Chihuly at Seattle Center

Solution, Tivoli Gardens style

I have a solution to the problem of what should be done with part of the Seattle Center Fun Forest.

It is based on a visit to the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen years ago. One could, for a modest price, throw wooden balls at a gallery of Copenhagen china plates.

Why not set up a similar gallery where for a modest price, one could throw stones at a gallery of overblown, production line Chihuly “art” glass? This would provide a display of the glass, preserve an open-air quality for the space and make money, all at the same time.
