ARTIST INSTALLATION
This year, the festival introduces a live art installation, which will be
created interactively with festival attendees both Saturday and Sunday.
Evanston artist Tim Abel invites festival attendees to write their wishes
on small origami paper boats, which then will then be cast afl oat in the
lagoon. Visitors are invited to stop by to share their wish or to learn the
simple origami construction steps so they can make their own wish boat
to launch! The collected wishes will become a fl oating poem as their
numbers grow over the duration of the festival.
ALSO NEW FOR 2009!
