Justin Messina will be performing his original musical composition on a 168 year old Estey Melodeon pump organ at 2pm, 3pm, 4pm, and 5pm.

Land + Sky // Tierra y Cielo pairs agriculturally significant properties with contemporary artists to create immersive site-specific installations. 

The artists’ work touches on topics such as the role of personal narratives in land use, historical ecology, sound mapping, archival audio layering, and the porosity of cultural territories.

We hope to see you there!
