About UsOverviewDiablo Regional Arts Association (DRAA) is a non-profit organization that supports artistic enrichment initiatives and raises funds to support the full spectrum of arts at the Lesher Center for the Arts (LCA) including drama, musical theatre, dance, opera, music, and the visual arts. Funds are distributed to LCA arts producers through DRAA’s Artistic Excellence Grant Program, Arts Access Program and through its Sponsorship Program . Artistic Excellence Grant Program: This program has two focus areas - New Producers Program and Artistic Enhancement. Both focus areas are designed to increase the quality of the artistic offerings within the LCA by motivating producers to include qualitative stretches within their seasons. Arts Access Program : This program provides opportunities for families, children, seniors and low-income or at-risk individuals to experience the arts. Sponsorship: Sponsorship provides benefits and VIP privileges that are perfect for entertaining clients, employees or as sales incentives. Sponsors can partner with DRAA in several ways- Production Sponsorship, Arts Access Sponsorship, Event Sponsorship or Marketing Sponsorship. Sponsorship opportunities range from $1,000 to $50,000 and beyond and are customized to meet sponsors' business goals and interests. Mission: The Diablo Regional Arts Association is dedicated to enriching the quality of programming within the Lesher Center for the Arts (LCA) and to creating avenues for everyone to enjoy the arts. We accomplish this mission through exemplary leadership and funding. Vision: To be recognized as the champion of artistic excellence for the Lesher Center for the Arts. Background: From its founding roots in the Civic Arts Association (1967) and the Regional Center for the Arts, Inc., to its consolidation as Diablo Regional Arts Association (DRAA) in 1993, DRAA has played a pivotal role in growing and sustaining the performing and visual arts in Contra Costa County. As evidence to its success, DRAA has grown from an organization providing just $65,000 per year to the arts in the region, to a powerhouse fundraiser contributing more than $750,000 annually.
