The High Desert Mural Festival announced the appointment of Evan Namkung as their new HDMF Executive Director. The HDMF continues to pursue its mission of facilitating murals in our community, and will be announcing their plans for new ideas in Central Oregon in the near future. "Mountains for All" Evan Namkung 2021 "My background in murals originates from a deep love and appreciation for street art in all of its forms. Public art helps to tell the story of a place and the people who live there, and we are fortunate that cities in Central Oregon have begun to recognize the cultural value that comes from having public murals displayed, especially when they are completed by local artists. These growing opportunities would not have become possible without the hard work of the High Desert Mural Festival and Doug Robertson, and I am excited to continue moving that energy forward in ways that highlight the vast appreciation for arts that exists in this region." - Evan Na
