Look inside a box, roughly five feet wide, three feet tall that will be displayed on top of the fountain at Constitution Court, 7426 Madison Street (while the fountain is still off for winter).
From the outside, the box will look interesting, an art piece in its own right, but the actual “art project” will exist inside. The box’s interior will feature an intricate diorama, depicting several scenes. However, the diorama as a whole will never be seen, instead, only parts of it will be visible through several viewing ports and periscopes mounted on the outside of the box.
In the same way that a filmmaker chooses “shots” to film a movie, these viewing ports will reveal the interior diorama from a variety of angles. Each of these chosen perspectives will show a different part of the scenes inside.
What’s actually happening in there will be completely subjective based on the order in which someone looks through the viewing ports.
Are the scenes related to each other? Is there a specific order to look into the box? Is there is a mystery? Is there a message? Is it funny in there? Did something terrible happen?
It’s all entirely up to the viewer to decide. Everyone who looks into these boxes will have different answers to these questions, even though they all saw the same thing.

He and his family create films for the Arts Alliance 48-Hour Film Festival and Red Carpet Gala and he has participated in the Casket Races, building four different caskets with his team The Dead Last.
Pop-Up Markets hosted by local venues provide an opportunity for people to meet artists and artisans and purchase original artwork and hand-made articles. Talk to the artists and learn about the processes they use to create paintings, jewelry, pottery, photographs and more.
Our all-volunteer board brings diverse experiences to promote the arts so that the Forest Park Arts Alliance makes a positive, cultural impact for artists, residents, and visitors of Forest Park.
This is the brainchild of long time Forest Park resident, Sally Cody, who's vision to celebrate the arts in Forest Park started with painting a rusty bridge with original artwork. Now, the Arts Alliance, a 501c3 non-profit organization, broadens its scope to bring to the joy of art to Forest Park residents and beyond .
