The little town hosted the 2004 Global Mural Convention which attracted artists from many countries. Some painted murals alongside local artists. The murals depict numerous aspects of the cultures and industries that built the area, e.g. the Basque shepherds, the pony express and mining. It's a great example of wonderful public art bringing life to a small town. Mark Ely, Nevada on your bucket list, it's a great experience. Close by is the beautiful Great Basin National Park. Plus driving Hwy 50 is an experience of stark beauty and endless vistas.

It's a funky, lively town and has a great art and crafts vibe. Home to everything from fine arts to jaw-dropping art cars to fun public art. The esteemed organisation, <a href="https://www.artspace.org/trinidad">ArtSpace</a>, is restoring a historic building in to a performance arts facility plus building a block of live & work artist apartments on the edge of town near the old train depot. There's fabulous outdoor adventures and drives in the surrounding area with a long history in mining. Much of the public art pays homage to their mining history.<p></p><p>Check out the <a href="https://www.colorado.com/travel-information-services/visit-trinidad" target="_blank">website</a> and add it to your list of must visit art spots!

<a href="http://americancraftweek%2Ccom/" target="_blank">American Craft Week </a> promotes all American craft and crafters/artists with enthusiasm. And when crafters/artists help other crafters/artists, we love it even more. So we'd like to introduce you to Crafting the Future. Their <a href="http://craftingthefuture.org/" target="_blank">website</a> explains, "Crafting The Future is a collective of artists concerned about the lack of racial and ethnic diversity in the fields of craft, art and design. We formed in order to change our community. Working together and combining resources, we support the careers of young, underrepresented artists by connecting them to opportunities that will help them thrive."<br />
Crafting the Future partners with organizations around the country, such as the renown <a href="https://penland.org/" target="_blank">Penland</a> School of Craft in North Carolina, The <a href="https://www.haystack-mtn.org/" target="_blank">Haystack</a> School in Maine and <a href="https://www.yayainc.org/" target="_blank">YAYA</a>, a youth arts organization in New Orleans, La. They raise funds through subscriptions, grants and kickstarters to enable crafters to attend workshops and courses in their field.<br />
Whether you're an artist or crafter, a collector or a passionate supporter of the arts, please consider helping. Check out, and follow, their <a href="http://craftingthefuture.org/" target="_blank">website</a> and <a href="http://instagram.com/craftingthefuture" target="_blank">Instagram</a><br />
We wish them, and the talented recipients, continued success in this wonderful endeavour.<br />

Artists, crafters, businesses are all trying new ways to promote themselves in this time of lockdowns and change. Some already had an active online presence, others are just starting. Sending out challenges is something many have done. Or special offers on certain pieces. Virtual studio tours. Videos showing their process of creating. Search art groups for ideas. Facebook haslots of creative groups...join some and experiment with news techniques, ask questions, don't be afraid to make mistakes.<br />
What have you done? Let us know, please share with us and the world ...<br />
I'll leave you with this great time lapsed video of Athens, Georgia based artist, Will Eskridge. Its a wonderful glimpse into his creative process. Will is a full time professional artist, so working from his home studio is not too different for him. He's a talented painter, musician (yes..the background music is his own composition) and he's pretty nifty with technology. Check out his <a href="https://willeskridge.com/" target="_blank">website</a> and <a href="https://willeskridge.com/blog/" target="_blank">blog</a> and see the various challenges & ideas he's tried.<br />
We're all in this together - let's help each other.<br />

American Craft <a href="http://americancraftweek.com/" target="_blank">Week</a> celebrates 2019 Star Award winner for Exceptional Nonprofit Support, <a href="http://crossroads-arts.org/" target="_blank">Crossroads</a> Carnegie Arts Center in Baker City, OR. Crossroads is without a doubt the backbone of the area's arts scene. They are strong supporters of the annual studio tour, offer workshops, exhibitions and their outreach program is exceptional. During 2019 ACW one of their events was to bring in K-2 students on a field trip from Keating Elementary, a remote, rural traditional one-room schoolhouse. A children's author read a book to them and then they all illustrated scenes from the book. What a wonderful day for those children! Check out their <a href="http://crossroads-arts.org/" target="_blank">website</a> and Facebook <a href="http://facebook.com/bakerxrds" target="_blank">page</a> for more information. If you're in the Eastern part of Oregon, don't miss Crossroads!<br />
