LOOKING FOR A FUN, FREE NIGHT OUT ON THE TOWN? IF SO, CHECK OUT MOAB’S UPCOMING
ARTWALK EVENT, WHICH HAPPENS FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, FROM 5-8 P.M. MOAB ARTWALK IS A WALKING TOUR OF SEVERAL DOWNTOWN GALLERIES, EACH ONE HOSTING A RECEPTION WITH ITS FEATURED ARTIST ON HAND TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.
Moab resident Julie Fox, who owned the artsy and beloved Eklecticafe, founded the Moab ArtWalk more than a quarter-century ago. Her restaurant was one of the venues of the First Friday event, which, in those days, happened monthly from April through October – Moab’s main tourist season.
Eventually, the Moab Arts and Recreation Center (MARC) began organizing the ArtWalks, with events now taking place in March, May, August and November.
“We coordinate locations, create postcards with a map to each venue, do advertising, and coordinate with an artist (at the Moab Arts Foyer
Gallery),” says Moab’s Arts and Special Events Director Kelley McInerney. “It’s an open house style from 5-8 p.m., with waves of people, and the artists present to talk about their work. Some venues serve refreshments.”
Participating venues have an A-frame sidewalk sign to direct tour goers to the art exhibits.
Sometimes there’s live music coming from the premises, adding to the festivities.
Here’s a brief look at what’s in store for the August ArtWalk:
The Grand County Public Library, 257 E. Center St., is showcasing the Utah All-State High School Art Show, which is part of the Utah

Division of Art and Museum’s Traveling Art Exhibits – a collaboration among local artists, arts organizations, and institutions.
The Utah All-State High School Art Show offers a professional forum for Utah’s talented high school artists. A panel of professional artists and arts administrators looked at more than 1,000 entries from around Utah to choose the artworks featured in this exhibition, which is comprised of hundreds of pieces from 105 Utah high schools.
Moab Museum, at 118 E. Center St., will host the Delicate Stitchers’ quilt exhibit, whose theme this year is “Seasons,” says museum public programs manager Mary Langworthy.
The quilt show will be at the museum in July and August, with a reception taking place during the August ArtWalk. “We will have refreshments and members of the guild will be there to answer questions and interact with the public,” says Marian Eason, a longtime Delicate Stitchers member. “This is our 23rd year having a show at the museum.” The 40-member quilting group celebrated its 25th anniversary last year.
In addition to this smaller exhibit held annually at the museum – this year’s show is comprised of 29 quilts – Delicate Stitchers also hosts a larger show of 100 quilts every other year at the Grand Center in Moab.
The paintings of Moab resident Yagmur Gorgulu, who is originally from Turkey, will be featured at Gallery Moab, a cooperative artists’ gallery. “Our mission is to support local artists, and give new, young artists a venue. Our guest wall is perfect for that,” says gallery manager Peggy Harty. In addition to its featured ArtWalk artist, Gallery Moab will also highlight works of its co-op member artists, she says, adding that three or four gallery artists are typically present during the event to help host receptions where refreshments are always served.
“I’m amazed at how many local people have never been to Gallery Moab,” Harty says. “It’s important to know what a treasure it is.” Since moving to its new location at 59 S. Main St., #1,

“ArtWalk is a fun, social event. It’s a nice excuse to get out of t he house and meet local artists.”

Moab Gallery has gained more exposure as a gallery with quality art, Harty says. “It’s a beautiful location – it shows off our artwork well,” she notes. “ArtWalk is definitely good exposure for local artists.”
Moonflower Community Cooperative, a natural foods store at 39 E. 100 North, displays local artwork in its deli in the rear of the store. Its featured artist in August is landscape artist Marilyn Miller.
Miller says she’ll hang approximately eight paintings depending on space, and will also have one work-in-progress. Miller’s artwork has previously been shown at the MARC gallery.
“We usually get a pretty good crowd,” says Moonflower outreach coordinator Maggie Keating. “People make their rounds, hang out for a while, observe, talk to the artist – especially for more unusual exhibits like a few months ago when Moonflower showed the work of 3D assemblage artist Gretchen Goldsmith.”
Photographer Whit Richardson’s work will be displayed at Summit Sotheby’s International Realty’s office at 59 E. Center St. The exhibits will hang in the reception area and throughout the real estate office. Richardson is returning to Summit Sotheby’s after having a show there during the May ArtWalk.
“It’s fun to mingle with the locals and visit with the artist,” says Becky Wells, Summit Sotheby’s managing broker and sales agent. “That’s why we are featuring him again. So there will be an opportunity to visit with the artist.”

Richardson got into photography as a high school student, and by the early 1990s, was photographing landscapes and outdoor recreation. In 2005, he began doing digital photography which led him to take up architectural photography and taking photographs for the real estate industry. This past year, however, he’s been focusing more on landscape photography, he says. Richardson makes both large and small prints on a variety of media, including canvas, metal and acrylic. All photos are for sale, at galleries and via his web site. His work is shown at Gallery Moab, the Sundry and other venues.
“The ArtWalk is a fun, social local event,” says Richardson. “It’s a nice excuse to get out of the house and meet local artists.”
The Sundry Gallery, 61 N. Main St., will feature beaded artwork by Whitney Jaye. Jaye uses Miyuki Delica glass seed beads to make
earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and lanyards. The Sundry is located in the former Tom Till Gallery – a longtime ArtWalk venue.
Jaye, who grew up in Moab and is Navajo, incorporates some indigenous designs, although mostly they’re her own unique patterns. Her pieces are “one-of-a-kind,” she says. “I will bring beads and my work. People like to see the process,” Jaye says.
At the MARC, the Moab Arts Foyer Gallery will feature the artwork of Reed Murray, whose exhibit is titled Touch the Earth: Visions of a Changing World. Murray is a landscape artist who paints primarily with acrylics on canvas, whose work has been shown at the MARC, Moab Made, Moab City Hall, and Canyonlands Field Airport. His landscapes, while often depicting canyons, towers and the Colorado River, are conceived in his mind, rather than a photograph or out in the field – “more of a feeling than an actual place,” he says. “I explore the relationship between humanity and the natural world.” His show at the MARC will also include charcoal portraits, he says.
In addition to the Foyer Gallery exhibit, the MARC will also host a pop-up art show in its Stage Room and side yard – an exhibit from Moab Regional Hospital. The show is titled Art for the Recovery Community, and will include live music in the side yard that evening.
Following the ArtWalk on August 2, the next ArtWalk for 2024 will take place November 1. For more information visit: www.moabarts.org/ moab-artwalk. n

REDUCING FIRE RISK AND IMPROVING HABITAT
Local wildfire preparedness gets a big boost from $5M grant
Written by Rachel Fixsen
KARA DOHRENWEND, DIRECTOR OF MOAB’S NONPROFIT RIM TO RIM RESTORATION, STROLLS DOWN THE PATH ALONG MILL CREEK BEHIND THE COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTER, POINTING OUT NATIVE AND NONNATIVE PLANTS AND EVIDENCE OF VEGETATION MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES USED THROUGH THE YEARS. THE PATH USED TO BE THICKLY GROWN IN, SHE SAYS—JUST WIDE ENOUGH TO NAVIGATE THE TUNNEL OF TREES AND BRUSH ENCROACHING ON IT. NOW IT HAS MORE OPEN AREAS AND IS SHADED BY MATURE COTTONWOOD TREES. PURPLE AND YELLOW BEE PLANTS COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER IN DENSE PATCHES. COTTONWOOD SAPLINGS, PLANTED BY RIM TO RIM IN RECENT YEARS, ARE GETTING ESTABLISHED. MUCH OF THE GROUND IS CUSHIONED WITH MULCH, CHIPPED FROM REMOVED INVASIVE TREES THAT HAD BEEN SQUEEZING OUT NATIVE PLANTS AND CHOKING THE CREEK.
Dohrenwend has been working in conservation in the Moab area since the 1990s, and she’s very familiar with Mill and Pack creeks, both of which flow down from the La Sal Mountains and into the Moab Valley before converging on the west side of town and joining the Colorado River a short distance away.
In her years dedicated to restoring natural ecosystems and healthy wildlife habitats along those creeks, she’s realized that her restoration
goals align with other important objectives, such as mitigating floods, improving water quality, and making the valley more resilient to wildfire. Dohrenwend has embraced those overlapping objectives and partnered with various organizations in managing the creek corridors.
“That’s how the corridors become more relevant to more people,” she says.
Recently, Rim to Rim Restoration, along with the Moab Valley Fire Department (MVFD)
and several other community partners, was awarded $5.2 million through a federally funded Community Wildfire Defense Grant (CWDG), to be distributed over the next five years to specifically address wildfire resiliency. The grant will support existing local partnerships aimed at reducing hazardous fuels, revegetating some areas with native species, and increasing outreach and public awareness of fire risks and how to manage them.
FIRE RISK IN RIPARIAN AREAS
The wetlands and the creek corridors in the Moab Valley can be a refuge of greenery for people and a haven for wildlife. But, as experts know and recent fire history has shown, they can also carry major wildfire risk.
“You basically create a fuse up and down the valley with Pack Creek and Mill Creek,” says Clark Maughan, Wildland Fire Coordinator with the MVFD. “This fuel type that we have is extremely volatile under the right conditions.”
Maughan has been in his current position for about a year, but he’s worked in wildland fire for three decades. Expertise like his is important in evaluating fire risk. Computer modeling tools used to predict fire behavior don’t always reflect the “ground-truth.” One such mapping tool, for example, isn’t fine-grained enough to register the strip of vegetation along the creeks in Moab Valley and only predicts moderate fire behavior there. But Maughan and other local firefighters know first-hand that fire behavior in the creek corridors can be extreme.

Eleven structures were destroyed, including eight homes.

Invasive plants, especially Russian olive, tamarisk, and invasive grasses are of particular concern. They can grow densely and carry intense fire quickly. Tamarisk burns well yearround, Maughan says, unlike many species which are wetter and more ignition-resistant in the spring.
“Tamarisk can just burn like gasoline under the right conditions,” he says.
When fire gets established in Russian olive, firefighters may have to retreat from direct attack.
“You don’t want to be anywhere close to the fire,” Maughan says. Flames can get up to 60 feet high.
“That’s a worst-case scenario—but we have had those,” Maughan says.
Much of Moab’s oldest, densest housing is located near the creeks, and at risk if fire got established in the creek corridors. According to the grant application submitted by Rim to Rim, there are 1,792 structures either completely or partially within 1,000 feet of the creeks. The Matheson Wetlands preserve is also adjacent to residential areas.
REDUCING HAZARD FUELS
Rim to Rim, the MVFD and the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands (FFSL), along with other groups, have been working in partnership for years to reduce hazardous fuels along the Mill and Pack creek corridors and in the wetlands.
“Russian olive is the primary concern in the valley,” says Duncan Fuchise, Wildland/Urban Interface Specialist with FFSL. In some cases, the division will help private landowners remove the trees from their properties. It’s difficult to control without the right equipment, skills, and strategy.
Top to bottom: Shown nearly 20 years ago, an area of the Mill Creek corridor in Moab is completely choked with invasive Russian olive. In 2008 this area was cleared of Russian olive and tamarisk. In February of 2009 native trees, shrubs and grasses were replanted in the bare areas. Years later the area is stabilized with a mix of a mostly native plant community, improving habitat, reducing fire risk and improving flow channels for flood resiliency.

“Part of the reason that Russian olive is so hard to tackle is that it grows on top of itself,” Fuchise says. Branches die, and new branches entwine over and through the old wood. “It becomes just a tangled mess if you leave them for long enough.”
Plus, he adds, “They’re really thorny, and they’re vigorous re-sprouters.” Without herbicide treatment, a cut Russian olive will sprout with new growth the next season—often with extra thorns, Fuchise says.
“We’ve kind of figured out what needs to be done to keep these invasives out,” Dohrenwend says. For example, mowing annual grasses at the right time of year, before they go to seed, can keep them in check.
Fuel reduction partners focused early efforts on clearing areas with very thick fuels, like Russian olive thickets, and creating fire breaks near water sources, like fire hydrants. That way, if a fire does get started in the creek corridor, firefighters have a relatively safe area to anchor and try to stop the fire’s spread. With the new grant, the partners hope to connect existing fuel breaks and monitor vegetation response, replanting with more fire-resistant native species where appropriate. About seven miles of creek corridor and the eastern edge of the Matheson preserve are targeted in the project.
OUTREACH AND PARTNERSHIPS WITH LANDOWNERS
Another element of the CWDG project is to improve public knowledge and awareness about the risk of wildland/urban interface fires, and help people manage their properties to prevent damage and loss.
Rim to Rim and FFSL will help landowners assess properties and make plans for how to remove hazardous fuels and maintain their landscaping once the initial clearing is done. Dohrenwend says the objective is a long lasting goal of “giving landowners the tools and the understanding of how to do this work in a way that it doesn’t just go on and on.”
Rim to Rim and partners also set up informative tables at local markets and festivals, reminding people to manage vegetation on their properties even when it’s not fire season. The best time to cut Russian olive, for example, is fall or early winter—a time when most people might not be thinking about wildfires. Cutting annual grasses is also more effective if it’s timed to limit seed production. And, it’s less arduous to address fuel reduction outside of fire season. Dohrenwend hopes timely reminders will get people thinking, “‘I should do that right now, while it’s not 110 degrees out.”

Grand County Emergency Management Director Cora Phillips says she looks forward to working with Rim to Rim, MVFD, FFSL, and other community partners in keeping wildfire danger in the public consciousness.
“This is really a collaborative effort with messaging,” Phillips says. Her office uses resources from Utah Fire Sense, another group that produces public service announcements aimed at reducing wildfires. She reaches the local community through local newspapers and through social media.
“We’re in a rural community,” she says, “and if we’re not working together, we’re really working against each other. There are a lot of people who want to work together and it’s about providing direction and a place to collaborate.”
Working with property owners is essential to maintaining fire resiliency in the creek corridors. Even with the large grant, Fuchise says, “It’s still going to take everybody’s help, including individual landowners.”
A HEALTHY ECOSYSTEM
Dohrenwend hopes that the five-year grant will establish community consciousness and habits that combat invasive plants and promote fire preparedness.
“By having five years of this, we can build some capacity and longevity,” Dohwenrend says. An ongoing, collaborative effort to keep hazardous fuels at bay will have other benefits. A more open creekbed will allow for slower, more spread-out flows during floods, reducing the danger of those events and allowing more native plants to access water.
“That’s the reason we’re involved in fire fuels removal; we want to restore the creek,” Dohrenwend says.
Implementing the grant will also require more hands to carry out the work. To help with fire fuel reduction, MVFD will hire seasonal employees, who will also receive training to fight fires and conduct other tasks for the department. An outreach position will be established, likely shared by two or more of the entities partnering under the grant.
“A number of jobs are going to come out of it, for people who live here,” Dohrenwend says. Dohrenwend and Maughan both say they believe Moab was awarded the grant because of how much groundwork had already been laid in forming partnerships and collaborating across agencies. They’re excited to keep on with the work.
“I think it’s going to be a great thing for the community,” Maughan says. n
