Painted Sky Center for the Arts, which has been a place for the practice and appreciation of art and culture for Grant County residents since 2019, held a ribbon cutting May 14 to celebrate its acquisition last November of the former Madden Building in John Day.

The Painted Sky Center for the Arts building, on Northwest Bridge Street, which had been the former Blue Mountain Junior High School before it was known as the Madden Building, hosted a number of supporters who were able to tour the arts center and see the different classrooms and spaces where residents young and old practice various arts such as painting, ceramics, leather craft and fiber arts such as weaving and knitting, among other skills.
