Transforming Rural America Through Art
Cultural Revitalization Platform: Art City represents a revolutionary approach to rural economic development, using monumental art installations and cultural experiences to transform overlooked towns into must-see destinations. The website I built serves as the digital gateway to this 40-acre outdoor gallery, connecting travelers along Interstate 40 with unique art experiences, glamping accommodations, and cultural events.
Working with Matty Mo (The Most Famous Artist) and the Open3 connection, this project showcases the intersection of technology, art, and community development. The high-performance website achieved perfect PageSpeed scores while providing an immersive booking experience for visitors seeking authentic cultural adventures in the American Southwest.
