OPERATIONAL FUND CAMPAIGN FOR PABLO CENTER
TURN IT UP TO ELEVEN
The statement Turn It Up To Eleven is worth reflection. For audio technicians around the world, amplifiers and equipment have knobs that go to 10, to turn it up to 11 implies that there is something beyond 10...something more. Not formed or needed out of excess; rather out of a professional need to provide and deliver something better, more refined...the unending evolution of the human experience.…

ARTS FOR ALL
Pablo Center is driven by partnerships, possibilities, and access. Our mission aims to promote equity, accessibility, inclusion, and diversity in the arts. To promote these values, we established an Accessibility Endowment Fund before we even opened our doors in 2018. Donations to this fund have helped remove financial barriers that could prevent community members from accessing the arts at Pablo…

VISUAL & LITERARY ARTS FUNDS
Donations to these funds support programs like exhibitions of our region’s master creators, artist leaders, teachers, and even high school art exhibits. There are currently over 300 works of art in Pablo Center’s Permanent Art Collection–a collection that proudly inspires touring artists and deepens their appreciation of the Chippewa Valley’s natural beauty, history, and current creative culture.…

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. James Brady Foust, whose unwavering passion for the arts and deep commitment to the Eau Claire community helped make Pablo Center at the Confluence a reality. Brady’s vision, alongside his wife Jeanne, was instrumental in the creation of our arts center, and their generosity and dedication have left an indelible mark on the Chippewa Valley. Brady’s love for geography, education, and the arts inspired countless students and colleagues during his 37 years as a professor at UW-Eau Claire. A leader, innovator, and storyteller, he poured his heart into every endeavor—whether growing the university’s Geography Department into one of the nation’s best or conducting over 60 tours during Pablo Center’s construction, sharing his excitement with the community. Together, Brady and Jeanne’s contributions to the arts are unmatched. Their transformative $1 million gift led to the renaming of our Graham Avenue Gallery to the Brady & Jeanne Foust Gallery, a lasting tribute to their belief in the power of the arts to unite, inspire, and transform. Their efforts didn’t stop there—they continued to advocate for the Pablo Center and its role in enriching lives throughout the region. Brady and Jeanne’s passion for the arts has ensured a lasting legacy for our community, for the Pablo Center, and for every guest who steps through our doors. We would not be here without their incredible advocacy and support. As we mourn his passing, we celebrate his legacy—a legacy of love, art, and community. Thank you, Brady, for your belief in Pablo Center, for your tireless efforts to make it a reality, and for the joy and inspiration you brought to so many. Our hearts are with Jeanne and the Foust family during this time. You will forever be a part of the story of Pablo Center. Rest in peace, dear friend.
This Giving TueAt the Pablo Center, we believe that art has the power to transform lives—and everyone deserves the opportunity to experience it.

Every dollar donated by December 17, 2024 (up to $50,000), will be matched this year—doubling your impact!
