Luna Parc: A home, and an eclectic canvas

Ricky Boscarino, a man with a passion for art and craftsmanship, has transformed a dilapidated house into his lifelong project, Luna Parc. This 5,000 square foot home doubles as an eclectic art gallery and a non-profit organization aimed at supporting up-and-coming artists. Boscarino, who comes from a family of carpenters and artisans, has spent an estimated 56,000 hours building his dream home.

The house features a unique bathroom with a shower in the middle of the room, a testament to Boscarino's love for innovative design. Despite its size, Boscarino believes the house is "plenty big enough for one person and a few cats." The exterior of the house, Boscarino calls the Electric Garden, is equally impressive, with ongoing projects that seem to be endless.

Boscarino's living space is a full-time job, requiring two years to complete a two-year loop of dusting and cleaning. He firmly denies being a hoarder, stating that his collection of items serves a purpose in his artistic endeavors. People from the art community often visit Luna Parc to contribute to the project, making it a true collaborative space.

In addition to serving as a home and an art gallery, Luna Parc is also a non-profit organization. Boscarino funds his lifelong project through the sale of his artworks and by offering public tours at certain times of the year. Boscarino's vision for Luna Parc extends beyond its current state, with plans for a final project that will hold his ashes and feature his furniture atop it.

In the end, Luna Parc is a testament to Boscarino's artistic vision and dedication. It is a place where art, craftsmanship, and a deep love for his craft converge, creating a unique and inspiring environment for both the artist and visitors alike. Home truly is where the art is.
