“Arts Inspiration” Bronze
Standing proudly outside the historic Vert Theater in Pendleton, Oregon, Arts Inspiration is a striking bronze sculpture created by Dr. Steven Lloyd Neal and cast at Park Bronze Foundry in Enterprise, Oregon, in April 2004. Made possible by the generous contributions of several community donors, the piece celebrates the enduring power of the arts to uplift and shape young minds. A quote from the sculptor at the base reads, “May the arts continue to inspire our youth.” — a heartfelt reminder of the role creativity plays in enriching both individual lives and the community as a whole.
