I am spending the summer in beautiful Sisters, Oregon as the area’s arts intern. Working with six diferent organizations: Sisters Artworks, Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show, Sisters Folk Festival, Sisters Movie House, Turning Leaves Art Studio, and the Chamber of Commerce, I will be able to dip into multiple pies through this internship. I started this blog to c hronicle this experience and as a platform for commentary of other arts events throughout the country.
This week will be devoted to the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show which has collected over 1,000 quilts and displays them around town. I am coordinating volunteers for the data collection of an economic impact study designed to measure the value of the quilt show on local tourism. I’ve studied about economic impact reports, now I get to do one myself!
Here, the value of the arts in this community – these quilts probably took about 365 days to complete!
