The Sideshow is magic – both for the people who participate and for those who attend. Built by artists for the sheer fun of celebrating art and music, it is a very unique show. I created a studio behind a “screen of absent butterflies” and invited people to either take a butterfly that I had painted, or to decorate their own. I attached a milkweed seed to a label printed with information for how to help save the Monarchs: https://www.livemonarch.com.
