The Muckenthaler

Featured Charity
The Muck mission is to celebrate the human spirit through the arts.

Walter and Adella Muckenthaler built the 18 room mansion in 1924 atop this hill in Fullerton and it served as the center of their citrus and nut farming business, as well as their family home, for more than four decades.

In 1965, their son Harold Muckenthaler donated the mansion and the surrounding 8.5 acres to the city with the proviso that his childhood home be used to provide the public with experiences that stimulate creativity and imagination, while conserving the heritage and architecture of the estate.

And in 1999, The Muckenthaler Mansion received designation by the National Registry of Historic places.

Today, though the City of Fullerton maintains ownership of the property, it is managed by The Muckenthaler Cultural Center Foundation and its elected Board of Directors. The City and the Muck enjoy a strong spirit of cooperation in the best interest of our mutual constituents.

PAR AVION may be from California but their influences are very broad and it shows in their performances. Drawing upon the traditions of Southern Californian's reverb-heavy guitar sound, the band takes a journey that touches upon a unique mix of flavors incorporating a little dance, a drop of cumbia now and then and some good ol' garage.

My poetry is based on universal themes that many individuals can relate to. The most common themes I write about are; love, equality, belonging and hope. Over the years, I have recognised the importance of expressing myself to make sense of the world around me and I do it best through the writing I produce. It is so important to understand how our human experiences and emotions tie us closely together. In a world, where division is common, I am keen to spread a message on hope. I am passionate about writing and understand how words can transform individuals. There is no doubt, there is liberation in reading and power in poetry.

Drive-by Porchraits 2020
The Drive-by Porchraits project began in late March 2020 as the novel virus known as COVID-19 began to change our daily lives as we had known them. As an artist and musician, I was struggling with the near immediate loss of every gig on the books while still trying to find ways to keep the creativity flowing. Almost everyone was sheltering in place, stuck at home for weeks on end with no apparent light at the end of the proverbial tunnel.
