Like so many others, I am grateful to those who worked so hard to make Art Walk happen. I was proud of our little town and it's efforts to be a place of creative expression, supportive of the arts. Every year AW became more inclusive, driven by people who cared deeply. What will replace it? If criticism and lack of support brought AW down then truly we have all be short sighted. Hundreds of people came here, and were inspired. They bought some art - yes - but mostly smaller pieces...and they went to restaurants, hired taxis, bought groceries and souvenirs, sussed the town out and made plans to come back to attend classes and celebrations because they were so impressed with what they saw happening here. Maybe I was naive but it felt so positive to me. It was a pleasure to put posters up for the cause...everyone in the nearby towns I went to were excited and a little envious that in these times of fear and insecurity we were doing something positive and exciting. The mantra continues...what happened...what can we do to keep it alive?
