ArtsLIVE has proven that big ideas can happen if we work in concert and support the ideas of local creative talent. Case in point: the 2009 ArtsLIVE People Project (photo attached) was featured in statewide publications and video of the eco-art project was broadcast nationally on CNN. The People Project is an annual collaboration between Iowa Lakeside Lab and ArtsLIVE to bring about awareness of eco-friendly practices and inspire all to come out and be apart of art! An incredibly fun and successful endeavor, the enormous piece of "human art" is fast becoming a University of Okoboji Winter Games tradition and shows what the power of collaboration can make happen!
