The Eugene-Springfield, Oregon Area
The Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area supports an amazing diversity of cultural, recreational, and educational opportunities. With a population of more than 250,000, the metropolitan area is large enough to have a full range of business and entertainment opportunities and small enough to retain a friendly, open atmosphere and a healthy environment. The community features resident symphony and chamber orchestras, as well as ballet, modern dance, and opera companies, community theatre groups, art galleries, museums, and craft associations. Eugene's award-winning Hult Center for the Performing Arts (shown in photo at right) has attracted many guest performers, ranging from Itzhak Perlman, Dawn Upshaw and Marilyn Horne, to Ravi Shankar, Bobby McFerrin, the Tibetan Monks, and the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.
