Our Creative Ecosystem
your connection to everything local
To the Visitor and to Our Neighbor,
There is a rich creative energy woven throughout the land and people of our region—expressed through our food producers, artists, and artisans; our independent storefronts, galleries, and restaurants; and our historic, civic, and cultural organizations. Visit our online resource center to explore and connect with all things local—the who, what, why, where, and when of what our creative community has to offer.
Empowering Creativity
supporting creative passion
Developing strategies and initiatives to increase demand for locally produced food, as well as locally created art and crafts, while fostering mentorship opportunities that connect local practitioners with students to nurture emerging passions. It is a celebration of place, skill, and sustainability—cultivating a creative culture that continually evolves, refining and strengthening its practices.
Our Growing Creative Community
local hands unite
The Local Hands Project is actively onboarding a growing community of members into our shared creative ecosystem. Individually, farmers and creative practitioners often face challenges marketing their work locally—let alone beyond the region. Together, through a centralized resource and cooperative marketing efforts, we can expand our reach, increase visibility, and strengthen sales.
Photography Guild
recent images from under one sky
The Photography Guild is a growing community of professional and amateur photographers, devoted to capturing the moments that shape our shared life in this region. Through their lenses, the seasons, celebrations, and everyday scenes become a living, evolving record of our collective story—a gift in real time. Their work offers us the chance to witness, appreciate, and honor the people and moments that connect us all. On this platform, we get to know and thank them for documenting our evolving story.
Tomorrow is the big day! So thankful for and excited about all of the hosts and venues this year!
