Corvallis Guitar Society
The goal of the Corvallis Guitar Society is to act as a catalyst to bring local guitarists out of the woodwork and provide an opportunity to perform and enjoy guitar music in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. The accent here is on participation and we hope people will want to participate in the open stage section also – no piece of music is too short or simple (though there is a five minute limit if we have a full sign-up sheet) and you are guaranteed a warm round of applause for showing us what you can do! We do have a limited number of open stage slots so be sure to sign up early at the front desk on the way in.
Our Mission
To promote classical and related guitar styles by providing a supportive performance environment for people of all ages and ability.
We seek to achieve this through a monthly meeting that provides an opportunity to discuss, listen to, and play solo guitar music including classical, flamenco, finger-style, jazz, as well as classical guitar ensemble styles.

People’s State of The Union
The Arts Center and the Corvallis-Albany Chapter of the NAACP, along with partners in the community and organizations across the country, invite the public to #PSOTU2020. Community members from the Mid-Willamette Valley will take part in Story Circles, sharing experiences that reveal the state of our union. Neighbors are invited to share their stories about how belonging or exclusion has played a role in their communities.
In January of most years, the President delivers a State of the Union Address highlighting the past year and suggesting priorities for the coming year. In an era of this country’s history that has seen division and distrust among neighbors and within families, looking each other in the eye and sharing our stories matters even more than usual. In such moments, being able to cross political divides and remain in dialogue is a worthy challenge. Who are we? What touches our hearts and minds? What do our communities need, and what do they need to hear from us? We may know our own answers, but do we know each other?
The People’s State of the Union, initiated by the US Department of Arts and Culture (a people-powered organization), is an invitation to together host a national conversation in our own homes, schools, houses of worship, and community organizations. Between February 4 – 14, 2020, individuals and organizations across the U.S. will sign up to host Story Circles.
Story Circles are open to all community members who wish to tell their stories and listen to others. The free event will take place from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm in the main gallery of The Arts Center. After the Story Circles, participants who wish can upload their stories and images to an online platform, yielding a body of stories that can be searched and shared, inspiring new ideas and new actions. This repository of stories will also provide the source material for the Poetic Address to the Nation, collaboratively composed and performed by local authors and poets.
The Arts Center is a non-profit arts organization and gallery in the heart of downtown Corvallis. Our mission is to foster creativity and engagement with the arts to inspire personal growth and community well-being.
The Corvallis/Albany Branch of the NAACP in Oregon is part of the non-profit national organization and shares its mission to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination.
