Saturday morning started wet in Wichita, Kansas, but our tour of Frank Lloyd Wright's Allen-Lambe House was wonderful. An L-shaped house built around a garden and pool, this is one of the largest and most impressive (and last) of the Wright prairie-style homes. Then we were off to Dan Beck's sculpture garden. Giant stones gathered from the surrounding countryside complement this giant of a man. Native plants and wife Chris' sculptures harmonize with Dan's waterfalls & ponds, seven-sided gazebo ("because most gazebos are 6- or 8-sided"), wooden arbor based on the Fibonacci sequence and butterfly garden. Dan says he leaves an offering where he displaces the giant boulders. Along with lots of public art, Wichita possess a new science center and children's museum. Exploration Place is an architectural gem designed by Moshe Safdie. Sited on the edge of the Arkansas River across from the downtown, it is a soaring concrete structure that reflects its use, its site and its materials. Then we were off to Lucas and the 'granddaddy' of America's grassroots art environments. The Garden of Eden has been amazing visitors for over 75 years. Built by Samuel P. Dinsmooor, whose spirit as well as mummified remains linger on the premises, the Garden of Eden reflects his deeply held religious beliefs and his progressive political views. Nearby is Florence Deeble's rock garden and house, now owned by the Grassroots Arts Center and currently displaying the assemblages of Mri Pilar. Down the street is the Grassroots Arts Center, exhibiting artworks by many of Kansas' most famous outsider artists. The GAC folks hosted a parade of mini-art cars in our honor as well as a fun dinner with food based on the art we'd seen.
