This is another place we came across
last year, by accident. We were just driving around Slab City and
noticed the unusual art. At the time we didn't know it actually had
a name. This year as we visited it again, one of the members told me
the name and that they have a web site. East Jesus is in Slab City,
outside Niland, CA. Here again there have been some changes. The
founder, Charles Russell passed away May 2011. Some of his art work
was taken away to prevent it from being destroyed, either by weather
or human hands. It is my understanding that friends are maintaining
this art community and trying to decide the direction they will
take.. It is an interesting place. Many artist continue to contribute to the displays.
