WHO

ART FARM is a yearly celebration of life & gathering of community, exploring artistic creativity & self expression.

​

2023 is our first year! Nearly 3 years after starting Purple Raven Farm we have finally arrived at ART FARM level functionality!

Heck yeah! and hoo-ray!

We hope you will join us and help make it happen!

​

Who is ART FARM? Well, ART FARM is you!

The dominant culture of spectatorship & apathy often limits our ability to create and strengthen resilient communities. Participation & cooperation  helps breaks the spell of passivity & opens us up to deeper 

connections with each other & from our view it's just more fun!

​

Participation on the day of ART FARM might look like anything.

Jump in on something that's happening or bring something to share. There are already many interactive projects planned for you to participate in. 

Come early in the week leading up to ART FARM to help us prepare or to set up a community project of your own.
