Age of Elegance Reimagined Showcases Local Furnishers to Raise Funds for Historic Preservation of D.C. Corbin Mansion, September 6-20

The upcoming vote in November will determine funding for the preservation of the D. C. Corbin House, now the Corbin Art Center, through a Parks & Recreation levy. "Age of Elegance Reimagined," an exhibition featuring local furnishings, will take place from September 6 to 20, with guided tours by historian Cindy Blue-Blanton scheduled on select dates. Admission is $10, with proceeds directed towards the restoration of the historic mansion, particularly the front veranda.

This initiative aims to ensure the mansion's ongoing maintenance and support its role as an art center offering classes for all ages. Visitors can return multiple times with the same ticket, enhancing accessibility to the event. Discounted private tours are available for groups, promoting community involvement. The Corbin Art Center has been a vital part of Spokane's cultural landscape for over five decades, focusing on affordable arts programs. The venue's historical significance stems from D.

C. Corbin, a railroad and mining magnate who contributed to Spokane's development, adding depth to the preservation efforts.
