Our CigArt machine in the Convention Center (right next to the Bisbee Table, Bisbee Coffee Company & Bisbee Bodega) features lots of local artists, and every week we will be featuring one of them talking about their work. The CigArt machine is a great way to not only support local artists, but to help support the Bisbee Arts Commission too!

First, introduce yourself and tell us a bit about your work as artist:

Hello I’m Kurt Hauser. I am the current chair of the Bisbee Arts Commission. I am mostly a musician and educator but I also have a a passion for making things. I currently have mini “prayer” flag sets in the Cigart Machine in the Bisbee Convention Center. I make tie dye clothing that you can find at https://www.humblebeedesigns.net/

What can people expect to see when they buy your work in the CigArt machine?

I was inspired to make flag sets by a string of flags that hung in The Quarry, my favorite bar in Bisbee that is no more. They are a lot of fun to make. When I joined the BAC I thought mini flag stars would be a good addition to the Cigart Machine. They are all hand made and each set is stamped with an original linocut of our beloved B on the mountain.

Now that the magical dust (and rain) of New Year's Eve has settled, we'd like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who made the event such a great night of art and community.

A big thank you to Flam Chen, City of Bisbee staff, the Arizona Rangers, the Jonquil Motel, Art Car World, Kate Pearson, Rick McKinney, the Bisbee Inn, Friends of the Bisbee Animal Shelter, Luke Oldfield, Spencer Edgerton, the Wh***ey Lickers, Loco Mundi, the Bisbee Table, Aerie Studio, Rene Johnson, Chromatest, Cirque Collective, Rose Hall, and Ed the Clown.

This event would've never happened at all without the hard work of the Bisbee Arts Commission, and all of you who showed up to celebrate, despite the weather, with such incredibly good vibes.
