Create Space is a series of exhibit ‘carts’ that have visitors engage with art through more senses than sight.  A mobile uses a moustache-shaped armature as a basis for balancing random soft sculpture bits.  An art cart can be loaded up with supplies in different media ready to serve as home base for today’s art lessons.  A beatbox lets kids combine sounds at different tempos and volumes to produce their own unique music piece.  A shadow puppet theatre has kids entertaining themselves with good old-fashioned shadow puppets.  And all the carts were designed to nest together in storage so the space can be converted to a special events space as needed.

Location:  Morean Center for Clay, St. Petersburg, FL
