Blue Highways Day Trip #3 - Where Have All the Artists Gone?
Series: Blue Highways
From: Eric Mack
Length: 00:05:00
In recent years, many artists have been heading for the hills, or the desert or the prairie. Thousands of artists of all ages have been leaving big cities for smaller, out of the way places - like Taos, New Mexico. Today we've enlisted three transplanted Taos artists, Michael Ferrara, Mel Scully and Andrew Moe to show us what brought them here from the city.
This 5-minute module comes from a recent visit to Taos County, New Mexico, which has one of the highest per capita rates of resident artists in the country.
Stations also have the option to remove the intro and outro and use the story with the provided anchor lede, so long as credit is given on-air to 'Blue Highways 'or 'Blue Highway Productions .'
