Our Economic Impact
by Ed Nolde MTWS Vice President

Watermedia 2001 and the Juror’s Workshop brought over $6,000 to Bigfork’s economy. Participants paid for motel rooms, restaurant meals, gasoline and shopping.

Purchasers of paintings contributed 30% of the purchase price to the Bigfork Art and Cultural Center.

Please help increase local support for Watermedia by mentioning this economic impact to local businesses when you are in Bigfork for Watermedia 2002. Suggest that the business owners and employees visit the show.
