Pablo Center at the Confluence Announces Season 3 Lineup
Pablo Center Has Officially Announced Their Third Season

Pablo Center’s Season 3 is about using the power of art to dream big, to create, and to inspire new possibilities as they offer a creative outlet to help navigate the process of healing and of bringing people back together.  Season 3 also brings Eau Claire’s first Broadway production with Waitress; see the full line-up here.

Executive Director, Jason Jon Anderson said, “This powerful triad of creative process words serves as the core to the greater Pablo Center mission. They were present through the construction of the building, our grand opening 20 short months ago, and they ensure we keep the horizon in focus, always moving us forward.  These three words are crucial descriptors in the cyclical, non-stop creative process each of us possess and utilize every day. They embolden the entrepreneurial spirit. They serve as reflection points to stay in touch with our inner child.  They highlight some of the best qualities within humanity and encourage us to challenge one another to push the human race forward.  These three words dare us as individuals and as a whole to be more. They remind us that we are all makers and part of the creative process. They serve as the title for Season 3.”

After having their second season halted due to COVID19, Pablo Center has been busy strengthening collaborations, partnerships, community involvement, educational outreach, leading regional initiatives, leading national legislation, and collaborating on national reopening guidelines for live event venues.  For example, Pablo Center brought their art education
program online with ARTmobile@home and started #SupportLocalSupportArt – a social media series highlighting local artists and artisans as well as works of theirs for sale.  Now with the announcement of this season, Pablo Center plans to build on this momentum while looking forward to bringing an eclectically curated season that is meant to bring the community together after a tumultuous several months.

Director of Artistic Programming, Evan Middlesworth said about Season 3,“The past several months has been educational,
thought provoking and life changing for me. Stepping into a new position and facing new challenges has caused me to focus intently on and fully understand the importance of this role.  I appreciate, now more than ever, the power of our community and my responsibility to the Chippewa Valley and Pablo Center team.  Anais Mitchell’s Making the Music, Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, and The Secret Sisters are just a small few of the shows I look forward to.  Plus, we have a wide array of local artists that I have the honor of calling my friends and collaborators set to bring their talents to our stages.  I’m proud of the work we’ve all done to bring Season 3 to life and excited for what still lies in store.”   

On the start of the next season and opening the building, Anderson said, “We stay committed to ensuring artist, guest, and staff safety is paramount through all phases of our reopening.  We are excited to open the galleries, theatres, and building when allowed indoor event capacities increase and physical-distancing requirements are minimized.  On behalf of the entire core staff, we are looking forward to hosting you, hopefully in October, and presenting you with our incredible third season.”

Pablo Center Producing Protective Equipment for Healthcare Workers and First Responders
Workforce Development and Outreach staff and equipment tapped in effort to aid the fight against COVID-19

(EAU CLAIRE, WIS. April 9, 2020) –  Pablo Center at the Confluence is pleased to share that our community-wide efforts to fight against COVID-19 have come to fruition after weeks of planning. Aiming to help fill the gap for needed personal protective equipment in our community, Pablo Center initiated plans to use 3D printers to create NIH-approved face shields for use in area hospitals.  The National Institute of Health (NIH) approved design make the shields suitable for wear by all healthcare workers, such as doctors and nurses. This effort included creating proof of concept, receiving approval for use, and reaching out to other members of our community to help broaden this collaborative effort.   

Technologies, equipment, and partnerships, that are components of Pablo Center’s workforce development and outreach programs, are normally used to bring skills and expanded knowledge to community members interested in advancing new skills and career opportunities. Since Pablo Center closed its door in March due to COVID-19, these technologies, partnerships, and minds have not gone unused. They have been reinvented and recharged to support the many helping to fight against COVID-19.  These efforts have been spearheaded by Workforce Development and Community Outreach Manager, Mike Lee, who created proof of concept for use in the Chippewa Valley after Executive Director Jason Jon Anderson put forward the idea of repurposing Pablo Center’s existing equipment and materials.

“It is through these types of confluences – inception of an idea, thought-leaders with potential solutions, the right tools, and regional collaboration – which highlight the best we all have to offer.  When I approached Mike just under two weeks ago with a design for a 3D print and the hope we could make it work at Pablo Center, he had already started working on finding collaborators to work with to help utilize our resources to help our  regions frontline medical teams.  He has been working non-stop for the last two weeks with a coalition of  makers and regional health providers.  I am so proud of Dr. Mike Lee and of Pablo Center’s role in this initiative,” says Executive Director Jason Jon Anderson.

Using Pablo Center’s two Prusa MK3S printers, purchased through previous funding by Xcel Energy and the AnnMarie Foundation, and PLA and PET-G filament material donated by Pablo Center, Lee is creating face shield visors with those printers that he has since moved to his home.  Pablo Center Robotics Club mentors and students are also joining the effort with in-home equipment with support from Pablo Center. The Chippewa Valley Makers Groups, a group of which Lee is a founding member, is also using 3D-printers running in homes and businesses across the Chippewa Valley to produce around 200 NIH approved face shield visors per day.  The Chippewa Valley Makers Group consists of over 25 area organizations, clubs, corporations, groups and individuals equipped to create, ensemble, and deliver this essential protective gear.  The Eau Claire Children’s Museum has also donated the use of their four 3D printers for Pablo Center’s use in this undertaking.

These visors are attached to donated plastic shields. The final shields are assembled by University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire students at a centralized location provided by the Mayo Clinic Health System. The assembled face shields are then distributed to area hospitals and first responders.

The scope of this group’s collaboration is just another undertaking that proves this community is stronger together, even when we need to stay physically distant. Pablo Center is proud to lend a hand to support frontline healthcare workers and responders close to home.
