The beauty and power of the sound reminds us how strong and loving we are.” (Lyndsey Scott)

The authors of the popular book, The Dirtbag’s Guide to Life: Eternal Truths for Hiker Trash, Ski Bums, and Vagabonds” are bringing their traveling show to XXX to collect your adventure stories and share them in their popular Boldly Went podcast. Come for an evening of sharing your outdoor adventure stories and meet like-minded people. Settle in to listen or get prepared to share your adventure stories in 10 minutes or less from 7-9 PM.
You can’t shred gnar, bomb down trail, climb volcanoes, and run whitewater all the time. But at Boldly Went we know that when you’re not, you want to talk about your adventures with other people who get it – probably over beer. And every thru hiker, trail runner, mountain biker, climber, paddler, sailor, scuba diver, flyer, and Indiana Jones wannabe has at least one story that will inspire, inform, or at least entertain the rest of us, so we’re pulling together crowds of you and randomly selecting you to go on stage to give us your best.
Check out the webpage for more details about what to expect at the event and tips for preparing your 10 minute story if you think you have one to share.
Exciting and motivating the arts community and promoting arts education are central to the mission of the High Desert Mural Festival, taking place October 2-9 as part of the Tenth Month suite of events in Bend. The grassroots festival’s organizers hope to use this inaugural building year as the first step toward creating a world-class, large format arts festival.
“In this mountain town category, like in Aspen, there is potential to support and sustain the arts,” said Douglas Robertson, founder and executive director of the festival.
The mural festival’s board is currently waiting for city approval on a sign code adjustment in the Makers District in Bend. There they hope to create murals that will be redesigned annually by large format artists in collaboration with students from the local school district.
“Murals, by nature, are transitory art,” said festival board member Kara Cronin. “The large format of murals brings diversity and scale to arts education.”
