Artist Shelbie Loomis initiated a project on the island called Park Arts. It encourages people to express themselves in all manner of creative expression. In the short time Shelbie has been living on the island she instituted a craft program utilizing paper mache to create sculptures around balloons, a wandering singers program that has been practicing Holiday Carols for island residents.
