Escape to the Suburbs was an awesome day and since pictures are worth a thousand words….

Elia Chair
The Elia Chair, brainchild of Michael Gross, was a stand-out hit!

More Chairs
The kid-sized chairs are fun to customize, recyclable, and yielded amazing results!

Kids also got a chance to get their groove on as part of the Flow Motion performance featuring Truth Maze, Dancin’ Dave, DJ Stage One, Autumn Compton, Arturo Miles, Debra McGee, and Aaron Barnell.

In addition be being awed by the talent, I heard one of the coolest versions of the ABC song ever!

I always enjoy watching the kids diligently work away as they did at the Satellite Suburbs activity, where kids got to create their own aerial view of a suburb by making a collage with satellite images of Twin Cities’ suburbs.

The project was designed by Ilene Krug Mojsilov in relation to the Worlds Away: New Suburban Landscapes exhibit.

Thanks to all the volunteers, artists, and participants that made it one of those days when, at the end of the day, I think…Wow!
