Slab City

Salavation Mountain is the creation of Leonard Knight, who over a period of decades created an artwork out of adobe clay and thousands of gallons of paint that covers an entire hillside, proclaiming the message that "God is Love". His artwork is a brightly colored monument that was described as "profoundly strange" in an address on the Senate floor. In addition to the main artwork, Salvation Mountain is surrounded by many other items that have been painted in impressive fashion, ranging from cars to boats to mailboxes.

East Jesus is an experimental, sustainable, habitable, art installation. There is no religious connotation in the name East Jesus - it's a colloquialism for the middle of nowhere beyond the edge of services; their off-grid facility operates with no municipal utilities. You can explore their expansive art garden with a free docent-led tour, learn about their numerous and varied sustainability initiatives, and imagine a world without waste in which every action is an opportunity for self-expression. East Jesus was a part of Slab City until the land was purchased from the state.

The Range is an open-air nightclub that hosts musical performances every Saturday night at sunset. The venue provides a stage, lights, amplifiers, and speakers, and anyone and everyone with an instrument and/or a voice is invited to perform. While acts vary during the winter, locals jokingly describe the summer performances as "the same three singers performing the same five songs".
