ARTIST MUSÉUS - We are very inspired by Muséus (Anthony Meyo) and all he does as an artist, including his latest performance opening for the Sundown Ritual // JUNE 24 • Be sure to LIKE his page, and get tuned in for happenings on upcoming festivities, music and dance-wear!

Some of the beauty of showcasing artists who travel Elsewhere is that they send festive news from Elsewhere. News like having the #MysticFlyer featured in the #IntergalacticArtCarFestival in Las Vegas earlier this month is thrilling. (A LED light panel from last year's Mystic Flyer art car was on display in the United Building along Main Street over the winter.)

Keep traveling, Timothy Johnson & Anthony Meyo.
