Victory Projects
Test Flight #1
An international program dedicated to bringing art to communities around the world in non-traditional spaces that incites all those in contact to experience, explore, converse, debate and appreciate. Art is not meant for only showing and selling. It’s for sharing, for connecting and for storytelling.
For our first experience, Test Flight arrives in the High Desert of Joshua Tree. The tour will feature 2 distinct homes, a gallery, and a sculpture park.
Location #1 - Brendan Pattengale
