OUR HISTORY
The idea for a Corvallis Arts Center came from Marion Gathercoal, then President of the Corvallis Woman's Club. In the late 1950′s, she was looking for a community project and a friend handed her a small book called "A Survey of Arts Councils." Marion seized on the idea of creating an arts council with the ultimate goal of becoming an arts center. She had the drive, dedication, and organizational skills to bring a talented pool of people together to turn this dream into a reality.
