Children's Nest Egg Featured in St. Louis Park Magazine

St. Louis Park Magazine, June 2014 Issue, includes an article, "The Art of Community" by Maggie Soucheray Sonnek about public art in St. Louis Park. The article is a nice tour illustrating the city's commitment to the arts and giving a little background about each featured project and its artist/designer.

Children's Nest Egg is one of the projects featured and I enjoyed talking with Maggie about the community engagement that was involved in both creating and renewing the nest.

I've always been so impressed with the St. Louis Park Arts and Culture program, and was honored to be part of it.
