International Car Forest of the Last Church, Urban Desert Art⠀
Do you love street art? What about outdoor art installations? With over 40 cars sticking out of the sand or balancing on top of one another, the International Car Forest of the Last Church in Goldfield Nevada is both. This is an Instagram-worthy Nevada road trip stop to add to your bucket list.
There is no theme or specific message attached to the car forest. It began with two artists. Rippie owns the land and began the project to make the Guinness Book of World Records for the number of cars planted vertically in the ground. Sorg was an artist wanting to create a peaceful spot as an artist retreat. They worked together for seven years to expand the urban art installation until 2011. The two artists had a falling out and have gone their separate ways. Rippie is in jail for gun charges and Sorg is working on another project in Reno.
There is no question this spot in Nevada’s Mojave Desert is photogenic and will provide many photo opportunities. The forest remains and can be explored off US Hwy 95. The neighboring ghost town of Goldfield is another secret spot full of insta-ideas.
