Mathews won for “Spirit,” a carved and colored slab of maple with an illustration depicting ravens, fish, and Native American faces on a juniper slab. It’s one of two ByKHelenKSchmidling Correspondent The Sisters Library Annual Art Exhibit presented its People’s Choice Awards at a reception at the library on Friday evening. As the names of four award-winners were announced, from the far cor- ner, by the shelved books on hold, came a sudden round of celebratory back-slapping and general excitement.

Work that was cre- ated by participating artists Dawn Emerson, June Jaeger, Ingrid Lustig, Carolyn Platt, Ryder Redfield, and Hannah Tenneson will be featured in an exhibit, “Sisters On The Road: Six Artists and Their Discoveries,” from February 1 through March 12, at Sisters Art Works, 204 W.

The local artists variously attended Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts, Penland School of Crafts, Sedona Arts Center, Maine Media, and Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, and cre- ated new work in printmak- ing, photography, ceramic, See KARTISTSK on page 20 ByKTiffanyKLeeKBrown Correspondent Sisters Farmers Market lost more than money in 2017. Following a smoke- choked year, all three of its co-managers have announced their resignations. Carys Wilkins and Benji Nagel plan to focus on their farm and their newborn baby, while Angelena Bosco expands her cooking classes and entrepre- neur day camps. The market is looking for an energetic new manager willing to work as a volun- teer, with the possibility of a cash stipend. Vendors experienced an unusually strong early sea- son, especially considering the market had moved. With its beautifully wrought band shell stage and water play area, Fir Street Park proved an excellent new location. Local naturopathic doctor Kim Hapke, for example, enjoyed bringing her young son, noting that the splash pad made market days “even more exciting for him and relaxing for me.” Then came the 24,000- acre Milli Fire, and with it, weeks of thick smoke. “The town was dead,” Wilkins recalled. “It was really sad. The last market of the season had four vendors; we started out the year with 18.” As a first-time vendor, Josie Johnson of Josie’s Best Gluten Free Mixes said the market was worth it finan- cially despite the smoke. She noticed the market was “very well organized. Carys and I were both pregnant for the majority of the season, so we had fun sharing that experi- ence. Angelena is always supportive and helpful.” To Johnson, the market is a community phenomenon: “Shopping at local farmers markets not only gets the freshest food for the custom- ers; it is putting money right back into their community.” Nagel graduated from Sisters High School in 2006 and left town for new expe- riences. He returned seven years later with his partner Wilkins, both of whom had worked at farmers markets and on farms. “I didn’t realize what a cool and unique and See KMARKETK on page 18 SISTERS AREA MEETING CALENDAR BOARDS, GROUPS, CLUBS Central Oregon Council on Aging Senior Lunch Tuesdays, noon, Sisters Community Church. 541-678-5483.
