Kaycee Anseth Legacy Foundation

"We have to keep making things. We have to keep reconstructing new creations out of things that no longer serve us. We have to deconstruct/decolonize/deliberate. I am a white woman, I am hella privileged, but I'm gonna keep on making beautiful things in the name of making a beautiful world that is safe and true."

🌬️ 💙 2024 Grant Recipient Invisible Thread
Invisible Thread strives to create safer spaces where folks can gather to connect through music and art, as well as support our creative community. It is our hope that community is cultivated little by little with every concert, gallery, and workshop put on in Central Oregon.

Patchwork is a collection of creative voices in the Central Oregon community, a collaborative effort to divest from social media, a reminder that we still exist.
