Early Childhood Exhibit: Little Sky Country
You may have read my earlier report about "Little Sky Country" an Early Childhood Gallery in the soon-to-be-open museum called "ExplorationWorks" in the "Big Sky Country" of Helena, Montana.
Well, now the gallery has been installed, as you can see on this Flickr page
The gallery was a collaboration with DCM Fabrication (of Brooklyn, NY) and the staff and volunteers of ExplorationWorks.
One unique thing about ExWorks is that their LEED-certified building was also a "community build" project. (Sort of like a modern barn raising!) In keeping with the eco-friendly theme, we were also able to make use of great "green" materials throughout.
So, if you're ever in "Big Sky Country" make sure to save time for some "Little Sky" too!
