Far Out aims to create a conversation among its visitors, asking them to question whether counterculture still exists today, with the inclusion of a collection of a 21st century re-emergence of transcendence through the arts. Far Out will be a safe space for people to gather, reflect, and communicate about the impact issues in society have on individuals and groups of people, all while considering the movements of the past. The psychedelic movement started in San Francisco, and quickly found its way to Davis as evident by the UC Davis Domes.
