The White House Ranch

The White House Ranch was a temporary art project that ran from 2010 until 2013. It was envisioned and executed as an exercise in intentional community and community building. Our one goal was to turn an abandoned crack house and neglected parcel of land into something that would serve the greater whole, to bring once isolated neighbors together through art and music, to celebrate what unites us and to cast light on all false things that divide. In many respects, we were successful beyond our wildest dreams. When we began, we never could have imagined the love and support of the community we see around us today. Thank you forever for all of the wonderful memories, each and every one of you. We will cherish this space always. Thank you.

Nice little interview here with Ilya, the lead designer on this summer’s project, The Cathedral of Celestial Mathgic as well as a nice introduction to the rest of the crew. It is quite an honor for them to be chosen to be placed in the Café Portal for this year’s festival and it’s quite an honor for us to be hosting them. Stay tuned for information on our unveiling and send-off celebration coming later this summer!
