WHO: Noble Architect by artists Ruth Frances Greenberg and David Laubenthal
WHAT: Sculpture Unveiling
WHEN: Friday, December 14, 2012 at 3:30pm
WHERE: Corner of NE Alberta Street at 18th
NOTES: Artists Ruth Frances Greenberg and David Laubenthal conceived of the sculpture to “mirror the ebullient, raw and wonderful vigor of nature as well as our relationship to it.” Many different species of animals inhabited and thrived in this area before it was settled as the Portland we know. One of the abundant animals was the beaver. Its pose is dignified and vaguely humanized, standing on its stump, at just over six feet tall. This artwork was selected by a local panel of artists and citizens, and will become part of the City of Portland’s Public Art Collection, administered by the Regional Arts & Culture Council.
Refreshments to follow at Alberta Main Street, just next door.
