District 2 Supervisor Liz Archuleta — Announcing the Mask Responsibly Art Contest!

“Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world.”

— Dolores Huerta

Southbound US 180 drivers wanting to travel east on Historic Route 66 (B40) can use Beaver Street, between Dale Avenue and Historic Route 66 (B40), as an alternate route during the road construction project. One northbound and one southbound lane will remain open on US 180 during construction.

The construction project, which is scheduled to be completed in late fall 2020, will add a second right-turn lane at the US 180/Route 66 intersection for drivers approaching the intersection from southbound US 180.

ADOT advises drivers to slow down and use caution around construction personnel and equipment while the road construction project is underway.

The Flagstaff Arts Council is excited to announce the Please Stay, Play Distance & Mask Responsibly Art Contest in collaboration with the City of Flagstaff and Coconino County. This contest promotes creativity while social distancing, reflection on the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and drives awareness of important public health guidelines.

Entries will be juried by City of Flagstaff and Coconino County staff and officials and prizes will be awarded to the top contenders! All forms of art and expression are welcomed to enter. Entries can either promote safe pandemic practices such as mask-wearing, physical distancing, hand washing, sheltering in place, etc. or explore a theme of the entrants choosing as long as it relates to the COVID-19 pandemic. Entries can include visual, performance, written, or any other form of creative expression. The competition is open to any Arizona resident. Up to one prize will be awarded to a qualified entry outside Coconino County. There is a special prize for the best youth entry!
