Hannah Thiem played extraordinary haunting and uplifting melodies throughout the opening afternoon.

Michael Unger and Maren Goode provided the sonorous thunderous planetary gongs welcoming the sculpture into the meadow.

Kate cut the ribbon to open her sculpture, then asked others to cut the ribbon

We thank our photographers Susan Buck, Bronwyn Smith and Hannah Thiem.  The sculptor  Kate Raudenbush generously offered CoSM such a boon and our unstoppable staff worked double time for the love and commitment to see it happen.  Our architect, Al Cappelli and our contractor, Kevin Lund, graciously donated the plans, the materials and the labor to create the concrete base. The awesome CoSM builders included Peaches, Brian James, Joey Stiles, Thomas Jay VanVoors, Eduardo Darancou, Colin, Gordo, Syd, Steve Shorts, and the 125 first visitors to bless CoSM's newest addition.  Bronwyn co-piloted the transport and Zoe Knight and Sarah Wood, CoSM's office goddesses, were as always, instrumental.
