwest;
3. distinct in their identity and mission;
4. attractive to an expanding and culturally diverse participant and audience base; and
5. economically robust.
Your continued and growing generosity is our best barometer of how well we are achieving these goals. We are stewards of your generosity and that is no small responsibility. You give us the resources, courage, and mandate to take risks and make hard choices.
Enclosed is a listing of all of you who supported Centrum in 2005. In one year the list has expanded from four to six pages. So many of you have stepped up to help with and be part of what is happening here. It is inspiring to be in service to a community providing such resource and passion to “promote creative experiences that change lives.”
In great appreciation,
Thatcher Bailey

Dear Friends of Centrum,
This quarterly update comes at a wonderfully busy time at Centrum. As I write, 72 fifth-graders from across Washington are registering for “Waterworld,” a weeklong, hands-on exploration of the myriad intersections between the natural world and the creative life. We run this program in collaboration with the Port Townsend Marine Science Center.
The fifth-graders arrive as high school writers travel home after devoting five days to the power of the written and spoken word. In part an examination of craft, the high school gathering also challenged students to think beyond self-expression and engage contemporary life in all its cultural and economic complexities.
In two weeks we are bringing Light Motion Dance Company to the Fort to lead an Integrated Dance workshop for physically disabled and non-disabled dancers, May 4-7. This is followed by the Northwest Big Band Workshop (and free concert on May 19). On May 23 and 24 we are co-hosting—along with the Washington State Arts Commission, DASH (Disability Awareness Starts Here) Port Townsend, VSA Arts of Washington and Massachusetts, and the Port Townsend Arts Commission—a free disability access training for arts administrators and arts facilities managers around Washington.
Then the season really kicks in. As a generous member of the Centrum community, you are receiving this information in advance of the general public. Sue Cook, our Box Office Manager, is standing by to take your ticket orders. It is going to be a great summer with five national Heritage Award winners coming to teach and perform and there are many don’t-miss events scheduled. I urge you in particular to hear the masters of sacred steel, country, Hawaiian, old-time, and bluegrass traditions at the “Slide & Steel” celebration, July 15, at McCurdy Pavilion.
On April 1, 250 old and new friends gathered to celebrate Centrum founder Joseph F. Wheeler at an extraordinary “Founder’s Choice Concert” featuring pianist William “Skip” Doppmann. Skip led the Port Townsend Chamber Music Festival from 1975 to 1998. The event was a celebration of both men’s deep commitment to Centrum’s long legacy of artistic excellence.
It was also an afternoon about the future. Renate and Joe Wheeler announced a $100,000 estate gift they have pledged to Centrum, and for the first time we published a list of individuals, couples, and families who have made similar bequests. These Centrum Visionaries are making legacy gifts in honor of traditions that have added richness to their lives and in support of new opportunities for generations to come.
And, speaking of generations to come, six nights later I gathered with the aforementioned young writers to listen to readings by artist faculty. Anis Mojgani, the 2005 Individual National Poetry Slam Champion, was last up. Before he had uttered two lines, this Portland-based performance poet owned the room. It was twenty minutes of grace and exuberance, passion and control, quiet and power that passed in what felt like no time at all. I found myself holding my breath not wanting to miss how Anis was breathing such life into his work.
In the forthcoming premiere issue of Experience: Centrum’s Magazine for the Creative Life, our new artistic director for Fiddle Tunes, Dirk Powell writes, “My ideal message to others is not ‘Listen to this story to learn about me,’ but ‘Listen to this story to learn about yourself.’” That’s what Anis was saying with his poetry and I could tell that every student in the room heard him and will not soon forget the experience.
I leap from Chamber Music, to Slam Poetry, to Fiddle Tunes because that’s what we do at Centrum and because what Dirk has to say about creative and cultural traditions resonates so deeply with our mission:
Young people are ready to make traditional art forms their own in the truest sense. They understand the value of creative expression and it’s up to the preceding generations to give them the means through which they can share their stories with the world. Many of them have been bombarded with heavily branded advertising on an unprecedented scale since before they could walk, and many are rejecting this attempted manipulation of their lives. I think it’s essential to be there for them.
In this spirit, we are extremely pleased to announce that our two first choices to be mentors for the Centrum Youth Leadership Board have enthusiastically accepted our invitations. Pramila Jayapal is an activist and writer, and founder of Hate Free Zone Campaign of Washington, a grassroots nonprofit organization that was created in response to the 9/11 backlash against immigrant communities of color. For the past ten years, she has been actively involved in international and domestic social justice issues, particularly with women's and children's issues. In 1995, she was awarded a two-year fellowship from the Institute of Current World Affairs to live in villages and towns across India and write about her perspectives on modern Indian society in the context of development and social justice.
Daryl Davis, rock and blues vocalist, guitarist, keyboardist, and composer has been a performer at the Port Townsend Country Blues Festival and is artistic director for the 2006 Centrum School of Rock. He has played with Chuck Berry, the Jordanaires, Muddy Waters’ Legendary Blues Band, The Coasters, and Bo Diddley, to name a few. Daryl is also an author, whose book Klan-Destin Relationships, chronicles his quest to meet with Ku Klux Klan members and convince them to rescind their beliefs.
The Youth Leadership Board will gather over Veterans’ Day weekend to define, conceive, generate, and promote programs that attract and serve the best young artists and critical thinkers in Washington State. Daryl writes, “As adults, we often quash the dreams of children because our own innovative and risk taking days are behind us. Youth are unafraid to take on new adventures and risks. They will teach us.”
In a focused effort to extend our programming season and build on deeply rooted Centrum traditions, we are offering two additional fall programs. Acclaimed cross-genre musical master Edgar Meyer, Mike Marshall, and John Clayton will be leading a master class workshop October 5-7, ending with an intimate concert in the Joseph F. Wheeler Theater. Beloved novelist Dorothy Allison will also be offering a master class, October 20-22. Her public reading will be sponsored by the Pride Foundation.
The Fort Worden planning process has shifted into high gear. In March, members of the Fort Worden Planning Advisory Group met for the first time to help shape the planning process. Last week a remarkable team of architects, engineers, artists, financial analysts, and hospitality planners were selected to help gather public input and analyze existing and possible configurations of cultural and recreational programs and businesses at the Fort.
Two firms represented on this consulting team have been involved with successful projects in the Port Townsend area. ARC Architects is finishing restoration of Port Townsend City Hall and SvR Design worked on the successful F Street improvement project. Two team members have past Centrum connections: Barbara Swift, landscape architect, taught a youth creativity workshop in 1987, and artist Ellen Sollod has twice been an artist-in-residence.
This team was the unanimous choice of the interviewers, consisting of Jean Dunbar, George Randels, and Rodger Schmitt of the Fort Worden Advisory Committee; historic preservationist Dave Hansen; Fort Worden Manager Kate Burke; Washington State Parks Planner Peter Herzog; and me. The particular expertise the consulting team will bring to the process impressed all of us, but it was the enthusiasm with which they spoke about Fort Worden that convinced us that they understand how beloved a place this is and that they will respect its history, its environment, and the community that cares so deeply about it.
Continuing along this theme of revitalization and caring community, we celebrated the renovation of another of our “Suds” units. Cindy and Ken McBride led a team to take on the last (and undoubtedly most challenging) of the five houses we rent from Fort Worden to house Centrum artists and performers. The transformation was spectacular. Sadly, Cindy took no “before” pictures; I think the place was just too depressing. But those of us who remember what it looked like were stunned by what had been done and by the resourcefulness, generosity, and good taste of the volunteer team. The last three apartments in the “Four-plex” will undergo a makeover next fall/winter to complete the re-do of all nine housing units by Centrum volunteers.
I continue to be amazed by the volunteers who make Centrum work. We have been so lucky to be guided by our Disability Access Committee and the entire DASH organization as we adjust what we do and how we do it to be more welcoming to people with disabilities. DASH recently led an all-day ADA training for its board and Centrum and Park staff at Fort Worden Chapel. On April 19, Kate Burke and I are participating in DASH’s Assume-a-Disability event at Fort Worden. The next night DASH and Centrum are co-sponsoring the Poetic Justice Theatre Ensemble Disability Performance at the USO, 7-9 pm.
Jamie Parker and Emily Mandelbaum helped us shop for a whole new assisted listening system for our performances and workshops. We are setting up a new information center for our public performances at which the listening devices will be available along with specially trained volunteers who can help individuals with various special needs.
Planning for the 2006 Centrum Gala is well underway under the wonderful leadership of Bickie Steffan and Jean Marzan. “An Evening in Paradise” will feature an array of tropical surprises and delights as well as a performance you will not want to miss by our new auctioneer Laura Michalek. Many thanks go to thirty members of the Gala Host Committee who have agreed to fill tables with friends and supporters and to twenty-five committee chairs who will work with 100 volunteers to make the evening happen. Call Mary Hilts at Centrum, ext. 116 if you would like to join the Gala team.
Speaking of volunteering, the annual Centrum volunteer orientation is scheduled for Tuesday, April 25 in Building 204 upstairs from 5:30 to 6:30pm. This is your chance to sip some wine, enjoy some hors d’oeuvres, get a preview of the summer season, meet old and new friends, and sign up to be part of the action. Also mark your calendar for the RE/MAX Benefit Golf Tournament on June 3 at the Discovery Bay Golf Course. Under the generous leadership of Dick and Nancy Stelow, they will have prizes for pros and duffers alike.
I am finishing this letter just in time to walk over and welcome the fifth-graders, who by now have finished their dinner and are gathering with buzzing expectation in the USO Building. I wish you could be here to feel the energy in the room. Please know how grateful I am - we all are - for the support you offer that makes such gatherings possible.
Thank you so much,
Thatcher Bailey

In fact, donors and volunteers are at the very core of our work. Your ongoing support tells us we are doing what matters and allows us to continue offering a wide array of high-quality programs.
There are many different reasons why you might contribute time or money to Centrum. Maybe it was a performance that you are still talking about. Perhaps your child came home transformed by a marvelous week of learning with working artists and other creative students from across the state. Or maybe your own life has been changed by a Centrum experience.
Tuitions and ticket sales account for about 60% of what it costs Centrum to provide extraordinary programs. Your time and contributions are needed to ensure that young and old from all walks of life have access to learning experiences that will change their lives and make the world a better place. Centrum is here for all of us.
