Theater at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts to be Named Novellus Theater
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Novellus Systems
and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA) in San Francisco today announced
a long-term venue sponsorship to mark the 10th anniversary of their
relationship. During the past decade, Novellus has been a regular donor to
YBCA, in addition to using the venue for product launches and investor
meetings during the semiconductor equipment industry's annual exhibition.
Included in the sponsorship agreement are the naming rights to the YBCA's
750-seat Theater, which will be re-named the Novellus Theater. Funding from
Novellus will be used to enhance visual art exhibitions, performing arts,
film programs and community engagement events at YBCA.
"For 15 years, YBCA has been a leader in presenting dynamic and
innovative contemporary art," said Ken Foster, executive director of YBCA.
"The partnership with Novellus Systems, which is part of a larger naming
campaign at YBCA, allows us to expand and diversify our programming in ways
that we would not otherwise be able to."
"The partnership between Novellus Systems and YBCA is grounded in a
shared value -- the willingness to take a different approach. For Novellus,
that means meeting customer challenges with innovative and perhaps
unconventional solutions. For YBCA, it means bringing unique and
cutting-edge programming to the community it serves," said Richard S. Hill,
chairman and CEO of Novellus Systems. "We believe that supporting the
efforts and mission of YBCA is a great way to give back to the community."
