A note from Arts Council President Ted Quinn-
Welcome to the 2011 Hwy 62 Art Tours. For the tenth anniversary of the premiere Hi -Desert art event of the year, we're excited to present over 100 of the areas best and brightest stars, embracing all of the arts. While we know that it's nearly impossible to see it all in just two weekends, we know that whichever route you choose, from the open highway to the dusty desert road, you will find inspiration and stimulation at every turn. We would not want you to miss anything that may move you, so be sure to look at what is being offered on both weekends of this years ambitious tour. The artists who have made this desert their home are as varied as the landscape. Many of us feel not that we have not chosen the desert, but that the desert has called our names. Each person has his or her own story which brought them here, but whether it's the silence, the mystery found in the Joshua Tree, the vastness of the night sky, the feeling of connectedness to something greater than ourselves or spiritual solace, this desert draws out the best of each one. it is not the solitude of isolation we have sought, but the openness, in all of its manifestations."With the expanse of our minds," as our colleague, Candacy Taylor says, "Our desert inspires us to make a difference, to make art."
