Box Elder trees in side canyon along Burr Trail
I found out last week, right before I went down to Torrey for a Michael Gordon/Guy Tal photography workshop (more on that in another post), that the Entrada Institute had selected me as their 2010 Artist-in-Residence!
My project will be focused on the volunteers who make things happen in the town of Torrey, one of the most interesting gateway towns to a national park in the west (Capitol Reef NP is just to the east). The interest in volunteerism comes directly out of the U.S. 89 project, and while Torrey isn't on "my" highway, has enough similarities that I can build on what I learned, but approach it with a fresh look. Or so I proposed.
The mission of the Entrada Institute is to serve as an arts and educational center to further public understanding and appreciation of the natural, historical, and cultural heritage of the high desert Colorado Plateau." To support its efforts,the Entrada Institute is hosting its annual fundraiser gala on October 24 at Westminster College. If you enjoy Torrey, Capitol Reef NP and the work they are trying to do for the region, I hope you will consider joining us at the party.
