Imagination Design Marathon

May 29, 2012

We’ve all heard about dance-a-thons, and walk-a-thons, but in the City of Arts and Innovation it’s all about imagining something different for our community. The Imagination Design Marathon coming up June 2 from 9am to 3pm at the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art will do just that. It’s a day of collaborative, hands-on design to imagine a public art installation that will one day capture and share the community’s collective dreams.

The groundwork is already being laid on line with dreams being collected and shared by individuals of all walks of life throughout the Triad, plus this remarkable effort Imagination Design Marathon is being spearheaded by three extremely capable community leaders. MyBridges.net founder Cheryl Schirillo began the brainstorming process back in August, 2011 and she’s enlisted the support of SECCA Executive Director Mark Leach, and architect and Community Design Studio of Winston-Salem head, Lauren DiBianca Frye.
