So here's where we are at this point:
1. Research is done
2. Land is purchased
3. Designs for the Residence are Done
4. Partnerships are being developed with art organizations and artists (more to come)
What are we doing on the island?
Filming for a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign. Like most artists, we are normal people, and that means for a project this large we need help to bring it to light in order to share this facility with others.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Yup.
 So we are telling our story in pictures by filming the land where the retreat will be, while explaining the project. This will ultimately be our Kickstarter promotion.
Here we are setting up the gear after hiking it down our property to the beach. Nice view huh? (not me, the beach!)

 Finally back on the Island for some progress on our project!
Plants:
This visit we checked our tree plantings and although didn't seem to have luck with the coconuts, we did seem to score on the Christmas Palms and some other things. The parcel seemed more grown which is good. Unlike the normal practice on the island of just bulldozing an entire lot for clearing we plan to be selective where we can. Speaking with a local landscape artist there, some trees can be tagged and hopefully moved or avoided.
Designs:
New designs were developed to maximize the views on the property and we were able to document the change in the view based on time of day, and tide. With its constant change it is truly a dynamic view.
Prep for Kickstarted launch:
Bryan and I are going to be spending a good portion of time filming the land, and capturing footage of your's truly talking about the project. This mini-film will be used for our Kickstarter launch coming soon.
Building Partnerships:
Island life depends on everyone getting along. We continue to meet great people when we are there and were able to interview a few artists who are looking forward to what Exnihilo will bring to their island. |

 Here are the newly design residences with studio space in between.
This will allow more views and comfortable sleeping and personal space for each artist! |

Brushed off the design plans to begin the next phase. A never ending process of things to do. Permits and ground surveys coming in March. |
