Lately, it feels like every sentence about playgrown begins "I'm so  excited." I recall conversations when I was on the Wisconsin Humanities Council "Don't tell us something is exciting or fun, show us." Well. here's a little taste of things to come in Detroit and hopefully Kalamazoo as we gear up to raise funds to start designing and building the first playgrown installation on Detroit's east-side. To create this approximation of a playgrown installation, friend, colleague and team-member Damon Dickerson incorporated  ideas                                                                                     drawn from early playgrown drawings and visions and the innovative input of                                                                                 Carlos Nielbock, Craig Wilkins,  Laura Sprague  and Tyree Guyton.
