NEWS: Did you lose something during the
festival? Lost and Found is located at the UCD Experimental College
(South Silo). If you are missing something it might very well be there.
Whole Earth Festival was born when an art class
taught by Jose Arguelles had an "Art Happening" on the University of
California, Davis campus in 1969. The students used art to involve
those that attended in an educational process that dared to transcend
the typical system of standardized tests and impersonal lectures.
Following the United Nations declaration of "Earth Day" in 1970, the
second "Art Happening" (1971) was renamed "Whole Earth." Later
sponsored by the Associated Student's Experimental College, and then
becoming a self-sustaining unit, the Whole Earth Festival has evolved
over three decades into what can be seen Mother's Day weekend on the
U.C. Davis campus every year.
