Thank you for visiting American Colossus. We’re honored by your attention and eager for you to join myself and our board on a work of deep, powerful meaning.

American Colossus is building the country’s bold beacon of optimism and human triumph: the Great Colossus of Prometheus on Alcatraz. A Monument to American Manifest Destiny, to the liberating force of technology and entrepreneurship, and to the noble destiny of the West.

Standing taller than the Statue of Liberty, our Monument inaugurates a new golden age, revering creativity and the heroic nature of Man. It unapologetically symbolizes a brilliant, optimistic American future, calling us to visionary thinking, bold achievement, and forging this new world into a powerful ideal. It also marks the reclamation of our society from forces of desecration.

The Monument reaffirms independence, individual agency, and freedom with a new brand of American self-determination, scaled upward to meet an emerging accelerationist atomic and space age. It champions the pursuit of happiness as the perennial American covenant.

Prometheus, the Titan of innovative progress, will inspire 1,000 years of Americans to overcome for the sake of nobility, beauty and creative endeavor.

We aim to construct a legacy that will uplift and inspire millions of young Americans with a towering symbol of our commitment to a free and life-affirming future, the heroism of Man, and the triumph of American values.

Join our cause, alongside patriots of the West, our architects, engineers, sculptors, entrepreneurs, investors and creative media producers who believe great works of beauty and power can uplift and guide the course of our precious civilization.

-Ross Calvin, Executive Director
