Thanks to a generous donation from the family of a former Corvallis City Councilor, a sculpture with a special connection to downtown Corvallis has received a permanent home in the lobby of City Hall.
“The Spirit of Being” is a 10-inch-high bronze cast of a ballerina leaning forward in the dynamic arabesque position. Visitors will recognize the piece as a small-scale twin to a much larger, full-size outdoor installation that has graced Central Park, a few blocks away from City Hall, for 35 years.
In celebration of National Preservation Month, the City partners with Benton Co., PreservationWORKS, and other community members to organize historic preservation-related activities and events throughout the month of May. The primary purpose of this meeting is to identify and tentatively schedule Preservation Month activities.
This meeting is open to the general public and anyone who is interested in participating in Preservation Month events is encouraged to attend.
