Phew!  It's been three weeks since HDTS 2013 came to a close in Albuquerque, and we're still processing everything that was experienced during the epic week-long, three-state event.  We'll be sharing more about the event in the coming weeks (please let us know if you have any stories, photos, videos, or other personal accounts from the event that you would like to contribute to the effort!), but for now we'd like to extend a huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this event possible--and there are a lot of you!  HDTS 2013 was a big and ambitious experiment for us this year, and we couldn't have pulled it off without our dedicated artists, donors, partnering venues, volunteers, attendees, and friends.

OUR ARTISTS–the most resourceful, awesome, can-do participants ever, who realized hugely ambitious projects with very little outside support or resources: Alisha Adams, Art Queen, Korakrit Arunanondchai, Ellen Babcock & Andrea Polli, Katie Bachler, Julia Barbee & Matt Suplee, Roxanne Bartlet & Marie Lorenz, Michael Bisbee, Kurt Brethauer, Mattias Cantzler, CDTS, Pilar Conde, dark: 30, Angela de la Agua, Brooks Dierdorff, Lea Donnan, Bob Dornberger & Jim Piatt, Jim Drain, Elsewhere (Etc.
