Art Walk began fairly small, but now hitting its stride

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.”

clothing to collages. Her
husband of five years, Bob
Burt, is a wood worker and

The Art Walk, Pearson
said, is co-sponsored by
merchants and organizations

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.”
