Creative Ecosystems! w/SCAAC

The Stanwood-Camano Arts Advocacy Commission promotes the arts in the city of Stanwood by doing... well, all the things! Public outreach, education, fundraising and more. It’s not uncommon for a town to take pride in its arts community, but Stanwood and Camano Island walk the talk. There is a high concentration of fine artists there and have been since as far back as the 1970s when Dale Chihuly and co. camped out and started a glassblowing school in what was – at the time – the middle of nowhere near the county line. Or so the self-mythology goes. What makes Stanwood a hotspot for the arts? What can we learn from that community? Today on the pod, Cat Olson from the SCAAC will be our guide.
