Hupy and Swedberg’s book was inspired by two questions: Why do artists choose a specific small town to make their home, and how does such a migration impact the artists as well as their new neighbors and community? The La Conner museum, at 501 Fourth St., is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. More at www.skagitcounty.net/museum.
