We love European Land Art Festival and we are grateful they are hosting the World Rockstacking Championships this year. Here is your opportunity to get one of their t-shirts - it is sure to become a collectors item as this is the first time the Championships have been held anywhere besides Llano and probably the only time this will happen. So get your shirt now before they are gone.

This beautiful Art Installation of dry stacked stones was created by Pennsylvanian artist Devin Devine of Devine Escapes during last years LEAF. It stood beautifully for 1 year and visitors from all over the world got enjoy it for that one year.
Sadly, this week the structure was destroyed. See the before and after pictures below.

Devin has offered to drive all the way from Pennsylvania to Texas to rebuild the cairn in time for the eclipse. That is an amazing gesture. He just needs to have his fuel costs covered.

Please - help us get this rebuilt in time for the eclipse - any amount will help. Devin’s paypal email is

What a great opportunity to see where David Allen of Stone Point Studio creates his magic!!! David is one of the few artists who has been to every single LEAF. You can see one of his spheres in the sculpture garden in Llano, but if can get to Maine in September you really should go see his studio.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: The 2024 World Rock Stacking Championship will be hosted by European Land Art Festival in Dunbar, Scotland!
LEAF is very happy to announce that ELAF will host the 2024 World Rock Stacking Championship next summer as there will NOT be a LEAF 2024 in Llano. Yes, you read that correctly. LEAF will not take place in 2024 as conflicts with scheduling (there is a major eclipse around the same time) and a host of other factors (from staffing to expenses to...other issues) leave us no option but to declare a fallow year for '24. Our hopes and dreams are to bring LEAF back in 2025 in a grand way, better than ever. We will need your support, your time, your energy and your love to make that happen.
We remain in awe and in gratitude to all of you who have, in previous years, made great sacrifices in order to bring this internationally recognized event to little Llano, Texas. It has been an amazing ride. In the words of one of the LEAF artists, “I just wanted to say, (what a) profound effect you and LEAF have had on so many of us. And even if we've been to our last LEAF the reverberations of its tremendous impact on us will continue far into the future.
……life affirming encounters and opportunities for personal growth have come from your vision of bringing together all of us like minded people, who share so much but had no idea we were a tribe.
…….. we have the dozens of international artists who went from isolated islands to finding their family. And hundreds or thousands who go away from a LEAF visit enriched from feeding on that family vibe. No one is excluded! And then thousands more who feel us through social media.
……..Also, I know my sentiments are shared by all the artists and you have all of our utmost respect and gratitude for LEAF. It has already positively altered so many lives that no LEAF in 2024 is merely a blip in its impact.”
We hope you will consider coming to Llano to view the Total Eclipse of the Sun on April 8, 2024. We have heard from several of the LEAF artists who say they will come to Llano of their own accord and create art along the banks of Ole’ Llano River the week before the eclipse. That means there will be some fine Earth Art to view along with the eclipse.
Sending big love out to each of you, and if things align we will see you again officially at LEAF 2025 for our 10th event. Until then blessed be the ties that bind.
