It was founded as a Utopian community with a connection to a school, but like so many 19th/early 20th century American Utopian experiments it was short lived in that form. My connection to the Firehouse began when a board member saw my Drive-in Theater KS project and wrote to tell me about the DI in Ruskin. Then she spent time at my web site and discovered that way back forty years ago on a scholarship college trip I'd studied Utopian Societies--that was the genesis of the invitation to be Artist in Residence.Carl Weesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291898089206705608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33929660.post-32169472337903283702012-11-17T15:11:14.928-05:002012-11-17T15:11:14.928-05:00It's interesting that this place is named afte...It's interesting that this place is named after Ruskin. I've spent a lot of time in the English Lake District where Ruskin's home was on the shores of Coniston Water. His contribution to how we emotionally regard wild places was pivotal. Before his writings, Victorians were fearful of mountainous areas and never considered them as places of great beauty. He helped to persuade folk to visit mountains and to appreciate nature's hand; we are richer for it. Rich Gift Of Linshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17868005278180471114noreply@blogger.com
