The future of the Albany Landfill is uncertain.



The Albany Landfill is slated to become a state park—safe and unsurprising—
and if the planners win, the art will be removed, the dogs leashed, the non-native plants uprooted. But against the vision of the park planners a fierce resistance has mobilized, and for now the landfill still offers a modicum of freedom to artists, dog lovers, and all those who crave a temporary escape from the predictability of a packaged urban environment.

Whatever the outcome of the struggle, this book will be a permanent record of the landfill’s beauty, the many lives it has touched, and the magnificent art it has nourished and inspired. The book will be a powerful argument for preserving the landfill as it is—an experiment in selfregulating anarchy, a museum without walls, guards, or curators.

To make this book and its outreach and publicity possible we need to raise $30,000. Whatever you contribute, the support will help preserve the Albany Landfill’s legacy and the influence it has had over the years. All contributions to Heyday Institute are tax deductible. Donations of $250 or more will be acknowledged in the final publication.
