‘Arts & Rec’ with Community Artists in the Parks on Great Wide Open

Some might find outdoor recreation and the creation of art to be strange bedfellows. But for creatives in Moab, the two are often intrinsically linked. On the latest Great Wide Open, we hear from four of our Southeast Utah Community Artists in the Parks about that relationship. Learn how their activities in the wild informs and shapes their art and how it was even more greatly influenced by their time as a Community Artist in the Park. Today we hear from Chad Niehaus (2:30), Kathy Cooney (7:30), Samantha Zim (25:45) and Julia Buckwalter (43:30). Tune in!
