SUMMARY:Exhibit: “Master Penworks of Tom Stefopoulos: The Hellenic Artist of the Lovejoy Columns”
DESCRIPTION:The Hellenic-American Cultural Center and Museum (HECCM) presents “Master Penworks of Tom Stefopoulos: The Hellenic Artist of the Lovejoy Columns” May 5 through June 4. The exhibit is available during Capitol hours\, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.  \nAthanasios (Tom) Efthimiou Stefopoulos was a factory worker\, railroad man\, commercial artist\, and a champion penman. Art was his first love but pursuing this was difficult for a young immigrant in an adopted country where he did not even speak the language. In 1945\, he was employed by the Spokane\, Portland & Seattle Railroad to work as a crossing watchman under the Lovejoy Ramp of the Broadway Bridge in Portland\, Oregon. It was here that the artist created the iconic “Lovejoy Columns.” This exhibition considers the range of Stefopoulos’ art\, from pen drawings to the murals that graced the Lovejoy Columns. His style is a unique blend of calligraphic lines and Art Nouveau\, and his themes span Ancient Greek philosophy to contemporary world events. In style and in theme\, Stefopoulos blended a myriad of influences\, a result of a life lived in multiple places and among many people. Despite a life that was characterized by movement and synthesis\, however\, the Lovejoy Columns represent a sense of belonging to specific place—in this case\, to Oregon. Stefopoulos’ art gives insight into how the artist envisioned himself in this new home.  \nThis exhibit was one of three that were awarded Capitol History Gateway exhibit sponsorships in the first year of the program. Exhibits are funded\, in part\, by the Oregon State Capitol Foundation\, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

SUMMARY:Digital Exhibit - "Riveting History: 100 Years of the Bridge of the Gods"
DESCRIPTION:Riveting History: 100 Years of the Bridge of the Gods celebrates the centennial of the iconic steel cantilever span that has connected Cascade Locks\, Oregon and Stevenson\, Washington across the Columbia River since October 26\, 1926. The exhibit traces the bridge’s origins to the Indigenous legend of “Tahmahnaw\,” a natural land bridge formed by the massive Cascade Landslide Complex in the mid-1400s. From there\, the exhibit follows the ambitious journey to build the modern span: the rise of automobile tourism along the Columbia River Highway\, entrepreneur George S. Allen’s vision for a crossing at the Cascades\, the Bridge of the Gods Corporation’s dramatic 1922 dedication ceremony\, and years of financial struggles before the Wauna Toll Bridge Company stepped in to rescue the project. This culminated in an opening day celebration on October 26\, 1926 to mark the joining of two communities. The exhibit also covers a remarkable engineering feat that came years later: when Bonneville Dam’s new reservoir threatened to swallow the bridge’s clearance\, the entire span was raised 44 feet in 1940\, lifting it to its current height of 140 feet above the Columbia River. Together\, these stories of geology\, Indigenous heritage\, entrepreneurial ambition\, and engineering ingenuity make Riveting History a rich celebration of a bridge that has become one of the Columbia River Gorge’s most beloved landmarks. \nYou can visit the digital exhibit here: https://oregoncapitol.com/events-and-exhibits-exhibits/ \nThis exhibit was sponsored by the Oregon State Capitol Foundation and is brought to us by the Cascade Locks Museum.
