New owner of ghost town property hopes to reopen artist residency in Cisco, Utah

In December, 28-year-old Moab resident Kara Bard bought the site of a former artist residency in Cisco, Utah, called Home of the Brave. The program was started by the previous owner Eileen Muza, who spent nearly a decade rebuilding old structures on the ghost town property. Today on the show, we talk to Muza about the history of Home of the Brave and the challenges they faced as a queer artist in rural Utah. And we talk to Bard about her plans to reopen the residency and more. - Show Notes - • KZMU’s previous reporting about Home of the Brave: https://www.kzmu.org/best-of-2019-creatively-preserving-and-re-forming-cisco-utah/ • Photo: Eileen Muza touches up their junkyard "movie theater," a projector screen on the ghost town property they used to own in Cisco, Utah.
