Page 5 Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, OR Wednesday, December 8, 2004 Art Walk began fairly small, but now hitting its stride (Continued from page 1) Pearson. “Each business sponsors or presents an artist or a musician or food.” According to Pearson, the Art Walk started with three businesses playing a role and has grown to en- compass an average of 11 businesses. “We have brochures and posters that we put out in the newspaper, and it lists all the businesses participat- ing and what’s going on at each place,” said Pearson. “There’s even a map in the brochure that helps people decide where to go first. “The idea of the Art Walk,” she said, “is to pro- mote the arts; and it’s really a family oriented commu- nity event that allows people to explore the literary, vis- ual, epicurean and perform- ing arts of the valley.” In addition, there is usu- ally a hands-on craft activity for kids; and several busi- nesses regularly showcase youth art projects. Pearson, who is also the president of IRVAC, said that its mission is to “foster creativity and encourage arts in the valley.” “We’re trying to pro- mote the arts in Illinois Val- ley, because it’s one of our strong points,” Pearson said. “We try to expose the com- munity and visitors to the arts and support our many talented artists.” Pearson said that the Art Walk has had great commu- nity participation and now, “We are now getting people coming from out of the val- ley specifically for the Art Walk. They’re coming from Grants Pass, Rogue River; and as far away as Ashland, Brookings and Crescent City,” Pearson said. Pearson, a crafter her- self, said that she moved to the valley eight years ago from Newport, Ore. because it is “beautiful.” Bebe’s ART, which she Fred McClintick Fay Lee Harmon Fred Page McClintick, 86, a resident of Illinois Val- ley for 50 years, died Friday, Dec. 3, 2004 at Three Rivers Community Hospital in Grants Pass.

Her husband of five years, Bob Burt, is a wood worker and his work can be found in their gallery as well. The Art Walk, Pearson said, is co-sponsored by merchants and organizations of the valley. “Donations and spon- sorships are always being accepted,” she said. “Most of the performing artists are volunteers, so we’re always looking for sponsors to help support them.” For the final Art Walk of 2004, visitors can expect to find talented artists at 11 locations: Cone Ten Pottery, Durant, Okla., she married her husband, James, who survives.
