I was forced to retire in 2017 due to health issues and have sought a way to volunteer my time. I have become involved in the West Central Mountains (WCM) Creative District. This organization is just coming together, and it is exciting to aide in its formation. Here are some of the reasons that I feel the WCM Creative District is important:
1. This would be a way to link all the existing creative people, organizations, events, and projects to help coordinate efforts and get more involvement.
2. A creative district will help to bring people together and to create more of a sense of community in an area. I think anything that works to bring us together is important.
3. A creative district will help those working in these related fields to become more productive, successful, and connected.
4. Creative endeavors represent a sustainable and healthy aspect of our local economy.
One of the projects that has been proposed is to develop a Summer Art Tour, where people can drive around and visit area artist’s studios and galleries. This would help our area get recognized a leading contributor to creative endeavors in the Pacific Northwest.
I am a local artist and a full time resident in Valley County.
