Linton chosen for Hidden in the Hills directory BY FOOTHILLS FOCUS STAFF
T
he nonprofit Sonoran Arts League’s Hidden in the Hills will take place Friday, Nov. 19, to Sunday, Nov. 21, and Friday, Nov. 26, to Sunday, Nov. 28. This year’s free, self-guided tour features 192 artists at 45 private studios throughout the Desert Foothills communities of Cave Creek, Carefree and North Scottsdale. The league also announced that Jon Linton’s “Barrio Viejo” photograph of the front entrance of a colorful adobe home will grace the cover of this year’s four-color artist directory. Linton is an acclaimed photographer and activist who advocates for the homeless and other underserved populations. He is best known for his “I Have a Name” street photography series as well as his serene and stunning black-and-white landscape photography. “Jon’s photograph captured the sentiment of our 25th annual event beautifully,” said Jane Boggs, a gourd artist and
studio host who serves as the event’s co-chair. “Now that the world is opening back up, we are eager to welcome collectors and art enthusiasts to our studios for what is sure to be a memorable artist studio tour.” Hidden in the Hills co-chair and mixed-media sculptor/studio host Joanie Wolter said the cover art selection is also significant because it is the first time a photographer’s work has been featured on the artist directory cover. “We had many strong entries, but ‘Barrio Viejo’ really stood out,” Wolter said. “It’s conveys a warm, welcoming message that resonated with us, and we’re thrilled that Jon will exhibit his new work during the tour this year.”
