<p> </p> <p>Kelly visits the Noah Purifoy Desert Art Museum in Joshua Tree. Purifoy's outdoor assemblages include found items from piles of discarded clutter spread out across this dry landscape. Where others saw junk, Noah saw poetry. An old friend of Noah's, Pat Brunty, walks the grounds with Kelly while sharing personal stories.</p> <p>Her next stop is Pioneertown, a quirky desert community with a Main Street built as an 1880s Old West motion picture set. She spends time with Gwen Barker and Eric Dean, co-owners of Rim Rock Ranch, to talk about the desert and preservation, and rides some horses.</p> <p> </p> <p>Show Notes:</p> <ul role="list" data-w-id="0cc3e2c0-c7d0-7794-c342-cff920ddd779" data-wf-id="["0cc3e2c0-c7d0-7794-c342-cff920ddd779"]"> <li data-w-id="3f80418e-5b42-f600-4e43-1591d4722bda" data-wf-id= "["3f80418e-5b42-f600-4e43-1591d4722bda"]" data-palette= "ListItem">Visit the <a href= "https://www.noahpurifoy.com/joshua-tree-outdoor-museum/" data-w-id="ffc5930b-d92d-28b1-cb72-26d10b64efaa" data-wf-id= "["ffc5930b-d92d-28b1-cb72-26d10b64efaa"]" data-rt-link-type="external" data-palette="Link">Noah Purifoy Desert Art Museum</a></li> <li data-w-id="c58aa3d7-24b0-8277-34b7-a6acd137cd7e" data-wf-id= "["c58aa3d7-24b0-8277-34b7-a6acd137cd7e"]" data-palette= "ListItem">Help <a href="https://www.noahpurifoy.com/donate" data-w-id="65237c5c-94e6-fe1b-7db7-65641ccfcbcb" data-wf-id= "["65237c5c-94e6-fe1b-7db7-65641ccfcbcb"]" data-rt-link-type="external" data-palette= "Link">support </a>the Noah Purifoy Foundation.</li> <li data-w-id="f3b449df-5514-01eb-5843-f75cfd958730" data-wf-id= "["f3b449df-5514-01eb-5843-f75cfd958730"]" data-palette= "ListItem">Read more about Noah Purifoy in <a href= "https://journal.voca.network/art-is-a-confrontation-with-a-me-that-needs-improving/" data-w-id="162f0340-37b0-3f1a-67d4-4461a48932fb" data-wf-id= "["162f0340-37b0-3f1a-67d4-4461a48932fb"]" data-rt-link-type="external" data-palette="Link">Voices in Contemporary Art</a> (VoCA) and in the <a href= "https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2015/may/29/noah-purifoy-los-angeles-county-museum-of-art" data-w-id="2f96ffee-b683-3a9d-774a-a4a3cebfe4e8" data-wf-id= "["2f96ffee-b683-3a9d-774a-a4a3cebfe4e8"]" data-rt-link-type="external" data-palette="Link">Guardian.</a></li> <li data-w-id="dd5cf776-b878-a06e-fe03-0eb7bcacdf48" data-wf-id= "["dd5cf776-b878-a06e-fe03-0eb7bcacdf48"]" data-palette= "ListItem">Stay at the<a href="https://www.therimrockranch.com/" data-w-id="d5427dbb-adf8-a148-8cae-c1fca5bf3ecc" data-wf-id= "["d5427dbb-adf8-a148-8cae-c1fca5bf3ecc"]" data-rt-link-type="external" data-palette="Link"> Rimrock Ranch</a></li> <li data-w-id="9ad68e54-c9ff-3ca7-d2a2-b8617f645c6d" data-wf-id= "["9ad68e54-c9ff-3ca7-d2a2-b8617f645c6d"]" data-palette= "ListItem"><a href="https://rimrockranch.bigcartel.com/" data-w-id= "17200ff4-d1a3-65ae-2cd8-70989c6bcad9" data-wf-id= "["17200ff4-d1a3-65ae-2cd8-70989c6bcad9"]" data-rt-link-type="external" data-palette="Link">Shop</a> Rimrock Ranch Merch</li> </ul>
