Wilson Butler Architects (WBA)

Recipe for a 175-metric-ton (386,000 lbs) Pearl on #IconoftheSeas? ?? First it starts with an idea for an arrival experience (WBA). ??♀? Then it takes some creative collaboration in Finland with a brilliant structural engineering team (Meyer Turku) and meticulous technical outfitter (Mobimar Ltd). ?? Finally, it requires the largest kinetic sculptural installation by a group of talented Brooklyn artists (BREAKFAST). ?? Then you place it in a dry dock and patiently wait (about a year) for a ship to be built around it. ?? Thanks to Royal Caribbean International for the opportunity!

Outdoor venues hold a unique place in the heart of a community, serving as vibrant spaces where art, culture, people, and nature come together. Beyond its role for entertainment, the new Deauville Island Amphitheater will become a community destination for Auburn (NY) and the region, providing accessible spaces for gathering, entertainment, and cultural enrichment. Within Cayuga County's Emerson Park and at the head of Owasco Lake, the new venue will invite residents and visitors alike to connect with both the arts and the outdoors, making it a beloved landmark that will enhance the community’s social fabric and cultural?enlightenment.

And that's a "wicked" wrap for us, with 2,024 cans of green beans, tuna, and soup headed to the Merrimack Food Bank. The Emerald City may be coming down at 290 Congress Street, but thanks to Canstruction, many families in MA will have full plates and peace of mind, knowing they won't go hungry. Huge thanks again to all our amazing sponsors! #CanstructionBoston SMPS Boston

A stunning evening at The Bushnell in Hartford for their Celebration of Giving Dinner. Outstanding food, beverages, and conversation capped by a performance by Nteliseng Nkhela?from the cast of?The Lion King?(Ensemble, Understudy Rafiki), making her Broadway debut and joined directly from the Hamburg company of?The Lion King.

Green beans, tuna, and soup, oh my! Follow the yellow brick road to a world without hunger. The Wizard of Oz has been captivating audiences since 1900, with the Emerald City shining in every version. The 1939 MGM film first previewed at Cape Cinema in Dennis, MA, and has since been adapted in countless ways, most recently on the world’s largest cruise ship, #IconoftheSeas. Soon, it will be back in theaters with Wicked. But here, it's a symbol of ending hunger. The vibrant city of green (beans) awaits at the end of the soup road. No worries about the red poppies here; they’ll nourish rather than make you sleep. This city, made from canned goods, celebrates the colorful magic of the 1939 film and aims to provide healthy meals for families in need. Just as Dorothy wished to be back in "CANsas" for supper, we wish for every family to gather at home for dinner. A heartfelt thank you to our generous sponsors—thanks to your support, there truly is no place like home! Colantonio Inc.

The future Studio Theatre and Bill & Carol Ham Amphitheatre will expand on the current programming opportunity and enhance the patron experience, completing the original vision of the Jay and Susie Gogue Performing Arts Center at Auburn University with the addition of two new venues. ?? The 3,100-seat Amphitheatre blends into the rural setting with landscaped berms and stairs, as food trucks and vendors surround the performance lawn to create a festival-like atmosphere during large touring rock & pop shows. ?? The versatile 250-seat Studio Theatre is designed for a wide range of uses - including theater, music rehearsal and recitals, dance, banquets, and immersive arts. With an overhead tension grid and sprung floor, the venue will host intimate performances for diverse audiences such as chamber arts, jazz, cabaret theater, pre-function events, and family performances. #immersive #theater #amphitheater
