Museum Director’s Notes

“The clear light that belongs to October was making the landscape radiant.” Florence Bone
October, with its cooler mornings and shorter days, gives us all a sense of excitement as we gather more and participate in the Autumnal activities. It’s the time when gardens can give their last bloom without shriveling from excessive heat and sweaters can come out of the closet. I think we are ready.
It’s exciting to get ready for the Open Studio Tour. I admire each of the artists and their willingness to share with our community of art lovers. I hope to go to each studio and to see many of you there!
A fun aspect of the cooling weather is the opportunity to get out and hike a bit or take a pleasant drive. It’s a perfect time to spend with those you enjoy out in nature. The rains in August made some changes in the landscape and there are many plants blooming as if in a hurry to take advantage of the moisture and create seeds. We have a selection of the local BLM information and maps in our Gift Shop as well as other traveling information.
We have had so many great events this last month and are looking forward to more. We are grateful and so very happy for the chance to see so many of you and hope to continue on! Thank you all of for your support and friendship!
Our best to you all. We are better together.
