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

Spokane's Corbin Art Center will host "Age of Elegance Reimagined" from September 6 to 20, showcasing local furnishings from businesses like The Tin Roof and Ennis Fine Furniture. Admission is set at $10, with proceeds earmarked for the restoration of the historic D. C. Corbin House, focusing on the front veranda. Guided tours, including those led by historian Cindy Blue-Blanton, will enrich the visitor experience.

A Parks & Recreation levy on the November ballot could provide vital maintenance funds for the mansion, which has been an art center for more than five decades. D. C. Corbin's home, designed by Kirtland K. Cutter, reflects a rich local history, having been gifted to the city for park use.

The center offers affordable fine arts and crafts programs that support personal and creative growth. Those wishing to contribute to preservation efforts can visit the Spokane Parks Foundation's donation page. The event underscores the community's commitment to preserving local heritage while promoting the arts.
