Gross, Susan |
| Description |
Kelly Brooks, an artist and co-founder of the Granary Arts Gallery, discusses her move from Salt Lake City to Ephraim, Utah, in 2004, and her appreciation for the rural pace of life and strong sense of community. She highlights challenges such as limited resources, particularly in education, arts, and culture, and the impact of remote work and second home purchases on community investment. Brooks also emphasizes the unique artistic community in Sanpete Valley, her experiences co-founding Granary Arts, and her hopes for thoughtful, sustainable growth in Ephraim that balances economic development with the preservation of its artistic and natural character. |
