In response to the public outcry over our recent removal of the Cherry from Spoonbridge and Cherry, we would like to invite artists and creative thinkers ages 12 and under to share their ideas of what they would place on top of the spoon while the cherry is on vacation. We will be posting selections from these entries here on the Education and Community Programs blog.
Please submit your drawings and concepts to:
The Hypothetical Spoonbridge Commission
Care of Elena Vetter

Or via email to:

Deadline: March 20, 12 pm
Update! March 27th, 12 pm
I think a giant meatball should go on the spoon because I like to eat my meatballs on a spoon!

I am not 12 or under, but I think you should leave the spoon empty to remind people that not every spoon has something in it. Maybe this will inspire the people who are fortunate to have full spoons to donate to their local food shelf to help fill others spoons.

Our granddaughter, Gracie Alice Lahr (2 1/2), suggests a giant Cheerio go on top of the spoon.
I think that Minnesota’s own General Mills would be exicted to contribute.

Vanessa (age 4)- \Um… a big cheerio? Or maybe some yogurt.\

A Cheerio since Cheerios is the most popular breakfast cereal, General Mills is a Mpls company, and because people probably use spoons to eat cereal more than any other food!

Thanks everybody for your responses! I’ve extended the deadline by one week, so you have a few more days to get in your ideas. We’ve received many suggestions in the last few days, but no drawings yet! Email your drawings to joseph.rizzo@walkerart.org or you can mail them in to the address above.
