    Quote

    From acclaimed artist Sean Kenney and produced by Imagine Exhibitions, this exhibition features 38 sculptures made from more than 800,000 LEGO® Bricks. Inspired by the Pop art movement, Kenney’s work blurs the boundaries between austere and the everyday, drawing from a belief that everything is interconnected. Sean Kenney’s Nature POP! Made with LEGO® Bricks explores the beauty of nature through highly stylized, colorful displays that stand in striking contrast with their surroundings. Presenting a playful spin on traditional sculptural art, this exhibition is an accessible experience for all ages designed to inspire visitors to create something wonderful themselves.

  4. We need a vacuum sealer so we can create custom bags of parts. It does not need to be new, but it does need to be reliable.

    It would be used to create bags of parts that get asked for more often. For example, I want a bag of just tires and wheels or a bag of just technic gears or a bag of just minifigure hair.

    If you have a working vacuum sealer, and would like to donate it to our operation, you can join the ranks of the many people that are helping make this dream for our community turn into a reality!

    Thanks for being one of our heroes and helping us out in this area if you are able. Post below to let us know.

  5. We need a microwave for our party room. It does not need to be new, but it does need to be reliable.

    It would be used so that families can bring in food that will need to be heated or reheated and that gives them more options for fun parties.

    If you have a working microwave, and would like to donate it to our party room, you can join the ranks of the many people that are helping make this dream for our community turn into a reality!

    Thanks for being one of our heroes and helping us out in this area if you are able. Post below to let us know.

  6. We need a refrigerator for our party room. It does not need to be new, but it does need to be reliable.

    It would be used so that families can bring in drinks, food, and ice cream for their parties instead of just coolers.

    If you have a working fridge, and would like to donate it to our party room, you can join the ranks of the many people that are helping make this dream for our community turn into a reality!

    It needs to be around 30"-32" wide, but not wider than 32".

    Thanks for being one of our heroes and helping us out in this area if you are able. Post below to let us know.
