We want to help :

These times are hard on almost everyone right now . I know very few who are not affected in some manner by shutdowns , job loss , anxiety and more .
So , what do we do ?
We band together and help each other ! If you know an artist , buy artwork for your honey for Valentines Day instead of chocolate . If needed , ask the artist if they will take payments . If you can afford it , order takeout from a local restaurant . Shop in local stores , to make sure we support those who have taken the risks to start their own business , thereby adding to our quality of life in the Pacific Northwest . We have a beautiful community filled with beautiful people and amazing talents .
Art Chowder is using all the resources at our disposal to help keep the artists of our community in full view with radio and retail promotion , as well as our new partnership with KSPS TV .
We have to grasp the things in life that we treasure with both hands and not let go . We will all come through this time — changed maybe , starting over maybe , or even possibly stronger .
I love our Pacific Northwest region . I have seen many times the true nature of the people who live here and I could not be prouder .
“ When we long for life without difficulties , remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure .” – Peter Marshall
