Artists sought for Artwalk

Beautiful Downtown Lewiston is seeking artists to display and sell artwork at its 10th annual Artwalk, Oct. 1-2.

At artwalk, artists show their work at downtown businesses which hold receptions. More than 30 locations participated in 2019. The event was canceled in 2020 because of the pandemic.

The event will be from 4 to 9 p.m. Oct. 1 and noon to 4 p.m. Oct. 2. Artists are encouraged to be present at their location, but it isn’t required.

Artists can apply online at beautifuldowntown lewiston.org/events, where a link to an application is available. A fee of $20 is required to reserve a spot. Artists can work directly with a downtown merchant or have a location assigned to them. Registration closes Aug. 31 or until all locations are filled. Calling all tech-savvy seniors It’s common to hear of teens teaching older generations and grandparents how to use technology, but how about having tech-savvy elders help their own peers navigate technology?

SeniorLiving.org is inviting older adults to enter its first “Become a Viral Video Star!” contest, which is now accepting entries.

According to a news release from the organization, people 60 or older are invited to create and submit a “how-to” video that instructs older adults on something technical, from how to use Zoom, to setting up a robot vacuum to storing digital photos. Winners may receive a cash prize and a chance to be featured on the group’s YouTube channel, which is watched by more than 25,000 subscribers nationwide, according to the news release.

To Enter:

ï Visit seniorliving.org/ viral-video-star-contest/. ï Decide on a tech topic you want to teach. ï Record a video of no more than 5 minutes. ï Upload the video to the SeniorLiving.org website by July 31.

Questions may be directed to Steve Stratz at (206) 300-9134 or by email to steve@relevanzpr.com.

Area readers who take part in the contest are invited to share their experience with the Golden Times for a possible future story. Editor Julie Breslin can be reached at (208) 791-6635 or by email at jbreslin@lmtribune.com. Senior activities planned in the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley
