In April 2025, Nouns DAO funded Prop 757, resulting in the creation of a massive Nounish landmark at Art City, a 40-acre sculpture park and creative hub on Route 66 in Tucumcari, New Mexico. The landmark became an anchor for Nouns in the American Southwest — a visible, permanent installation that embodies the ethos of playful, public art.
I propose to build on that foundation by bringing Nouns to life through a multi-day retreat and community engagement experience. This will not only activate the Nounish landmark but also deepen connections between DAO members, artists, and the local community.
For those interested, I just gave a keynote about Art City at the Aspen Design Conference.
Morning: Town Cleanup & Group Mural
Lunch: Catered, family-style meal at Art City.
Afternoon: Lake Conchas or 5 Mile Park Outing
Evening: Opening Ceremony at The Gnome
In Town (3–5 minutes from Art City):
Catering included:
Beer, wine, soda, and non-alcoholic options provided.
Here's a sample of the vibe of our past gatherings.
By funding this proposal, Nouns DAO continues its tradition of supporting playful, public-facing art that strengthens community bonds. Let’s gather, create, and leave Tucumcari more Nounish than we found it.
