Ghost Ranch Education & Retreat Center encompasses over 21,000 acres of towering rock walls, vivid colors and vast skies as made famous by Georgia O’Keeffe who spent nearly 50 years living and painting there. The landscape, the light, the air, the wind, became her muse from the moment she first traveled there by Model T in 1934.
Blossoms & Bones aims to inspire artist and patrons alike as they gather to share a remarkably intimate festival experience in this powerful, sacred place that is immediately known to anyone who has ever seen O’Keeffe’s work.
