in Half Moon Bay


I'm so excited that the dream of creating an artist residency program in Half Moon Bay has started with artist-in-residence Paige Tighe's arrival last week. (www.paigetighe.com).

We had a good meeting on Monday to discuss her goals and objectives for herself during this residency and how that intertwines with her continuing to evolve her project Walk With Me. She started Walk With Me about a year ago in LA and then took it to the East Coast.

Half Moon Bay presents a unique opportunity for Paige to walk with people along the Coast or on one of your favorite walks. That's where you come in.

Paige's goal is to walk with 20 different people between now and the end of the year. Will you be one of them? All that is involved is contacting Paige to meet you at your desired location, or you can come here to Poplar Beach. It's 30 minutes and if you are willing, it would be great for you to share a few words about the experience.

She wrote a book while in Athens Georgia about all the walks to date. More books are in the making talking about the walks. And in January, we are doing a HUGE walk - January 4th - down and around Poplar Beach.

Part of the goal of the HMB Artist Residency is for the artist-in-residence to do a public art piece. This is Paige's public piece - getting lots of people to walk in couples on January 4th.

I hope you will walk with Paige between now and then, and come back on January 4th for the Big Walk With Me event.

A press release with all the details is available - just shoot me an email at lauramchugh at me.com.
