About ART WE THERE YET ππ
Art We There Yet is a project co-created by artist JosΓ© Luis VΓlchez and songwriter Cora Rose. Our mission is to create art inspired by the Americas, and to give back to communities along the way. Aboard a school bus converted into an art and recording studio (a tiny house skoolie bus conversion), we are traveling 30,000 miles from Alaska to Argentina, touching 23 countries of the Americas over 7+ years! We create art and music that highlight the beautiful people and landscapes of the Americas. And we provide murals and workshops in schools and communities that lack access to arts funding. Because ART is meant to be SHARED! β€οΈπ¨ππΌβ€οΈ

If you could transport yourself to ONE SPOT in this video, which one would it be?! ππΊ
Muito bom amigo gostei do vΓdeo
You Americans own Canada a big thank you for allowing American to build a highway through another country to gain easier access to Alaska otherwise your only way of getting to Alaska would be by Ocean Ferry. So a Thank you to Canada in your video would have been nice.
Excellent video sir. Thanks for you and your family. I am
Watching keenly. Thanks. New way you are presenting. Thanks. God bless you and all.
back in 2011 i live fortnelson bc, been to mucho lake few times as well the liard hot spring, the place is beautiful. stay safe and enjoy.
very interesting, new sub.
Nice video πΉ
Thereβs lots of artifacts in Fort St John too. Itβs about 45 mins fr Dawson Creek towards Fort Nelson. Itβs bigger then Dawson Creek or Fort Nelson.

How much gas did it cost one way to get to Alaska I'm in Tennessee what do you think it would cost me and gas β½
The Alaska Highway has really changed since 1955 when my father first drove an Army Jeep up the Alaskan highway from Bellingham, WA. The many stops where you have stopped wasn't there until Alaska became a State. The old road was gravel with lots chuck wholes and small rivers crossings because the road was pushed through with a D-9 disease track crawler tractor. Happy to see that they have improved the road.
You guys miss so much between Fort St. John in Fort Nelson toad river, Montreux lake, Lyard river Lyard hot springs as a long time family of Dawson creek you did not do a good job
Thank you….this is a very nice video. Alaska is on my bucket list. In fact… Planning to make our way there spring, summer 2024!
Alaska Highway was my main street in Fort Nelson, BC from 98-2001; drove it to Whitehorse, Yukon once π
I am driving the alaskan highway by the end of july. Are there gas stations everywhere? Do i need to bring a gas can for extra fuel? Beautiful video by the way.
Always read in the Encyclopedia in the 70s about this Highway. I still had the old Encyclopedia with me. During that time it was considered the Longest Highway in the world.
If I am not mistaken about this facts.During that time it was more lusy, lonely and cooler than now.
Great video I love this drive and have made it solo with my two Labradors 3x in last 4 years. What time of year was this trip made in the fall? Thank you ~π
I love how you share not only your beautiful journey, but include science and history as well!
Love from Bangladesh β€β€
I'm so in love with Alaska β€ Thanks to you guys….keep up the good workβπ»
So beautiful thank u for taking me to places i could never afford to go
Sorry to be rude but at least give information that is true about the carbon /oxygen used by trees in that lucky if it has 20% to do with our atmosphere since science proves the oceans contribute almost 80% of our atmospheric compounds.
Absolutely beautiful β€
β€β€
Very good job
Beautiful experience. Thank you so much β€
So informative and so wonderful!!! Loved it.
This is so well put together! I was about to undertake this journey with a buddy in summer of 2020, but we couldn't because of Covid. The narration here is awesome and the footage is so perfect. The editing made this video so kudous to whoever is behind that
Y'all need a better vehicle for the environment. And your wallet. Ditch the bus please! π
I rarely enjoy travel channels but I absolutely love your channels mix of history and imagery! Keep it up!
i love the little history explanations that you do with your journey. Great video
