Grace Stewart Mullen, the visionary behind the Redlands Bowl Summer Music Festival in Redlands, CA, is considered a patron saint of the town. Born in Sparta, Tennessee in 1875, Mullen's desire to give back to the community led her to establish the Redlands Community Music Association and the Bowl in 1924. Her mission was to present the finest in performing arts, with an emphasis on classical music and dance, and to ensure that no admission fees were charged for Bowl performances. Mullen's vision continues to inspire and shape the festival, which remains a beloved cultural event in Redlands.
