We propose a public/private partnership that concurrently showcases multicultural vitality, leading-edge clean energy technologies and sustainability principles, built in harmony with the untamed splendor and soul of the American Southwest. It begins with The Pecos River Ranch; unspoiled forests, abundant wildlife and the priceless river, which is the thread of life that returns unendingly to its source. The Pecos River has carved its path across the land for 400,000 years, creating a masterpiece in northern New Mexico, and it still brings its lifeblood, water, to us today. We invite you to visualize 6 miles of river flowing through 6,000 acres in "the Land of Enchantment." This pristine setting will host an artists-in-residence enclave and think tank; an indoor and outdoor art museum; an interactive wildlife rehabilitation center and observation park; and sustainable building centers—all involved in a EFTA00738243 manner that honors the inherent values and assets of natural systems and healthy communities. As Andy Warhol said, "Land really is the best art." This project illustrates that premise for a world audience with a compelling series of attractions, engaging visitors in a learning experience that fosters and renews appreciation, knowledge and environmentally responsible action. The story will be told via cornerstone projects in this initiative: Living Art Space and Museum: The museum will be a sustainable site that produces all its own energy and contributes energy to its surroundings. The site will reflect the natural landscape and function as a zero energy event venue. Artwork will similarly showcase the essential elements emphasized in this project. Novel and innovative pairings of works will be presented in an exciting and educational format, in a way that speaks to our themes of sustainability and diversity. Echoing the Smithsonian Institution's emphasis on both science and art, the museum will display indoor and outdoor exhibitions including both permanent and temporary site-specific installations integrated into the landscape and preserve. Wildlife Rehabilitation Facility and Park: While the majority of the ranch will be managed for free-ranging wildlife like mule deer, elk, wild turkey and the peregrine falcons that observe everything from high overhead—there is a great need for facilities to treat and shelter injured and orphaned wildlife. A state-of-the-art wildlife clinic and rehabilitation center will be built using green technologies and materials, and will be powered by off-the-grid renewable energy. In addition to the wildlife clinic, the center will serve as a natural-setting wildlife observation park and educational facility. Green Building Center Featuring Affordable Housing Options: Just as Hurricane Katrina ultimately enabled advances in green building technology, our New Mexico project will enable even further advances toward affordable and sustainable housing. Centuries ago, indigenous populations relied on the sustainability and durability of adobe, sun-dried brick made from clay soil, and other local building materials. We plan to build on this enduring cultural heritage and blend it with state-of-the-art design, materials and technologies. The center will become a high integrity industry, producing affordable, sustainable green housing. Our next steps begin with a master development plan. Then business plans will be developed for each separate project as outlined above. Our management structure will use a tiered approach to guiding and overseeing project planning, development and operation. A strategic and operational plan will guide organizational management. We will continue to expand our extensive, enthusiastic network of advisors and supporters which has been structured to include renowned artists, architects, performers, financial managers, investors, sustainability designers and others. We invite you to join this diverse alliance to help make this vision a reality. We're offering you an exclusive opportunity to participate with us in growing a community that celebrates and models award-winning, innovative and EFTA00738244 sustainable design and living, while striving for elegant simplicity in the style of Georgia O'Keeffe's New Mexico. Please let us know if this is something you would be interested in pursuing with us. This project is about creativity, imagination and thinking big! Our potential for community outreach is global: a Bilbao-sized international museum in the midst of a wildlife preserve, in harmony with a sustainable community. There is no initiative like this on Earth. Yet. With sincere regards, Val Kilmer EFTA00738245
