Help us save the longtime home of Les Blank Films, (formerly Flower Films) Arhoolie Foundation, and
Down Home Music, a unique hotbed of authentic American music and culture.

Dear Fans and Supporters, As of 11/21/24, we are under contract to purchase the Down Home building from Chris Strachwitz’s Estate. We are off to a great start but still need to raise $2 million by April 2025! Every penny raised goes to the purchase of the building, and to keep all three entities together. We all want this special place, this Cathedral of Culture, (as Adam Machado calls it), to survive and grow. In a world that’s becoming more artificial and robotic every day, let’s keep original music-making and film making, alive for future generations!
Please pass the word along and donate what you can. Together we can save our collective history.
